Paweł Makowski’s work as the founder of UseCrypt has a company history as well as a public-facing one. An announcement published in October 2019 records an effort to bring the business into contact with American companies operating in Poland.
What the AmCham announcement said
On 8 October 2019, MamStartup published an announcement that UseCrypt had joined the American Chamber of Commerce in Poland. The page is labelled “Informacja prasowa”, meaning press release. It should be read as a company announcement carried by the publisher, not as an independent assessment of the product.
The release quoted Yuval Rabin on the opportunity to reach American businesses present in Poland. It described an intended commercial audience that included companies and public institutions. Its immediate significance was access to a business network, rather than a newly demonstrated security capability.
A business network, not a technical credential
For readers reconstructing Makowski’s entrepreneurial history, this is a specific milestone: UseCrypt was seeking a route into conversations with prospective organisational customers in 2019. That is different from a consumer discovering an app through a short video or a celebrity campaign.
Organisational buyers have their own questions. Who will administer a service? How will staff use it? What will a contract cover? Membership of a business organisation can create opportunities to discuss such matters. The announcement does not show which conversations took place, which contracts followed or what any customer concluded.
It also does not identify Makowski as the person who negotiated the membership. His connection to this history is his role as UseCrypt’s founder, not a personal action that the release does not document. The biographical overview of Paweł Makowski places the company alongside his other documented activity.
Keeping the date attached to the claim
A 2019 announcement is evidence of what was announced then. It is not confirmation of current AmCham membership, a continuing relationship with any named business or a security certification. None of those claims is needed to explain the historical event.
For the UseCrypt story, the value of this source is its specificity. It names an organisation, gives a date and explains the commercial purpose attributed to the membership. Preserving that original record makes the business chronology easier to examine without turning a networking milestone into a product guarantee.
