Investment thesis
Czech Founders VC backs exceptional early-stage founders based in Central and Eastern Europe who are pursuing globally scalable businesses. It writes pre-seed tickets of roughly EUR 50-350k, prioritizing strong, committed teams with a clear go-to-market strategy and a capable executive team. The firm emphasizes founder-friendly terms, taking no more than 15% equity and avoiding multiple liquidation preferences, and promises quick decisions after 2-3 meetings with honest feedback. Beyond capital, it offers access to a community of 45+ founder-turned-mentors and investors along with the broader Czech Founders NGO network of meetups, education, mastermind groups and networking.
