How2 is a technology and publishing startup – the first fully digital publishing house e-book platform of this type in our country .
Together with celebrities and experts—authorities in their fields—we create original, multimedia ebooks—publications available exclusively on the How2 platform. This represents a completely new level of quality in the publishing market. Ebooks published by How2 are created with the e-reader in mind, answering questions frequently asked by internet users online. They cover a variety of topics, including those considered taboo. Furthermore, the ebooks are enriched with numerous innovative solutions—interactive materials, modern graphics, videos, and animations. Importantly, their production is carried out in a zero-waste spirit, using eco-friendly solutions.
The How2 platform was created by Agnieszka Hyży (journalist, TV presenter, owner of the Global Media event agency) and Anna Zofia Powierza (photographer, director, owner of the 4MC creative agency and studio).
" As recent research shows, each of us spends almost seven hours a day online. It's worth spending this time creatively and meaningfully. I've often asked myself whether the range of publications available online couldn't be better quality—both in terms of content and technology. This question gave rise to the concept of How2 ebooks—tailored to the modern reader—demanding, modern, and searching. That's why our ebooks answer the questions asked by internet users. We've recreated the ebook—you'll find not only the written word, great photos, illustrations inspired by contemporary art, but also many other innovative solutions ," emphasizes Anna Zofia Powierża, CEO of How2.
" For years, I've divided my professional activities into the media and business worlds. I finally decided to combine my experiences from both industries. I believe they complement each other perfectly, " admits Agnieszka Hyży, CEO of How2. " I strongly believe in the mission of How2. I feel this platform can change the Polish internet for the better. I'm also happy to be co-creating this project with another woman. The 21st century belongs to women, and I hope our actions will be proof of that, " she adds.
How2's potential was immediately recognized – well-known business angels in the Polish startup market became involved in the project. Among them: Dawid Urban , an entrepreneur currently involved in building the Less app, which is conquering the Polish market.
The authors of the premiere ebooks available on the How2 platform from July 23rd include Dorota Wellman , Daria Ładocha , Katarzyna Bosacka , Katarzyna Pakosińska , Piotr Grabarczyk , and Sylwia Bomba .

Wojciech Paczka , an entrepreneur, founder of the OVO.DESIGN brand, one of How2's shareholders and COO, says this about How's development strategy: " Thanks to investment and operational support, we plan to develop both the technology of existing products and expand our offerings with valuable multimedia content, audiobooks, and podcasts in the near future. We're also open to other forms of content. We want to respond to the dynamically changing needs of the market, and in particular, those of internet users .
