Thank you!
How It All Began
In 2017 Daniel Šenkýř (CEO, Keiretsu Forum CEE) lacked information. He needed to understand local startups to help them grow and connect them with the right investors. So he founded the Startup Report initiative.
Aiming to help it evolve, we decided to map a very specific part of the Czech business environment – the startup scene. We gathered to create a complex study that would reflect the actual Czech startup ecosystem. To collect various opinions, points of view, and (most importantly) hard statistic data. To connect investors, mentors, incubators, accelerators, innovation centers, and corporations altogether with startups, and vice versa. Moreover, to engage freelancers, contractors, traditional entrepreneurs, media, and even public, so the results of our research could be truly 360° wide.
After months of intensive work, the Startup Report 2017_2018 came to life.
In May 2020 we are bringing you a brand new report, this time labeled by a subtitle "2019_2020". We are happy to say it contains some cool year-on-year comparisons and news, such as COVID-19 insights or trends within the CSR. And, for the very first time, everyone can enjoy it in English as well as in Czech.
However, it wouldn’t be possible without your attention and support of dozens of partners. All of them are mentioned below with huge gratefulness.
Research Areas
"Startup" is a buzzword, but also a solid part of the Czech economy. As everyone speaks about it, it would be cool to make terms clearer. Define what could be called a startup, and what definitely couldn't.
We aim to do this by focusing on startups from many angles. Discussing all the differences a specifics (even the marginal ones), we shape ideas and the study itself.
So what can you discover within the Startup Report?
startupists profile
definition of a startup
startup life cycle
startup financing options
partnerships
strategies
problems and opportunities
investors startup portfolio
ecosystem support
startup as an employer
Forms of Research
The ambitious goal of the Startup Report is to provide a comprehensive overview of the Czech startup and investor environment. So we had to make it worthy! This is evident in the chosen forms of data acquisition. We organized qualitatively tuned interviews, quantitative questionnaires, and in-depth discussion workshops with dozens or even hundreds of relevant volunteers.
Target Groups
Into our research, we engaged 150 startupists, dozens of investors, mentors, and startup community experts and supporters. Furthermore, we didn’t forget about innovation centers, accelerators, corporations, and traditional entrepreneurs, freelancers, or contractors. Some overviewing questions were answered by more than 300 Czechs from the general population.

Also, it is a great format of how to bring startups closer to the general public and to everyone, who is curious about the local startup environment."
