Prosperus Invest
Prosperus Invest was founded in 2010 in Zagreb as a growth equity and private equity fund manager focused on expansion-stage SMEs across Croatia and the broader Adriatic region. Led by Joško Miliša and Partner Luka Orešković, the firm has grown assets under management approximately 4× to around €200 million. Its flagship Prosperus Growth fund (first close ~€50 million, backed by EIF and HBOR under the CROGIP program) commits at least 75% to Croatian SMEs in IT, hospitality, renewables, healthcare, and publishing, with notable investments including IntechOpen (scientific open-access publishing, Rijeka) and Neos (data analytics and cloud IT services).
Pythagora
Pythagora is a Zagreb-founded developer-AI startup building an autonomous software engineer that goes beyond chat-style copilots: the user describes a product in plain English, and Pythagora's agent scaffolds the project, generates code iteratively, writes and runs tests, debugs itself against the test output, and keeps the human in the loop through structured checkpoints rather than single-prompt hallucinations. The team open-sourced an earlier version of the agent (GPT Pilot) which passed 40,000 stars on GitHub and became one of the most-starred AI coding projects in Europe, and they have since commercialized the tooling for teams that want reproducible full-app generation rather than line-by-line completion. Pythagora raised seed funding from Inovo Venture Partners among others, and is part of the CEE wave of AI-native developer-tools startups competing with Cursor, Devin, and Replit Agent from a Central European base.
