Survey of Startup Investors in the Czech Republic
Czech investors were active again in 2024, willing to commit venture capital to startups. However, nearly two-thirds (62.2%) of them flagged the lack of quality startups as the biggest challenge last year, marking an almost 20% increase compared to 2023. These findings come from a survey conducted by the investment group DEPO Ventures.
The report analyzes investment trends, preferences, key challenges, and more, offering a comprehensive view of the Czech venture capital ecosystem. The main partners of the survey, which involved 156 respondents, are the startup support agency Czechinvest and the law firm Novalia.
Key takeaways:
- AI Leads as the Most Sought-After Technology, with a Rising Focus on Defense
- Interest in Exclusively Czech Startups Continues to Decline
- Startup Investments Deliver Stronger Returns Than Other Asset Classes
- Investor Sentiment for 2025 Remains Optimistic
- High Capital Demands and Risk Continue to Deter Potential Investors
