Our notes

UPGRADED from medium. The business register extract (data updated 15.10.2026) lists every shareholder (Spoločníci) with contributions totalling EUR 140,000, all natural persons; percentages are our arithmetic from those contributions. No company or PE fund holds any stake. Residence was the gap: the Register of Public Sector Partners (RPVS, partner no. 7677, valid since 4 Jul 2024) names Paško, Trnka and Marko as current beneficial owners, each with Slovak nationality and a Bratislava address: https://rpvs.gov.sk/opendatav2/Partneri(7677)?$expand=KonecniUzivateliaVyhod. Together they hold 56.9% of contributions, so a Slovak majority is documented. Caveat: votes in an s.r.o. follow contributions unless the articles say otherwise; we have not read the articles. GLEIF agrees (NATURAL_PERSONS). Do not publish the individuals' street addresses.
