The aim of Nagrody PSIK is to recognize private equity/venture capital funds managers, advisors, banks and law firms for their achievements on the Polish PE/VC market and venture philanthropy initiatives.

From its first edition in 2018, Nagrody PSIK promote the highest professional standards in the PE/VC industry and PE/VC investors’ contribution to the growth of Polish companies.

Candidates for the awards will be proposed by PSIK members. A panel of independent judges will select finalists, and the winners will be chosen by the PSIK community in an online popular vote.

Nagrody PSIK are organized by the Polish Private Equity and Venture Capital Association (PSIK). Since 2002 PSIK has been representing the interests of the Polish PE/VC community and supporting its development.
