Let's talk!
Hardware and Software

Global Potential
Your solution is applicable in the global market and can drive value for different businesses in different areas of the world.
Market Validation
You can demonstrate market acceptance of your solution, better yet, have achieved some revenue.
Internet of Things
The Internet of Things (IoT) represents the focal point of our investment strategy. We believe combining hardware and software and leveraging the value of devices connected through various networks will fundamentally change how we live, work, and run businesses.
Cyber Security
Our focus on Cyber Security is deeply linked to IoT development. We seek complex solutions that respond to current virtual threats as well as emerging challenges from the increasing penetration of IoT networks and devices.
Big Data & Analytics
As the advancement of new technologies leads to inconceivable amounts of data, we see enormous challenges—and opportunities—in data. Solutions that help businesses efficiently process their data and fully leverage its value will likely pique our interest.

Augmented & Virtual Reality
In augmented and virtual reality (AR and VR), we are keen on B2B-oriented solutions that take a different angle on challenges brought by Smart Office, Smart Factory, or Retail 2.0 trends. Since B2C doesn't float our boat, we are not looking for consumer-facing AR/VR applications.

Creating the “next big thing” is a complex enough task, so let’s not get distracted by legal issues. With the help of Y Soft's legal department, you will have all the bases covered.
The Employee Equity Handbook was developed by the Y Soft Ventures team as a guide for startup entrepreneurs about employee shares in the Czech Republic.
It answers questions such as, "Why should I start an employee equity program? How should it be implemented? How can I talk about it with my colleagues?" While it was first created for the startups within our portfolio, we're making it available to anyone looking for an effective tool to attract, retain, and motivate their employees.
The handbook is intended for Czech readers, as it maps the Czech legal and tax frameworks. Therefore, it is available only in the Czech language.
You can download the 2nd edition of the handbook here. It reflects the changes in tax legislation effective from 2024 and incorporates experience gained since the first version was published.
