Mikołaj Konior and Jakub Złocki first met while studying at the Warsaw School of Economics. After building complementary expertise across strategic consulting, investment funds, and public administration, they joined forces to launch Vistula Horizon Partners with the aim of acquiring and growing a Polish SME, bringing a fresh perspective and renewed energy to the business.
They are backed by a distinguished group of investors, including Istria Capital, TTCER, Relay Investments, Cerralvo Capital, Ambit Partners, Innesto Partners, Lineage, Mazal Capital, Paweł Malon & Marek Jakubów (SF Stability Capital), Paweł Robaczewski, Gernot Eisinger, Thomas Buehler, Jan-Henning Woitschätzke, Till Bossert, among others.
Mikołaj brings over 10 years of experience in developing growth strategies and driving value creation for more than 20 companies across sectors such as manufacturing, industrials, business services, healthcare, retail, and technology. Following internships at McKinsey, Montagu, and Goldman Sachs, he worked as an analyst at McKinsey and later at Innova Capital before joining CVC Capital Partners.
Jakub has led projects across the medical, banking, and energy sectors. He began his career in investment banking at Bastion Group before joining EY. He later served as a research assistant at IGIER, worked as an economist at the European Investment Bank, and spent two years at the Prime Minister’s Office. Most recently, he was a consultant at BCG.
They are looking for profitable Polish companies with a proven business model, a strong market position, and at least five years of operating history. Ideal targets generate recurring revenues, serve a stable customer base, and offer clear potential for further growth. We focus on businesses with annual revenues between PLN 15 million and PLN 150 million and operating profits ranging from PLN 4 million to PLN 25 million. Attractive sectors include those characterized by growing demand, fragmented competitive landscapes, high entry barriers, low technological risk, and resilience to economic downturns.
