In March 2019, a group of startup founders gathered at a Restaurant in Karlin, dubbed "the Silicon Valley of Czechia." They discussed business challenges and shared experiences. More dinners followed throughout the year and beyond, quickly growing in size. By 2021, this community formalized into Czech Founders, a non-profit organization. As the team expanded, so did their activities, including events, surveys, and initiatives tailored to founders' feedback. Community-driven values continue to guide Czech Founders today.
