Recognizing the capital gap in the rapidly developing venture capital market and the growing needs of the ecosystem, we want to support companies in the scaling stage with market-verified solutions. As part of our Growth strategy, we mainly invest in Climate Tech and Industrial Tech, where we can utilize the experience gained over the years and synergy with the TDJ portfolio. We are also open to interesting projects from other areas.
Our initial engagement is 4-6 million EUR, but we understand that founders need a long-term partner to build their business. The flexibility of TDJ’s capital allows us to be with you for years and even allocate up to 10 million EUR for a project as a follow-on investment. We also provide our portfolio companies with our know-how in scaling and the entire team of experts gathered in TDJ Business Excellence.

We support leaders in the startup ecosystem, focusing on investments in the growth stage in Poland and the CEE region. We have a particular interest in projects in the areas of Industry Tech and Climate Tech, but we are also looking for exciting businesses in other promising segments. For this purpose, we have allocated up to 85 million EUR and plan to engage with a maximum of 12 startups.
Under TDJ Venture, we also operate TDJ Pitango Ventures, which we established in collaboration with Pitango Venture Capital from Israel. This fund has already concluded its investment period in new projects and is currently focused on supporting portfolio companies and enhancing their value. It currently holds 8 projects in its portfolio. Additionally, we plan to invest in further funds managed by experienced teams.
We know that a growing company needs not only capital, but also an active investor who, with their knowledge, experience, and network access, supports founding teams in scaling their business. As TDJ Venture, we provide you with access to the expertise of our experts gathered in TDJ Business Excellence, who can work with you in areas such as:
– Business Strategy,
– People Strategy & HR Organization,
– Digital Transformation,
– PR & Communication,
– Lean & Operational Excellence,
– ESG & Sustainability,
– Finance & Controlling.
