We are super excited to announce the acquisition of PEKAT VISION, our first ever invested portfolio company, by Datalogic, a leader in industrial automation, traded on the Milan stock exchange, for approximately 400 million Kc. 

We have invested in PEKAT at a very early stage and had great pleasure seeing it exiting in less than three years. 

What do they do? Bringing the power of AI to the production line, Pekat Vision’s algorithms learn over time what products should look like. When a product has an anomaly, it immediately detects the defect. This eliminates the labor intensive and error prone systems used today that require humans to spot imperfections in physical products.

We are extremely proud of Petr and the team!
