Central Europe is full of world-class talent and innovative ideas, but there are two main obstacles to sustainable growth in the region. On the one hand, the financing environment is not always able to provide patient, long-term capital for early-stage companies. On the other hand, company managers are often left to their own devices when it comes to acquiring the business and management skills needed in modern, international markets.
STRT Holding’s main goal is to bridge this dual challenge – capital and knowledge. It supports companies and leaders who not only have access to the resources essential for growth, but also to the up-to-date, practical knowledge they need to make their companies successful on the global stage, contributing to a more competitive and innovative future.
Our mission
To achieve this goal, STRT Holding pursues a multi-pronged, mutually reinforcing mission:
It supports the innovative startups in its portfolio on their path to growth with capital, knowledge, active mentoring, and an international network, acting as a catalyst to accelerate their development.
Its open, accessible training courses equip company managers and owners with the latest practical knowledge and leadership skills, enabling them to confidently take their companies to the next level.
For capital market investors, it creates liquid access to an extremely diverse and dynamically developing portfolio through a transparent, stock exchange-listed framework.
Our vision
STRT Holding’s vision is clear: to become the leading technology and knowledge industry holding company in the Central European region. It is building a group of companies that:
becomes a knowledge-based center that equips entrepreneurs in the region with the latest management skills, because knowledge builds the future.
is capable of financing and supporting the growth of 1,000 innovative startups.
is constantly expanding its own scope of activities by acquiring stable, profit-generating knowledge-based companies.
provides predictable, attractive, and long-term returns for its shareholders through transparent and efficient operations.
Guarantee of implementation
An ambitious strategy is only as good as the team that executes it. STRT Holding was founded not by typical financial investors, but by successful founders and company builders themselves. These are leaders who have experienced first-hand what it takes to build a global company with hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue from scratch, create a service available in more than 50 languages, and take a business through numerous successful – or instructive – exits.
In addition, through their decades of experience as angel and institutional investors, supporting more than a hundred startups, the founders have gained a deep understanding of the investor mindset, professional portfolio management, and the functioning of capital markets.
This dual background as company builders and investors guarantees that STRT Holding’s strategy is not just a plan, but a feasible, data-driven mission.
Our strategy
STRT Holding’s vision is realized through a consciously constructed strategy based on three pillars, where each business division reinforces the others.
Through its STRT Invest business unit, it operates as one of the most active angel investors in the region. Its professional investment engine builds a diversified portfolio of startups with high growth potential, which is the most dynamic component of the holding’s value.
STRT Academy and KÜRT Academy by STRT are Hungary’s leading corporate and open training centers. These mature, profit-generating companies ensure the holding company’s stable financial background and cash flow, while creating valuable synergies with the investment branch (expert network, quality deal flow).
The holding structure has been deliberately designed to enable the acquisition of additional well-performing domestic and international companies that fit the profile (M&A). This strategy not only strengthens existing business lines, but also expands the portfolio with new value-creating elements, further increasing shareholder value.
STRT Holding offers investors a unique platform to participate in the region’s technological and knowledge-based development and build the future together.
