Innovation Nest

Innovation Nest is a venture capital firm based in Kraków that invests in early-stage business-to-business software companies across Europe. It was set up by founders who had previously built and exited some of the first startups in the CEE region, and the firm says it has spent around ten years applying that experience to help other founders. Portfolio companies named on its site include Wordware, which raised a seed round; Infraspeak, a facilities-management company; Najar, a procurement platform; AI Clearing, a construction-industry progress-tracking company; and Kenjo, an HR technology company that expanded into Latin America. An earlier portfolio company, PerfectGym, was acquired by Sport Alliance, and the firm describes its base in Kraków as central to supporting founders across the continent.
