Autofixer, a Polish online shop for car parts, has borrowed €3M from Orbit Capital and plans to start selling in Czechia within a month. The money comes as venture debt, a loan for fast-growing startups that brings in cash without the owners giving up shares. The loan will pay for expansion abroad, work on the platform and a bigger team.
Orbit Capital is a Czech and Polish venture debt fund. In July the firm held a second close of its Growth Debt Fund II at €107M, above its €100M target, with the European Investment Fund among its backers. The fund lends between €3M and €15M to technology companies that are already growing quickly. Past borrowers include Rohlik, the Czech online grocer.
Wiktor Namysł, a general partner at Orbit Capital, said Autofixer’s fast growth and strong business figures showed both that the product fits its market and that the business model works. At this stage, he added, venture debt is “a natural tool” to support further growth.
Close To One Million Orders
The company handled more than 840,000 orders in the first ten months of 2026 and aims to reach one million by the end of the year. Revenue so far this year stands at PLN 180M, in Polish zloty, and Autofixer expects about PLN 230M for the full year. The company says its EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), a common measure of operating profit, has been positive every month since July.
Montis Capital, a Polish venture investor, backed Autofixer in 2023 and again in 2025. Namysł said venture debt lets a company grow without diluting its existing shareholders.
Across 34 European countries, vehicle parts and components worth €154B were sold in 2023, not counting labour, according to a report by consultancy Roland Berger and FIGIEFA, the federation representing independent car parts distributors in Europe. Consulting firm BCG expects the online share of parts bought by individual drivers in Europe to rise from about 30% in 2025 to about 70% by 2035.
Matching The Right Part To The Car
Autofixer’s platform links vehicle data with parts catalogues, supplier offers and records of which parts have fitted which cars in the past, then cleans up part numbers and descriptions so drivers can find a part that fits.
“We combine information about the car and available parts so the driver can choose the right product,” said chief executive Szymon Jezierski. He also said the company wants to “help drivers make an informed choice before placing an order”. Automation and artificial intelligence (AI) help Autofixer analyse the data and prepare product listings.
Autofixer describes its model as asset-light. Parts distributors supply the products and keep the stock, while Autofixer connects their catalogues to the platform and handles marketing, customer service and sales in each country.
From Fashion Brands To Car Parts
Autofixer’s team previously created the fashion brands Renee and born2be, later combined into AZA Group, a business that at its peak brought in about PLN 500M a year.
After Czechia, Autofixer plans more European markets, along with its own e-commerce websites, AI tools to help drivers choose parts, and an app that supports drivers in everyday use of their cars.
The loan gives Autofixer money to grow without a new equity round, in a year when its orders are heading for one million.
