This year's study - Polish Startups 2020 was largely devoted to the situation caused by the Sars-COV-2 coronavirus pandemic. The pandemic has caused a real rollercoaster on the world markets. This situation also applies to Poland. Some experienced a significant economic slowdown, others doubled or tripled the revenue from their services or products. The study aims to diagnose how Polish startups found themselves in this situation, how the pandemic affected their business, and what possibilities of financial support offered by the state turned out to be the best. The goal is also to forecast the situation for the coming months.

September and October brought record numbers of coronavirus infections, and the society and the economy have been facing limitations in normal functioning for the eighth month. During this period, the concept of digitization took on a new meaning, not only determining the level and direction of our aspirations, but also being the only path enabling functioning for many areas of life. This report is an attempt to summarize the entire period of fighting the pandemic, in which many trends and phenomena observed earlier were strengthened, and others were negatively verified. This is obviously a mid-term rather than a final analysis, and at this stage almost everything is still subject to change in the economy and society fighting the pandemic.
