Collaboration between NCBR Investment Fund and Simpact Ventures

Simpact Ventures, under a signed agreement, has become a partner fund of NCBR Investment Fund ASI S.A. (NIF), which operates under a co-investment model. The funds jointly plan to invest in companies generating measurable social or environmental impact.

Simpact is the first investment fund based on the idea of Impact Investing. It successfully invests in scalable startups that address the challenges of today’s world. It supports founders from the early stages of their companies’ development, offering investments of up to €2 million. It is backed by partners such as the European Investment Fund.

Simpact is a fund that aims to generate not only profit, but also positive social change. It shows that investment decisions can carry added value whether in improving the quality of people’s lives or for the good of the environment. NIF wants to contribute to these activities by making joint investments, said Marcin Syposz, Chairman of the Supervisory Board delegated to temporarily act as Chairman of the Board of the NCBR Investment Fund.

We are pleased that Simpact Ventures has chosen NIF as a co-investment partner, continuing the existing cooperation between the Simpact team and NCBR. By establishing cooperation, NIF hopes to complete at least 2 new deals in 2025.

NIF is a co-investment venture capital fund, specializing in investments in small and medium-sized enterprises in the growth or expansion phase, commercializing the results of research and development work. The value of single investments ranges from PLN 3 million to €15 million. NIF and Simpact plan to make their first investments in the first half of this year.
