Business angels in Poland

Summary/Abstract: Business angels are important players in the ecosystem of financing innovative ventures. They support startups with their capital, but their knowledge, experience and network of contacts are more valuable. There are no studies in the scientific literature showing what the market in Poland looks like or what features do business angels have. We present the first study of this type in Poland. The aim of this article is to define the characteristics of business angels, their investment preferences and the manner of making investment decisions. This goal was achieved through a questionnaire survey of 40 of the most active business angels operating on the Polish market. The research confirms the assumptions that the Polish market of business angels is young, as evidenced by the experience of investors and a small number of exits.
