About us

Thein is an investment group founded by Tomáš Budník in the spring of 2020. In collaboration with J&T and through two qualified investor funds—J&T Thein SICAV, which covers the ICT segment, and Thein Private Equity SICAV, focused on the industrial segment—we acquire and connect promising companies for further development. Our focus is on technology companies in the fields of ICT, cybersecurity, and Industry 4.0.

Each company in our portfolio plays a key role in fulfilling our vision, which is based on cooperation and synergy between the individual businesses.

Our goal is not short-term profit; we are not a startup solely focused on closing an investment round. We look far into the future. We believe that this long-term approach is also attractive to professionals seeking a stable environment for their career growth.

ABOUT US

Thein is not a corporation, but a creative environment

Tomáš Budník and most of our colleagues grew professionally in corporations, where they encountered limitations that held them back in many ways. To be agile and adaptable to new market needs, you need autonomy and passion. We are building a group with an entrepreneurial approach, aiming to avoid the nonsense we encountered in our day-to-day corporate work.

We are fast and adaptable, which is why we strive for the flattest structure possible, minimizing resistance between decision-making and execution. The strategic leadership of the group and its individual companies is built around Tomáš Budník’s visionary approach. We aim to foster a positive work environment where anyone can feel comfortable reaching out to anyone else.

The joy of creating together, being part of new trends, and having an impact on the results—that’s all part of our DNA.

HISTORY OF THEIN

Why We Call Ourselves Thein

Dr. Bertold Thein, a prominent lawyer, contributed to the creation of the first Czechoslovak constitution.

The legacy of the Thein name can also be found on a plaque at the National Theatre. Director and actor Hanuš Thein was a leading figure in opera, contributing to its development not only at the National Theatre but beyond the borders of Bohemia.

OUR COMMITMENTS?

ESG policy

We believe that adhering to ESG principles is key to creating long-term value in today’s rapidly changing environment and is an essential part of responsible corporate behavior. In this context, we align ourselves with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Environmental Protection

In our ICT segment, we prioritize collaboration with vendors who place reducing their carbon footprint and environmental protection as top priorities. By utilizing cloud technologies, we reduce the carbon footprint compared to on-premise data centers. Apple, the main vendor for iBusiness Thein, is a global leader in sustainability standards, particularly in materials and recycling. In our Industry segment, we have optimized external transportation to make truckloads more efficient.

Social
Responsibility

Corporate culture is crucial to us, which is why we have created an Employee Culture Guide. This comprehensive document codifies the principles of mutual behavior within the group and outlines our shared values: sustainability, professionalism, innovation, and decency.

Transparency and Governance

High standards in governance, processes, and cybersecurity are gradually implemented across the group, driven by the expertise of our cybersecurity professionals. We operate our own Security Operations Center (SOC), which not only serves our clients but is also used internally to achieve the highest level of information and technology security. We are working on digitizing processes to achieve paperless administration. The governance of Thein Group is transparent, with open communication towards employees.

Values

We embrace four important values that align and synergize with our ESG policy.

Sustainability

The principles of sustainability are fundamental to us, and we consider them in our everyday work life.

Respect

We respect everyone we interact with and act with ethics and moral integrity in mind.
