   #74: TECH HAPPY HOURS 2026: FireSide Chat with Richard Valtr from the most valuable Czech startup Mews

   Richard Valtr is an entrepreneur and a recovering hotelier. Richard grew up as the son of a programmer and a hotel developer and was educated at UCL in London. Upon his return to his native Czech Republic, he became responsible for a number of property developments, culminating in the creation of the Emblem Hotel. The idea for Mews originated from his time spent leading the concept development, design, procurement, and project management of the Prague-based luxury hotel, where he first thought of the idea for a system that would seamlessly remove the friction at the front desk and automate the back office entirely. Hosted by Barbora Wermölder.
