Cogito Capital
Venture Capital · Warsaw, Poland
Cogito Capital Partners is a Warsaw- and New York-based growth-stage venture firm founded in 2019 by Sylwester Janik (formerly a senior partner at MCI Capital) and Martin Jasinski. It backs later- and early-growth-stage B2B technology companies with Central and Eastern European roots that are scaling globally, with a particular emphasis on US expansion, addressing the Series B+ equity gap for European scale-ups (typically €5–10M+ ARR) across enterprise software, fintech and healthtech. Cogito has raised two funds: Cogito Fund I (2019, ~€61M, anchored by the EIF and PFR) and Cogito Fund II (target €125M, first close €90M+ in 2024, with EBRD, IFC and BGK among LPs), writing cheques of €5–15M. Its portfolio spans companies including Preply (language-learning unicorn), Allica Bank (UK SME-bank unicorn), Katana (Estonian cloud ERP, Series B led by Cogito), Nomagic, Finom and Alcatraz AI. Fund I also produced a landmark exit when Applica.AI was acquired by Snowflake in 2022.
