List of lists of investors — Poland Chapter
who are venture capitals moving around in Pierogi-land (VC, angel investors, and platforms)
Poland has developed into one of Europe’s economies with one of the quickest rates of growth, boasting a stable political system and an educated labor force. Poland’s economy has grown quickly since it joined the EU in 2004, thanks to a skilled labor force, a sizable domestic market, and affordable labor costs. The nation has experienced extensive economic modernization and reforms, creating a business-friendly environment that has drawn in outside investment. Poland is renowned for having a robust manufacturing sector, particularly in the machinery, electronics, and automotive sectors. Additionally, Poland’s IT industry has been expanding quickly as a result of the establishment of many foreign businesses there, with its advantageous position and potential for economic growth. Years ago the skilled IT army was often employed as contractors by large European and American companies, now there is a growing interest into startups.
The following is not an exhaustive list of investors but what I have been able to find through online search and word-of-mouth.
As usual it is better to subdivide the list into web platforms, VC and, angels.
However, many of the people listed as individual angels are often partners of the companies listed as VC. I have also linked to existing lists found online.
Platforms
In addition to wider known platform, it seems there is one specific for Poland to promote yourself as an angel investor or to find one, it is called COBIN:
COBIN Angels: Business Angel Community for early-stage investment in startups and new tech
Moreover, it seems all Polish angels are on WellFound (formerly Angellist):
