As an associate based in our Prague office, I work with both the Corporate and Finance & Financial Regulation teams.

The Czech transactional and digital team advised Vendep Capital, a leading Nordic & Baltic based venture capital and private equity investment fund, on its strategic investment in Eyeball s.r.o., a Czech startup and the first provider of a AI-powered video football scouting platform that optimises the future of scouting and the development of young football talent globally.

With over a decade of experience in the field, Vendep Capital focuses on supporting and growing SaaS businesses globally through venture capital investments.

Eyeball, s.r.o. is a unique Czech-based sports tech company that has developed a revolutionary AI-powered digital solution which transforms the recruitment of young football talent around the world. Eyeball is currently active in 28 countries worldwide. The new capital will enable Eyeball to grow further on the US and Latin America markets.

The transaction was led by the Czech M&A team made up of Ivan Sagál, Partner, Ľubomír Brečka, Counsel, Karolína Rösler and Martina Waliczková, Associates. The M&A team was supported by Tech/Digital team led by Ján Kuklinca, Partner during the due diligence process. 

“The Bird & Bird team was delighted to advise Vendep Capital on this transaction. The complexity of the unique business model, underlined by the intricacies of the digital solution, created a great opportunity for our experienced transactional, data regulatory and intellectual property teams to address all potential issues and leverage our venture capital expertise,” said Ľubomír Brečka.      

Transformation through digital innovation is the essence of Bird & Bird strategy and expertise. Our team is always excited to take an active role in bringing such ventures to the next level by setting it in the right legal framework through our unique expertise,” added Ivan Sagál.
