Czysta3.vc

Czysta3.vc is a Poland-based early-stage venture capital fund that focuses on tech startups, especially in sectors like SaaS, fintech, martech, proptech, e-commerce, and cloud technology. Established in 2019, the fund has quickly become one of the most active VCs in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), with a portfolio of 25+ companies. Notable investments include INKsearch.co, a platform connecting tattoo artists with clients, and Rating Captain, an AI-driven customer review platform. Their investment strategy targets seed and pre-seed stages, with an average ticket size of €250K, allowing startups to build minimum viable products (MVPs) and achieve initial revenues. Czysta3.vc is known for a more risk-averse approach compared to typical VCs, focusing on startups that can achieve profitability within a short timeframe, often within two years. They aim for a 5-7x return on capital (CoC), and while not chasing unicorns, they prioritize consistent and diversified growth across industries. The fund is led by Szymon Janiak, a co-founder with extensive experience in the Polish startup ecosystem. They continue to invest aggressively, with plans to expand their portfolio further, leveraging Poland’s growing tech ecosystem and favorable market conditions.
