Prognozowany udział w pełni elektrycznych pojazdów (BEV, bez hybryd) w europejskim parku samochodowym do 2035 roku, w porównaniu z 4% w 2025 r.
BCG2035Europe
The earliest funding round, typically 50–500 thousand PLN. Funds come from the founders themselves, family, friends, or angel investors — before any institutional venture capital.
Why it matters
Funds the prototype and the first test of the idea in the market — the stage where there’s nothing to show to institutional investors yet.
What's missing without it
Without this round, most ideas never go beyond a presentation — there’s nothing to build even a working prototype from.
When it is used
When you have a team and an idea, but no product or revenue yet.
How we use it
An angel invests 200 thousand PLN for a 10% stake, most often via SAFE with a valuation cap of 5 million PLN.
Fun fact
In English, it’s called 'friends, family and fools' — the three groups that provide funding before there’s anything tangible to evaluate.
