About this event
The best founder conversations usually happen before the workday properly starts: over coffee, with people who understand the pressure of building something real. This breakfast in Prague brings that energy into the room with a focused morning gathering for female founders, operators, and supporters of the Czech startup ecosystem who want sharper insight, stronger connections, and an honest conversation about where deep-tech is headed next. With SCALE'HER, Nina Formánek Jaganjacová, and Addsen at the center of the discussion, this is designed to be more than a standard networking meetup. Expect a grounded, direct exchange about company-building, the realities behind growth, and the future opportunities emerging in Czech deep-tech. About the Event This event is an in-person breakfast meetup in Prague built around candid conversation and meaningful community. The format brings together the warmth and accessibility of a morning networking gathering with the substance of a real talk session that speaks directly to founders navigating growth, decision-making, and the complexity of building in ambitious sectors. At its core, the event connects two important themes: female founder support and the future of Czech deep-tech. That means the conversation is likely to sit at the intersection of leadership, scaling, fundraising readiness, ecosystem-building, product ambition, and what it actually takes to grow a company in a technical or innovation-driven environment. Rather than positioning entrepreneurship as polished and linear, this breakfast is framed around real talk. That matters. Founders and early-stage leaders rarely need more generic advice; they need clearer perspective, useful pattern recognition, and access to people who have seen how momentum is built in practice. Because it is hosted as a community-oriented meetup, the atmosphere should feel approachable while still being high-signal. You can come ready to listen, ask better questions, and leave with a more informed sense of how others in the Czech ecosystem are thinking about scale. What to Expect The morning will likely balance conversation, insight, and networking in a way that works well before the rest of the day takes over. Instead of a crowded evening event where attention is scattered, the breakfast setting creates space for focused discussion and more intentional introductions. You can expect the event to center around a few key elements: A breakfast meetup format that makes it easy to connect naturally with other attendees A real talk conversation featuring Nina Formánek Jaganjacová, with substance over performance Discussion of Czech deep-tech and the opportunities and challenges shaping the space Networking with founders, builders, and community members who care about startups, technology, and growth A host-led community environment that supports participation rather than passive attendance The most valuable moments at events like this often come from the combination of structured and unstructured time. One part of the morning may give you a new lens on scaling; another may come from a short conversation with someone facing a similar hiring, product, or fundraising question. If you are someone who gets the most out of events when there is both content and chemistry, this format makes sense. You are not choosing between hearing a point of view and meeting peers; you are there to do both in a setting that is small enough to feel human and focused enough to feel worthwhile. Why Attend If you are building a company, advising one, or operating inside the startup ecosystem, context matters. This breakfast offers a chance to hear how people close to the work are thinking about growth, resilience, and the practical realities of building ambitious companies in the Czech market. For female founders especially, events like this can create a more relevant and energizing room. You are more likely to meet people who understand the specific dynamics of leadership, credibility, access, and scale that often shape the founder journey differently. That does not mean the conversation is niche; it means it is better targeted and more useful. Here is the value you can expect to take away: Sharper perspective on what “scaling” actually looks like beyond headline narratives A clearer read on Czech deep-tech and why the space deserves attention now More relevant connections than you typically get from broad, unfocused networking events Honest founder insight that can help you benchmark your own next steps Fresh momentum from spending time with people who are actively building and thinking seriously about growth There is also value in the timing and format itself. A breakfast event attracts people who are intentional. They chose to show up early because the conversation matters. That often leads to better discussions, stronger follow-up, and a room that is more engaged from the start. Practical Details This event takes place in person in Hlavní město Praha, Czechia on Wednesday, May 13 at 8:30 AM GMT+2. It is a morning gathering, so plan for a punctual start and come ready to settle in quickly, meet people early, and make the most of the breakfast format. Because this is an in-person community event, it is worth arriving with a clear sense of what you want from the room. You may want to meet other founders, learn more about the Czech deep-tech landscape, exchange operator insights, or simply reconnect with the local startup community in a more focused setting. A few smart ways to prepare: Arrive on time so you do not miss early introductions or the opening conversation Bring a concise intro about what you are building or working on Come with 2-3 thoughtful questions if you want to get more from the discussion Be ready to follow up with people you genuinely connect with afterward If you value intelligent founder conversation, targeted community, and a more honest look at what scaling in tech can really involve, this breakfast is a strong use of your morning.
