Who are we looking for?
– We are looking for aspiring entrepreneurs who plan to create and develop state-of-the-art products and services in the field of chemistry, biotechnology and ICT – explains Katarzyna Wlaź from PSTP Seed Fund. – Our offer is mainly addressed to entrepreneurs and researchers who plan to run their own business, who understand the market, competition, with its positive features, and, most importantly, who are developing innovative solutions and that is why they need an investor.
How do we operate?
Selected ideas will be developed from the moment of defining primary assumptions with regard to the functioning of the business, in close cooperation with coordinators and experts (e.g. working in finance, intellectual property rights or technology transfer), and until the key financial and business decisions related to the enterprise are made.
Before the decision to establish a special purpose vehicle is made, ideas will be tested on the market thanks to our cooperation with the largest companies. A positive feedback from the market will give the green light to develop the business supported by the investor’s capital.
Apart from offering advice and investment capital, PSTP also provides selected businesses with research environment, equipment and necessary technology.
