Who builds Point FM.

Experience from both sides: investor and operator.

Founder
Marek Kříž

Marek Kříž — investor and operator.

I co-founded the digital agency Firemedia, later Devx, in 2013 — working mainly for banks and insurers across CEE, with a net margin around 30 %. Sold in 2020. Alongside it I founded Zaloto in 2018, a mortgage fintech built without external capital; at the time of sale it processed roughly 2 % of Czech mortgages. Sold in 2022.

In 2023 I invested in Able and Verzuz. A year later I joined the founders of Investown to lead growth — in a year we took assets under management from CZK 2bn to CZK 6bn; product, sales, and marketing at once. I handed over operations in 2025 and still hold the stake. Able and Verzuz I sold in 2026: a closed cycle at 18.26 % IRR p.a.

I've run Point FM since 2017. Today I use it to build and operate AI businesses in regulated industries, and to invest in them — with no fixed horizon. Alongside that I follow public markets daily, which gives a different read on cycles and valuations than a purely private world.

What the people we work with say.

Alan Pock
CEO, Investown
Marek is a strong strategist who can also be extremely effective in the day-to-day running of a company. His sense for efficiency and order helped us grow from CZK 2bn to CZK 6bn in assets under management within a single year.
Martin Šetek
CEO, Resimo
There are moments in a company when you need a partner who can look at the situation with distance and decide rationally, while understanding what everyone involved needs — and holding on to high moral integrity. That's exactly where Marek excels, and in my next company I'd want him again as a partner or investor.
Ota Čermák
ex-Senior Manager, Ernst & Young
We've worked together on several projects and I always knew I could rely on his professional approach and on strategies built on data and computational models, not assumptions. On growth and marketing specifically, I'd turn to him any time.
Václav Faraga
CEO, Able
Marek is the kind of investor you want on your side. He listens, asks the right questions, and always looks for a path that makes sense. He's also a marketing genius who built us, within a few months, foundations we had wrestled with for ten years.
