COBIN Angels

COBIN Angels is Poland's largest business-angel network, founded in 2015 and based at the Cambridge Innovation Center in Warsaw, with a community of 160+ active private investors. It syndicates pre-seed and seed rounds (typical tickets of PLN 100,000–450,000 per angel), runs founder education and pitch sessions, and connects startups with experienced operators. The network is led by founder and managing partner Robert Ługowski, CEO Dominik Krawczyk and managing partner Paweł Michalski, with an investment board including Kasia Pieniądz and communications led by Tomasz Laskowicz.

COBIN organises the annual Business Angel of the Year (BAY) awards — now in its eighth edition — and co-publishes Poland's business-angel market report with the SGH Warsaw School of Economics, PKO Bank Polski and PFR Ventures. It is a member of the European Business Angels Network (EBAN) and participates in cross-border EU syndication programmes. Notable syndicate investments include Growbots, Salesbook, SkySnap, Prosoma and the pet-care startup Petsy (a €1.1M angel round in 2024).
