Denisa Materová at the Money Maker conference

Other guests also reminisced about their entrepreneurial beginnings and their roots in the Ostrava region.
- Jan Hasík from Purposia Group earned applause when he explained why he kept his business in North Moravia. "The ties between entrepreneurs are closer here than in Prague, it is easier to establish cooperation. Ostrava is a great place to live and do business. It's a good place to live."
- Jan Světlík, thanks to whom the cultural-industrial area of Dolní Vítkovice has come to life, praised the huge improvement in air quality he has seen while living in Ostrava.
Jakub Havrlant, founder of the investment group Rockaway Capital, also summed up his relationship with the region he comes from. "The price-performance ratio of living in Ostrava is fine. There is a small community here and still relative safety, which is nice." - "I've had the same friends for thirty years. Maybe one day I'll buy something they enjoy. Maybe I'll own a Baník. When Vasek stops enjoying it and I'm a big boy, which I'm not yet," said Ondrej Novotny, co-owner of the Oktagon MMA organization, at the end of the evening.
The conference, organized by CzechCrunch for the first time in Ostrava, was held in the renovated Textilia Ostravica Palace.
