On October 15, 2025, the fourth Venture Builders Meetup took place at Microsoft’s offices in Prague. This edition once again proved that when startup energy meets corporate know-how and real business opportunities, meaningful partnerships are born.

Program and Key Speakers

The evening kicked off with opening remarks from COPS Solutions and Microsoft, highlighting the importance of collaboration between the innovation ecosystem and a global tech leader.
Four speakers then took the stage, each bringing a practical perspective on scaling, security, and the role of AI in modern ventures:

• Filip Dvořák, CEO of Filuta AI – “From gaming roots to enterprise innovation” – shared how gaming expertise can evolve into enterprise-level AI innovation.
• Ondřej Dvořák, CEO of COPS Solutions – “Scaling Ventures Through the Power of SaaS” – discussed why the SaaS model is key for scalable, efficient venture growth.
• Filip Řehořík, Sr. Partner Development Manager at Microsoft Central Europe – “Grow Your Business With Microsoft” – presented Microsoft’s tools, resources, and programs that help startups accelerate their development.
• Jan Pilař, Sr. Cybersecurity Technical Specialist at Microsoft Czech Republic & Slovakia – “Why Security Matters?” – emphasized cybersecurity as a strategic priority for every founder.

Business Speed Matching: Networking That Works

A highlight of the evening was the Business Speed Matching — a dynamic networking format featuring short, pre-arranged 1:1 meetings between founders, investors, mentors, and corporate representatives.
Participants filled in their profiles ahead of time, allowing organizers to match them based on interests and needs. The result? Dozens of valuable connections and several follow-up meetings arranged on the spot.

Networking and Wrap-Up

After the official program, guests stayed for informal networking over drinks — a relaxed atmosphere where conversations naturally turned into new opportunities and collaborations.

Key Takeaways

• Record-breaking attendance – over 60 participants
