Why over 80% of startups are not being created or fail?
Unfortunately, young people who wish to enter the world of business often struggle to establish a company. According to a study conducted by the Polish Agency for Entrepreneurship Development (PARP) (Startups in Poland, 2019), the typical Polish start-uper is over 30 years old, and only 8% of start-up founders in Poland are from the 18-24 age group. To make matters worse, nearly 80% of the start-ups created fail within the first two years of their operation!
Together ordinary people can achieve extraordinary results
More than 60% of startups' problems are rooted in an ill-matched team! It is the lack of knowledge or skills about running a business that is the biggest obstacle on the way to creating and maintaining one's own business. PARP research shows that as many as 46% of Poles choose not to start a business because of fear of failure. What's more, according to statistics, the lack of adequate training and capital hinders the successful development of startups - key to the economy and science. These are important factors holding back young people from embodying many forward-looking ideas. All this shows how necessary it is to help young entrepreneurs - the future of the economy - and create projects implemented by the Foundation.

We believe in young people!
At the Innovations Hub Foundation, we focus on the young. We believe that it is their minds that are full of extraordinary, often groundbreaking, ideas. What's more, it's young people who overwhelmingly declare that they can take risks and devote themselves to startup activity - taking a step that older people don't choose to take. We believe that by bringing together the best young innovators into interdisciplinary teams, providing them with experienced experts or mentors, as well as support from VC funds, we are able to effectively change the startup market in Poland and support their ideas in commercialization.
