Difficulties in obtaining financial resources are actually the biggest development barrier for startups. Problems with access to money are particularly acute in the initial stages of startup development, when they do not yet have an established position on the market and do not have many customers. Financial gap The report by the Startup Poland Foundation shows that the capital gap in Poland amounts to several hundred billion zlotys. In normal economic conditions, a financing gap occurs when more projects are created than there is capital available to finance them.
Currently, however, the economy is in a rather difficult situation and even very good projects may not be financed. Industries that are short of money As part of the Startup Poland Foundation's report, a survey was conducted among startups. Their owners were photo retouching asked which industries they believed were the most underfunded. These studies show that the education industry is considered the most underfunded. The next highly underfinanced industries are GreenTech/CleanTech , hardware, AgroTech ( %), MedTech ( %), industry.
What else is missing? Apart from the obvious capital deficit, Polish startups also lack the necessary knowledge and experience. In such cases, various types of acceleration programs or VC funds and business angels who, in addition to capital, contribute their knowledge, experience and knowledge of market conditions may be very helpful. In the case of VC funds and business angels, however, entrepreneurs are over their company, because the price for the capital provided is the company's shares. Additionally, it happens that VC funds introduce stringent provisions into investment contracts intended to protect their interests (control rights, financial penalties, etc.).
