Springtide Ventures

Springtide is a 100% subsidiary of KKCG, a private Czech multinational group founded by billionaire Karel Komárek. All investment capital comes directly from KKCG's balance sheet, meaning the firm operates as a captive venture arm rather than a traditional fund manager raising capital from outside limited partners.

Managing Director Boris Chovnik leads the investment team. He is supported by Executive Director David Marek, Non-executive Director Michal Tomanek (who oversees KKCG’s broader technology investments), and Karel Tusek, who handles technical due diligence and portfolio management.

Springtide has maintained an on-the-ground presence in Israel since 2016 through a Tel Aviv office. The firm uses both the local network built over nearly a decade and KKCG’s wider business relationships to originate investments. Its website emphasizes direct engagement with founding teams and partnership with specialist co-investors as primary sourcing channels.

Springtide makes both direct investments in startups and selective commitments to third-party specialist venture funds. The fund investments are made in sectors that leverage technology in fast-growing domains, complementing its direct portfolio of SaaS companies.

Initial checks range from $1 million to $10 million, targeting Seed through Series B rounds. The firm reserves follow-on capital for successive rounds up to Series C, which gives it the flexibility to support companies as they scale well beyond the original check size.
