Startup of the Week at Tyinternety.cz

Czech start-up Spaceti began with a focus on saving people in buildings during emergencies. Over time the firm, headquartered in Prague with a branch in London, decided to go further. Its services now save people time, help them find their way, and optimize buildings, their management, and their operational costs.

“We concentrate on key customers with the potential for long-term scaling. We try to meet their needs, which is why we often start with smaller pilot projects. We’ve opened talks with some of them to extend our solutions to other buildings in their portfolios,” Spaceti CEO Max Verteletskyi told Tyinternety in an interview.

Investors are bullish on the firm — Spaceti received CZK 28 million in investments this May from Reflex Capital led by Ondřej Fryc. Radomír Čech, CEO of the Fast Forward/Y&R communication agency, also took part in the investment.
