Almost every successful startup that is created in the Czech Republic ends up in another jurisdiction. Most often, ownership is transferred to a holding company in the USA, the Netherlands or elsewhere. In the startup community, this is called a “flip of ownership” or “flip-up” for short.

I didn’t get it before either. I had an investor, a co-shareholder, a partner in my company. I put everything I had to the company. All my time, all my money. I pledged my house, gave up my salary.

It is said that creativity, innovation and entrepreneurship are the engines of economic development and the future prosperity of any country depends on them. In all neighboring countries, this seems to be the case, but not here.
