Y Soft Ventures

Y Soft Ventures (YSV) is the corporate venture capital arm of Y Soft Corporation, the Brno-based Czech enterprise print and IoT management company, founded in 2014. The fund focuses on innovative B2B hardware-plus-software startups across Central and Eastern Europe, a wide geographic mandate covering the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia, Serbia, Slovenia, the Baltics, Ukraine, Belarus, Moldova and the Western Balkans, that are seeking global impact and market validation. Its sector focus is the Internet of Things at the intersection of hardware and software, alongside cybersecurity, big data and analytics, AR/VR and robotics for industry, retail, smart cities and smart offices. Tickets typically range from EUR 100,000 to EUR 1.5 million and are written into Pre-Seed, Seed, Series A and Series B rounds, generally as a co-investor. The current portfolio includes VRgineers in enterprise VR headsets, Sensoneo in smart waste management, Dronetag in drone telemetry and ID, NenoVision in electron microscopy, GreyCortex in network security analytics, and RoboTwin in robotics and industrial automation, the firm's most recent investment in June 2025. YSV recorded its first major exit in 2024 with the sale of long-time portfolio company Sewio Networks, a real-time location-systems specialist active in over 40 countries, to US-based HID Global. Leadership transitioned on July 1, 2025, with Lukáš Konečný taking over as Managing Partner from co-founder Miloš Sochor, who continues as a Venture Partner. By backing B2B hardware-plus-software founders across CEE, Y Soft Ventures supports companies seeking global validation in IoT, cybersecurity and robotics.
