Czech Startup Market Sees Investor Outflow as Slow Exits and Weak Investment Environment Stall Growt
The Czech startup ecosystem is approaching a critical threshold. According to the latest investor survey conducted by investment firm DEPO Ventures in cooperation with the Czech Startup Association and its partners, the share of first-time investors has declined significantly, while one third of existing investors plan to scale back or halt their investment activity this year. Investors cite low market liquidity, a shortage of high-quality startup opportunities, and weak investment infrastructure as the main barriers. At the same time, data and insights from the sixth edition of the survey point to possible solutions: better access to information, greater sharing of experience and deal flow, and systemic support in the form of tax incentives.

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.
