Investment Thesis

Simpact Ventures is Poland’s first VC impact investing fund, combining financial returns with measurable social and environmental impact. Their philosophy centers on the belief that investments should actively contribute to solving societal and environmental challenges while delivering market-rate financial returns. They view impact not as an ancillary benefit but as an essential, intentional element core to each portfolio company’s business model.

What Sets Them Apart

  • First impact investing VC fund in Poland, launched in 2016
  • Rigorous impact measurement and reporting - for each portfolio company they define 2-3 specific impact KPIs that are measurable and concrete
  • Mission-driven approach: impact must be intentional and integral to the business, not peripheral or accidental
  • Sector-agnostic but naturally aligned with EdTech, MedTech, CleanTech, and BioTech
  • Founder-friendly approach with minimal operational intervention; provides 'smart money' through network access and introductions rather than directive involvement
  • Transparent, market-based fund with no government funds or public aid - fully private capital from institutional investors including European Investment Fund
  • Support for follow-on investments with significant portion of budget dedicated to portfolio company support
  • Streamlined decision-making with 3-member investment committee of partners
