MCI Capital

Industries: The fund's strategy is based on investing in companies from three areas: digital transformation, digital adaptation, and digital ecosystem.

Activity: MCI Capital is a so-called fund-of-funds. As an investor, the company is currently involved in four different funds: MCI.EuroVentures, MCI.CreditVentures, MCI.TechVentures and Invetnet Ventures. The funds differ in the stages of development of the companies they engage in, from the VC level to PE/buyout.

Background: MCI Capital was founded by Tomasz Czechowicz. The company has been investing and supporting entrepreneurs in value creation since 1999. Investment decisions are made by the fund's board of directors, which includes Tomasz Czechowicz, Ewa Ogryczak, Sylwester Janik, Krzysztof Konopiński, Tomasz Danis and Maciej Kowalski.

What stage the project must be in: Investments from the VC model concern companies that no longer have technology risk (the product already exists), and when there is a model for monetizing the venture (the company has revenue).

Investment amount: The amount invested depends on the specific fund. In VC projects, investments start at several million zlotys (Internet Ventures fund). The MCI.EuroVentures fund, which operates in the area of PE/buy-out companies, invests amounts exceeding 100 million zlotys.
