Jakub Havrlant always believed that an entrepreneur should have a dream, define a relevant goal, then find the means to reach it.

Rockaway Capital actively participates in the management of these companies, which span across areas such as blockchain, venture capital, e-commerce, e-travel and media, offering expert guidance and becoming an integral part and driving force of their respective teams.
Jakub also contributes to the development of promising digital startups through the Rockaway Ventures Fund, which invests in projects with a positive impact on society and the environment.
