INNOventure

INNOventure is a venture capital firm based in Poland, dedicated to assisting innovative scientists, engineers, and entrepreneurs in developing and commercializing their projects. The firm provides initial capital, connects founders with experienced professionals for mentorship, and helps develop projects to make them attractive to customers and future investors. INNOventure operates as a fund, focusing on return on investment for both investors and founders, and is involved in building the company's value throughout its duration, not limited to supervising the founder.

The firm's investment strategy emphasizes supporting projects at the early stages of development, particularly those with a competent managing team and a realistic business model. INNOventure typically invests up to PLN 1 million, taking a minority stake in the company to ensure the founder retains control. The firm does not base share distribution on paper valuations, allowing the market to determine the company's value. INNOventure is particularly interested in projects in the fields of biotechnology, medicine, the Internet of Things, intelligent networks, and geoinformation technologies, leveraging the Krakow Technology Park business ecosystem for non-financial support.

INNOventure's portfolio includes companies such as DigitalFirst.AI, Phonemic, Laven, Neuromedical, RevDeBug, and Saventic Health. The firm's team comprises experienced professionals like Marcin Bielówka, who manages the fund and fosters relationships with partners, and Leszek Skowron, who supports the development of projects from inception. The team believes in the concept of 'smart money,' providing not only financial resources but also competencies, business contacts, and operational support to implement R&D projects and commercialize their results. They maintain the highest standards for securing the confidentiality of information provided by founders at every stage of the investment process.
