NFI Jupiter acquires majority stake in e-Katalyst incubator
National Investment Fund (NFI) Jupiter will invest zl. 30 million in
internet incubator e-Katalyst, which is set to debut on the stock exchange
in two years. "There are many new ideas on the internet market, but most
of them are too small for the NFI to invest in them directly," said Janusz
Koczyk from Jupiter, "However, we do not want to miss these opportunities.
This is why we are entering the incubator." Jupiter will acquire a 50.1%
stake in e-Katalyst for zl. 6 million. "In the first half of next year we
are ready to boost the incubator's capital by another zl. 24 million,"
said Koczyk. e-Katalyst is a typical incubator, aimed at finding
e-business ideas and providing financial and technical support for them.
