Renaissance Partners

Renaissance Partners is a Warsaw-based private equity and venture capital firm that funds private companies across multiple stages, from seed to buyout. It pursues opportunities in information technology, telecommunications, consumer staples, biotechnology, business-to-business services, medical projects, clean energy and environmental sectors. The firm focuses on Central Europe, primarily the Czech Republic, Poland and Slovakia, with occasional investments in the Baltic States. Typical commitments range from 0.1 million to 2.2 million dollars, and it prefers to back private companies with one to two shareholders, though it may invest in slightly larger groups if one to two shareholders hold the majority stake. It positions itself as a medium-term investor and avoids investments in cooperatives as well as businesses tied to strong alcohol, tobacco or gambling. Renaissance Partners seeks opportunities across multiple development stages, rather than a single phase of growth.
