The PFR Biznest FIZ was created to support innovative small and medium enterprises (SMEs) at an early stage of development.
The PFR Biznest FIZ is the fund of funds, whose beneficiaries are innovative companies at an early stage of development. They may either be an enterprise that:
does not conduct activities on any market (Group A), or
has been conducting activities on any market for less than 7 years since the first commercial sale (Group B).
The fund strategy is to make investments through financial intermediaries (co-investment funds) cooperating with Business Angels that – by sharing their experience and competences and smart money – increase the financed companies’ chances of commercial success.
Innovative small and medium enterprises,
Private investors.
