If your startup doesn’t match VC criteria, but still, you want to build a big and great company. We are the right investor for you.
When your investors would like to exit. We are one of a few in CEE who can solve it.
A short honest process, and the same partner from first conversation to the long-term partnership.
“I really value working with the fund, the partnership and the mutual respect. I’m glad to have someone on the other side I can always run things by: an idea, a thought, or a situation that isn’t always pleasant. On the other side there are genuinely experienced managers, whose experience I’ve relied on time and again. Their advice is worth hearing,even if it isn’t always obvious at the very start. At the end of the day, I can admit they were right 90% of the time. We take on challenges together, and it’s easier to take certain risks when an experienced manager has also cast an eye over them.”
Real answers about how we invest, what we look for, and how to work with us.
We invest in founders first. The ones who are determined, resilient and always raise the bar. We invest in projects with incredible outcomes, whatever that may be. In our portfolio we have AI products/infrastructure and products connecting hardware and software.
We're flexible on timing and genuinely curious about what you're building. We start with a quick read of your idea - if it adds up, we meet. Then we dig into the market, technology, problem, and competition. If everything holds up, we move fast and wire the money.
Sometimes that takes weeks. Sometimes days. Our record is an 8-minute pitch to wire :)
We need to understand your goals, ambitions, and domain-specific expertise. We need to understand the problem you're solving in depth. Why now is a good moment to start? We prefer Doers, not Thinkers, so we don't need a deck or any other materials in the pre-seed.
Our team built great companies, we aren't just capital. Our partners and operating bench are on call for the life of our investment: pricing, hiring, GTM, strategy, finance, technology.
We are a private fund; we do not have any institutional or public LPs money. Flexibility is our strong end here, meaning that we can wait for a bigger win.
We're rooted in CEE, Poland especially and have expanded across Europe and the US.
For niche markets, Europe is enough. For categories with low defensibility, we back US-based startups or founders ready to relocate. We are very keen on investing in Polish or CEE diaspora in the US.
Yes, in our portfolio you find a lot of similar startups (Pocket, CTHINGS, WIMBA, etc.). We like startups connecting hardware physicality and software capabilities.
We are based in Amsterdam and Cracow, our operating team is located in Cracow.
No, we invest only private money without institutional LP.
We invest part of the funds in companies that don't fit the traditional VC mold, for eg. Yokaba, also we're one of the few funds in CEE that can do secondary deals.
We are willing to be both. No matter the role, we value the partnership.
We back builders, not planners. Revenue takes time, we get that. What we look for early on is momentum: waitlists, calls made, customers chased.
We don't invest in mock-ups.
8 minutes. The founder had an incredible idea, and the conviction to build something massive. 200 000 € initial investment.
Our hobbies span from piloting planes and Ju-Jitsu to running, golf and embroidery. The fund keeps us busy enough.
We've built from scratch, so we know what the hard parts actually feel like. One of the few things that we enjoy is taking calls on Saturday afternoon.
Up to 10 days. We strive to be as fast as possible, but we're often heads-down with portfolio companies. Either way, we'll get back to you.
If you're the right founder but your business doesn't fit the VC model, we still want to talk. When you know why now is a good moment to build, we'll find a way to make it work.
