In less than a year, the platform has processed events worth over €600,000 and attracted more than 300 companies. Its clients include major international firms such as Allianz and Red Bull. Lemondia replaces the lengthy request-for-proposal process and offers instant venue overviews, transparent offers and the ability to book directly.
“Our mission is to make planning corporate events fast and simple,” says Aleš Mlátilík, CEO and founder of Lemondia. “Today, companies spend dozens of hours searching for venues and comparing offers. We bring everything into one place, fully automated and as a self-service platform. We see that the market is ready for a smarter solution. And we believe that the way companies around the world organize their events is changing – and Lemondia is at the heart of that change.”
The startup was founded by Aleš Mlátilík, Mikoláš Belec and Erik Richnák. Their backgrounds combine experience from marketplace platforms, technology, and hospitality and events operations. The platform is fully automated, connecting corporate event organizers with venues without the need for manual negotiations.
The newly raised funds will primarily be used to accelerate customer acquisition, strengthen venue supply, and prepare for global expansion. Lemondia is also building out its founding team and is currently looking to hire its first marketer.
“Event planning remains one of the most inefficient corporate processes,” says Ivan Kristeľ, Managing Partner of Czech Founders Ventures. “We see clear evidence that Lemondia’s model can transform how companies worldwide plan and book their events. At the same time, we recognize the strength of the founding team, which combines expertise from marketplace platforms, technology, and hospitality. Through the Sherpa program, we saw firsthand their ability to scale this business and build a global platform,” Kristeľ concludes.
