The development of a nanotechnology startup requires taking effective action on many fronts: R&D activities, cooperation with international patent office in the field of intellectual property protection, fundraising, establishment of contacts with scientific and industry partners at home and abroad. In all these areas we can count on the great support and active involvement of the Leonarto team. The way the Leonarto team works, perfectly reflects the meaning of the phrase “smart money”.

The transition from idea to product (Pregnabit) required a combination of competences and resources from many areas. Getting to the stage where we are today would not be possible without the professional and relational support of the Leonarto team.

Due to the achievements to date in supporting the development of early-stage technology companies in the field of medical solutions, the Leonarto fund was the natural choice for Genomtec. Thanks to the experienced Leonarto team, Genomtec was able to significantly accelerate the development of its technology, and also obtained valuable support in the area of ​​intellectual property protection and development of the Company’s market strategy.

Leonarto support allows us to look far into the future, refine the strategy and answer difficult questions. In addition to the financial background, we gained a partner who willingly shares his knowledge, experience and business know-how. The vision of a global company has become a plan. Together with Leonarto, we started to implement it.

Krzysztof Sobczak CO-FOUNDER and CEO at EMPLOCITY

Every company at an early stage of development struggles with the basic paradox about how to survive the coming months, and at the same time develop the organization towards the strategic goals. Leonarto managers understand these challenges perfectly, they approach business realistically and ambitiously. They see the current problems that we face every day and support us in creating long-term priorities. What we particularly value in cooperation with Leonarto is directness and honesty. However, in business there is nothing for free: Leonarto gives a lot, but also demands a lot.
