Investment Thesis

SPINAKER alfa is a seed capital fund focused on early-stage R&D projects, responding to a financing gap in Poland’s research and development sector. The fund helps scientists and entrepreneurs validate business ideas and products, then connects them with business partners during commercialization phases. Their approach emphasizes understanding the scientific research environment and early-stage transaction expertise to provide valuable substantive support for company value growth.

What Sets Them Apart

  • Focus on early-stage R&D projects (Proof of Principle and Proof of Concept phases) rather than later-stage ventures
  • Free analysis process for entrepreneurs - all project analysis costs are borne by the fund
  • Partnership with Narodowym Centrum Badań i Rozwoju (National Centre for Research and Development) through the BRIdge alfa program
  • Team with over 25 years of experience supporting innovative projects
  • Comprehensive support beyond capital: strategic guidance, operational support, expertise in financing acquisition
  • Investment range of 25,000 to 250,000 EUR per project (up to 1 million PLN total)
  • Emphasis on 'Polish Element' - projects must have headquarters and management center in Poland
  • Minority stake investment allowing entrepreneurs to retain majority control
  • Continuous support post-investment as active investor monitoring and assisting company development
