GGEF I has completed the acquisition of a majority stake in iFORO Group, s.r.o. (Popt\u00e1vej.cz). Founded in 2014 by Jakub Sklen\u00e1\u0159 and invested in by Pale Fire Capital in 2016, Popt\u00e1vej.cz has built Popt\u00e1vej.cz into one of the fastest-growing platforms of its kind. Today, the company actively connects a robust base of verified suppliers with consumers and businesses across many industries, from construction to home services.<\/h4>\n

GGEF I , together with the current owners, will actively support the company’s development and transformation activities. “Popt\u00e1vej.cz has grown impressively in recent years, but it still has significant potential for dynamic growth in the coming years. We look forward to working with Jakub and his team to develop and seek further growth opportunities,” said Radim Jasek, a partner at the fund, commenting on the transaction.<\/p>\n

“Over the past ten years, Jakub Sklen\u00e1\u0159, his team, and I have invested heavily in technology, branding, and community. Popt\u00e1vej.cz has grown at double-digit rates and has now reached a point where it has a critical mass of requesters and suppliers and a high level of satisfaction among both groups of users. Now is the right time to hand over the project to a partner who is ready to take the service to the next level. Following the sale of TeamIT and Semantic Visions, this is another step that allows us at PFC to focus more on the growth of our companies with a global community of clients,” commented Pale Fire Capital partner David Hol\u00fd.<\/p>\n

“Our company is entering a new phase, and I look forward to continuing to play an active role at its helm. I am confident that the cooperation with GGEF I will significantly strengthen our product development capabilities and enable us to fulfill our long-term vision faster. I believe that this partnership will bring new opportunities and further strengthen our market position,” says Jakub Sklen\u00e1\u0159, founder and CEO of Popt\u00e1vej.cz.<\/p>\n
