How to build a viable startup

We talked about how the Czech startup ecosystem is maturing, what options startup founders have today – from specialized investors, through a community of experienced entrepreneurs, to the annual influx of tech-educated people. And what remains the key factor for success? The ability to talk to customers, adapt, and maintain an internal “hunger”.
Vašek describes how Czech Founders work with a small number of selected teams through several months of accelerator support, why it’s important to understand the market before designing a solution, and what pitfalls startups face when setting valuation, creating an investor pitch deck, or scaling B2C products.

If you’re interested in what makes a startup viable in 2025, the role communities around founders play, and why sometimes being healthily angry is more important than being perfectly prepared – tune into this episode.
