👁️🗨️ Investor’s perspective:
“Developer productivity is now a critical issue for almost every company. After the wave of AI adoption, it’s time to distinguish what truly creates value from what companies spend on unnecessarily. We were also impressed by the founder’s ambition and his understanding that building a global company requires being personally present in the United States. Combining deep technical expertise with a clear vision for international growth is, in our view, a key prerequisite for success,” says Petr Šmíd, General Partner at Rockaway Ventures.
💡 It will be spent on: Product development, scaling AI technology, and global expansion.
