Miton and AI
What we do in the area everyone is talking about
Why are we here
It is a mix of FOMO and excitement for things to come. But the main reason we're active in the field is our honest desire to help the next generation of founders grow.
Whom are we looking for
If you are a technical team or founder with segment knowledge, we can complement you on the business side. We are interested in AI projects from their very early stages.
"For a highly technical team like ours, having Miton as a teammate right from the start was invaluable. They helped us with everything that a group of AI researchers needs (and usually lacks) to turn into a real company with a value-added product for businesses, a solid organization behind it, and readiness for fundraising to enable larger-scale growth."

Topics of interest to us
Our research backs our investment theses, and we are even more excited to hear yours
AI Agents Instead of Routine
AI takes over repetitive work: document processing, customer communication, business operations — acting as a true digital co-worker that integrates into existing systems and gradually handles entire processes.
Agentic E-commerce
E-commerce is one of the largest industries — and one with a massive gap between what data makes possible and what companies actually use. Are you building AI-first tools, e.g., for competitive intelligence, pricing, personalisation, or customer support? Let us know.
New Interfaces for Working with Information
The prompt as the new query: Products that give people access to data and analysis they couldn't access before — whether that's geospatial intelligence, personalised business briefings, or real-time market monitoring.
Education
AI will reshape how we teach our children and develop their skills. We're interested in products that personalise learning journeys, lower barriers to knowledge, or help teachers and mentors do their work better.
Don't fit neatly into any of these?
Our theses are grounded in our own research, but that makes us all the more curious to hear yours. If you're building something that doesn't fit here, reach out.

How we work
We are close to founders
We strive to contribute to their success from day one, even before the investment. After two decades of building companies, we know well what truly matters and what is a waste of time. We invest according to the "fewer projects, more focus" principle.
We invest our own capital
That means the ultimate 'skin in the game'. This commitment allows us to break free from the traditional funding cycles that typically demand shareholder payouts within a five-year horizon.

Tomáš Hodboď
I co-founded Heureka, Glami and Donio hands-on, and now I'm helping build the DeepScout AI project. AI is a more significant change for the world than the internet, so I'm looking for co-founders for these new opportunities.
