Grow something
that will last
Seed support and investment for startups. The Seed Starter program supports startups during the Go-To-Market phase, and brings external projects under Česká spořitelna’s wing.
Why are we doing this?
We are a bank that has been in the marketplace for almost 200 years.
We believe in honest entrepreneurship and the creation of longstanding value.
We have the resources and knowledge to support you.
We want to help true entrepreneurs prosper in the long term.
Our philosophy
We’re a different kind of a seed fund. We want to help companies that are built for sustainable and lasting growth. If you just want to be rich and famous, don’t call us. But if you have a brilliant idea, a strong team and a clear plan, we’re here to help, inspire and educate you.
Welcome to the era of long-game entrepreneurs. If you can convince us why your startup will still be here in 200 years, we will invest in you.
