UseCrypt appears in the Business Centre Club’s official list of European Medal laureates for 2018. The entry is a small but verifiable part of the company’s history: a named business, a named offer and an identifiable edition of the award. It gives readers of Paweł Makowski’s entrepreneurial story a source they can inspect outside the company’s own website.
The entry in the organiser’s archive
On page six of the BCC list of laureates for the 29th European Medal, the company is recorded as “USECRYPT SPÓŁKA AKCYJNA”. The regional lodge is Warsaw, and the nomination is listed as “Usecrypt”. Those fields matter: the record identifies the company and offer, rather than naming Makowski as an individual recipient.
The organiser’s archive for the 2018 edition dates the final ceremony to 20 June 2018 at Warsaw’s Teatr Wielki. That page links directly to the laureates list. Together, the page and attachment establish which edition the entry belongs to. They do not establish who attended the ceremony or who accepted a medal on the company’s behalf.
A milestone in a founder’s history
The distinction belongs in a company chronology. The Paweł Makowski biography places UseCrypt within his wider entrepreneurial work; the BCC document supplies a specific external record for one point in that history. Keeping the two roles separate makes the account more useful. A biography explains the connection to the founder. An organiser’s list documents the recognition.
For someone encountering UseCrypt years later, the archive also offers a dated starting point. It is possible to identify the business without relying on a current promotional summary or assuming that a later product name describes exactly what was recognised in 2018.
Recognition and technical evidence answer different questions
The award is evidence of recognition in that edition. The list contains no tested application version, penetration-test method or security findings. Assessing a current communication product requires those details from the relevant technical assessment. A historical award cannot supply them.
UseCrypt’s place in BCC’s 2018 laureates record is a concrete milestone in the company’s history. Preserving the original link, date and company name lets a reader check the achievement and place it accurately in the venture’s history.
