Krakowski Silvaire gets international boost

Polish start-ups appear set to continue to follow the trend of receiving increased funding in 2017, according to a report from Rzeczpospolita. A string of high-profile international investors have, in recent weeks, benefited various emerging Polish businesses. For example, Krakowski Silvaire, a company which provides intelligent lighting solutions to buildings, received USD 12 million in funding from American investors. Marek Wierzbicki, a manager at the company, said, “We have a strong presence in San Francisco,” after the company opened an office in that city recently. Meanwhile, Jobsquare, an app which assists people in their job search, received USD 2.3 million from investor b-Value, and Tomosz Kuchar’s Moto banker was recently backed by WinVentures.
