Kaya VC plans to invest EUR 80 mln for startups in Poland and elsewhere

The Czech fund Kaya VC announced the creation of a fifth venture capital fund, planning to invest €80 million in startups from the Czech Republic, Slovakia, and Poland. The total value of Kaya’s four existing funds is around €300 million, with investments in companies like Polish startups Booksy, DocPlanner, Jutro Medical, and Zeta Labs.
Kaya VC aims to support ambitious local entrepreneurs and sees significant potential in Central Europe. The fifth fund will continue investing in early-stage companies from these countries, with initial investments ranging from €100,000 to €3 million and follow-on investments up to €25 million.
