Principles we follow
|
|
|
|
We build businesses that concentrate on vertical communities.
What this means is that by focusing on narrow defined market segments we can deliver markets and communities something that uniquley caters for their needs better than anyone else.
|
|
|
|
Now if you take this a step further and cater for many different vertical communities.
Then provide specialised services for each of them, you provide services for people in what appear at first glance disjoint communities.
Yet you offer them something that at first was narrow in definition, but all of a sudden becomes something quite connected.
|
|
|
|
The clever part comes in when you know how to connect and link these communities together.

What's in a name?
|
|
|
|
Our name Kopernik is in tribute to the polish astronomer Mikolaj Kopernik (Nicolaus Copernicus). Kopernik formulated an explicitly heliocentric model of the solar system. The idea that the sun is the centre of the solar system.
|
|
|
|
Mikolaj Kopernik was born in 1473 in the city of Torun in Poland. Kopernik studied astronomy, law and medicine at the universities of Kraków Academy (Jagiellonian University), Bologna and Padua.
|
|
|
In 1514 Kopernik made Commentarioulus (little Commentary) available to his close friends - a short text describing his theories about the heliocentric hypothesis.
|
|
|
In the year of his death in 1543, The major theories of Kopernik were published in a book, De revolutionibus orbium coelstium (on the Revolutions of the Celestial Spheres).
Legend says that the first printed copy was placed in his hands the very day he died, allowing him to take with him his life's work. It is said that he woke up from a stroke-induced coma, looked at his book, and died peacefully.
