💡 What a great few days in Prague! The Engaged Investments Conference was a brilliant way to round off Czech Start-up Week! Russell Armstrong (Jonas) and Dominik Taras (Vesta Software Group) joined founders, investors and entrepreneurs from across the region for two days of insightful conversations about growth and long-term value. Russell also took to the stage with Michal Feigler from Tack Room Capital for a session on “Beyond Exit: Building Value Through Long-Term Acquisitions” - sharing experiences and perspectives on sustainable growth and partnership-led acquisitions. A huge thank you to the Engaged team, Eliška Vámošová, DEPO Ventures & David P., J&T Ventures, for pulling together such an engaging and well-organised event. #JonasEurope #Engaged #CzechInvest #CzechStartupWeek #CEE #Innovation #Prague #Vesta #MergersAndAcquisitions
