Act Beyond
AKIPIA is an investment group founded by Michal Strnad together with two partners, Tomáš Brzobohatý and Marek Šmrha.
With a permanent capital base, we invest with discipline, conviction and a long-term perspective. Patience and tenacity define the way we seek out opportunities.
Act Beyond is part of who we are. We care about the moment beyond the immediate opportunity or a successful transaction – about what lies beyond what matters today.
We invest independently and with like-minded investors across all sectors except defence.
