Prague Appraisal Institute
Welcome to the website of the Prague Appraisal Institute, a non-profit organization! We specialize in education in the field of business valuation, business assets valuation, and business crises.
Activities
Startup evaluation within the Technological Incubation project
As part of the association, we participate in the evaluation of applications for support of AI startups within the Technological Incubation project. Our president, Patrik Budský, has been involved in the project evaluation from the very beginning. He was originally nominated to the evaluation committees by the Government Office of the Czech Republic, where he previously worked. After a positive experience with his work and his departure from the Government Office, he was approached by the CzechInvest agency to see if he would like to continue his work in the evaluation committee. He accepted the offer and has been working on the committees for Prague Appraisal Institute since the third call for proposals.
Teaching the Company Crisis course at CTU in Prague
As part of the ATHENS Programme, we participate in teaching an intensive Company Crisis course designed for international students from leading European technical universities, which is taught at CTU in Prague. From the autumn of 2024, the course will be taught as part of Blended Intensive Programmes under Erasmus+.
Operating the OCEPO.cz website
OCEPO.cz is a website dedicated to business valuation. Originally, it contained processed topics for the state final exam in business valuation for students of the Faculty of Finance and Accounting at the University of Economics in Prague. Later, we added additional data sources that students could use in their seminars and theses. The OCEPO.cz website was created in 2021 and we regularly record around 20,000 page views per year.
About us
The Prague Appraisal Institute, a non-profit organization, was founded in February 2021 by Patrik Budský, Marek Sehnal, and Lukáš Valenta. Initially, we wanted to create a legal entity that would oversee our activities related to the operation of the OCEPO.cz website, which is dedicated to business valuation. However, the association's activities later expanded beyond the area of business valuation. Members of the association began to participate in teaching the successful Company Crisis course as part of the Athens project, which has been attended by dozens of international students, especially from countries such as France, Portugal, Italy, and Belgium. After a positive experience with our members, we were also approached by the CzechInvest agency to see if we could help them evaluate startups as part of the Technological Incubation project.
