Our story

A curriculum built around the maths, not the pitch

Wuliva Zeyene runs an educational workshop programme. It began as an internal training deck for a small group of tool owners comparing notes, and grew into a structured two-day format once it became clear the same five questions kept coming up.

Why this started as a spreadsheet

The first version of this material was a shared spreadsheet, not a slide deck. A handful of people who already owned construction tools, event lighting or camera equipment were separately trying to work out whether renting the idle time out was worth the hassle. Instead of each person guessing at pricing and insurance independently, the questions got written down and answered once, properly.

That spreadsheet is still the backbone of the pricing block taught on day two. It has been rebuilt several times as tax and insurance details changed, but the underlying logic, working from purchase cost and expected utilisation rather than a rate copied from a competitor's listing, has stayed the same since the beginning.

Approach

Taught by people who work through the numbers with you

Small working groups

Sessions are kept small enough that each participant works through their own inventory and city, not a generic example on a slide.

No platform affiliation

Wuliva Zeyene is not affiliated with any listing platform, insurer or auction house, so the material can be honest about the trade-offs of each.

Frameworks over anecdotes

Rather than storytelling about a single success, each block hands over a repeatable method that can be applied to a different city or a different category.

Updated as rules change

Insurance terms and platform fee structures shift over time. The curriculum is reviewed between cohorts so the examples used stay current.

What we deliberately leave out

This is not a programme that promises a passive income figure, and it is not a rental company recruiting people to manage its equipment. Nobody leaves the room with equipment, a franchise agreement or a guaranteed booking. What they leave with is a clearer sense of whether renting out a piece of equipment fits their situation, and the tools to work out the numbers themselves before spending anything.

We also avoid teaching a single winning category. Construction tools, event gear and photography equipment behave differently enough across Polish cities that a one-size answer would do more harm than good. The two days are built to help each participant apply the same method to whatever they already own or are considering buying.
