Anna Paličková joins Miton as an Associate
Michala Gregorová
Miton has a new team member. Anna Paličková has joined us in the position of Associate, internally referred to as ‘padawan’. Just as Ondřej Štěpánek partners with Milan Zemánek on managing Milan’s business portfolio, so will Anna look after the companies in the portfolio of David Špinar, our CEO
Anna comes to us after more than five years at the consultancy firm Corpin, where we first met her. Corpin was the sole financial consultancy advising investors during the sale of Slevomat, which ultimately became Miton’s largest exit. Anna Paličková was part of the team led by Jiří Hák that was responsible for the Slevomat project at Corpin.
“Thanks to Corpin I got to know many people from Miton personally. Aside from the fact that it was a ery successful project, I enjoyed the human side of our collaboration. So when after nearly six years at Corpin I was considering a change, I asked Pavel Vopařil if there were any opportunities at Miton,” reflects Anna.
Coincidently, David Špinar happened to be looking for a partner to help manage his portfolio – an extra pair of hands to give him more time for the companies in his portfolio and to look for new projects. Anna joined the Miton team in October.

PangeAI emerges from stealth to democratize access to geospatial data
(press release) A startup founded by Johanna von der Leyen and Marek Miltner at Stanford is changing the way companies and public institutions work with geospatial data. Instead of needing to hire a team of GIS experts, PangeAI agents allow making complex analyses and decisions involving physical infrastructure as easy as typing a prompt. The goal is to make the physical world as searchable and understandable as the digital one.
Every company wants to become more efficient thanks to AI, and almost none succeed. Miton is investing €400k into a startup that wants to fix this.
(press release) Even though companies know very well that AI can significantly increase their efficiency, most never get further than paying for ChatGPT accounts for their employees. It’s not motivation they lack - most fail in the implementation phase. The problem lies in the approach companies take: they treat AI as if it were traditional software. And this is exactly where Bandits comes in, a new project by Jiří Štěpánek, Kryštof Mitka and Miton.
