Mihael Skoda
Founder first. Then seller. Now buyer.
Mihael founded a marketing agency in Slovenia while he was still at school, grew it, and sold it to a private equity buyer. One client accounted for most of its revenue, and that made the exit far harder than it should have been. He learned customer concentration from the inside, as the seller, which is why it is the first thing he tests for now.
He then spent about a year and a half advising a consumer brand through a growth ceiling, including the outside raise that finally broke it, until its founder sold. Since then he has closed high-ticket offers for founder-led businesses, speaking daily with owners and executives about decisions they were nervous to make, and rebuilding one of those companies’ acquisition process while he was there.
Skoda Capital is his first acquisition vehicle. He is building it to hold companies for decades rather than to raise a second fund in three years. An investor who backs him now is backing an operator early enough to compound their capital, and his own, across decades and into the next generation.
