Our portfolio
Purple technology is a technology provider to global forex brokers. More than USD 1.2 billion is traded daily through its technology. We have been in this company since its inception and still hold a significant stake.
We joined Aukro after its continuous and 7-year-long decline in revenues. It was a period of its most critical technological transformation. Our entry simplified the fragmented ownership structure, took over management of the business, set a new vision and strategy, kick-started its growth and brought in a suitable investor to further accelerate growth.
Luigi`s Box is an expert in increasing e-commerce conversions with its intelligent AI search engine. Since we joined in 2018, the company's monthly sales have grown 60-fold.
FérMakléři.cz is a comparison engine for real estate brokers, through which nearly €50 million worth of transactions are made annually. We founded the company in 2017, still actively run it and are the majority owners.
Product Fruits is an onboarding platform that any website can deploy to quickly and easily orient visitors to their site through a set of ancillary tools, thereby rapidly increasing site conversion. Product Fruits operates all over the world, especially in the USA, Brazil, Germany, Taiwan, Singapore, Australia or Mexico.
SOLD: We were one of the first investors in Liftago at a very early stage, giving the company the space to execute on its strong vision. In 2018, we successfully sold our minority stake.

Our team
Matěj Boruta, founding partner
Investing is a very intriguing affair for me, where our goal is to select a promising project, an ambitious team with a passion for their cause, and structure the transaction in such a way that it becomes a mutual victory for both the founders and us.
Václav Liška, founding partner
For more than 15 years, I have been managing e-commerce companies in the CEE region. I am interested in transactional platforms in the B2C and B2B sectors. I was involved in the creation of companies such as Aukro and MerXu.
Lumír Kunz, founding partner
I enjoy strong visions and finding ways to achieve them. I enjoy finding solutions that make business operations more efficient. And I enjoy doing this with enthusiastic people who have a drive to succeed, want to make decisions based on numbers, yet never lose their sense for making heart-driven decisions.
Jan Boruta, founding partner
I enjoy creating visions and strategies for new projects. And I also enjoy rolling up my sleeves to work towards those visions. My latest project is FérMakléři.cz, a platform that mediates inquiries from sellers to selected top-notch agents from both large and small real estate agencies across the Czech Republic. Through FérMakléři.cz, aprox. 50 mil. EUR worth of properties are sold each year. At the moment, I am also overseeing the property investments for our group.
About LEVERAGE
We are a group of friends who have been doing business and investing together for more than 10 years. Over this period, we managed to build a value exceeding EUR 68 million from our original investment of several tens of thousands of euros which we borrowed from our families.
On our journey, we were involved in the creation of companies such as Aukro, Liftago, Purple Technology and experienced successes and failures along with them. This gave us the opportunity to learn a lot and gain the necessary experience to accelerate the growth of both startups in the phase of their first revenues, and companies with turnovers of millions of EUR.
We simply enjoy the online world. Now, we are ready to get involved in other ambitious companies. Through our know-how and capital, we can help you maximize the potential of your company, ideally on an international level.
We believe that people and their values are the basis of everything. Therefore, we enjoy working with ambitious founders who recognize values such as fairness, goal-orientation, hard work, and humility. Don't hesitate to contact us, we'd love to chat with you.
