Václav Muchna: Business with Purpose

30. April 2026

Article Inspiration Business partners

Entrepreneurs are measured by numbers – profitability, revenue, market share. But what about the environment they operate in? The community, the democracy, the society around them? These questions rarely come up in ordinary business conversations. And when they do, they tend to be pushed aside as something to think about later.

Our Vision

Václav Muchna, co-founder of Y Soft, believes that business cannot be separated from the environment in which it operates. The goal of Podnikání s přesahem – Business with Purpose – is to open up this idea and show that caring about the world around us is not charity. It is simply part of doing business well.

How it works

Business with Purpose is a club of entrepreneurs who meet regularly to share what they do for the world they operate in. Conversations cover philanthropy – why they got into it, what it brings to them, how to measure it – as well as how to develop the community around them, and the idea that democracy is not something that happens to us, but something we actively shape.

Who is it for?

For entrepreneurs who recognise that their company exists in a broader context – and who want to hear how others think about it. Also for those just starting to explore the topic of philanthropy and looking for their first points of reference.

What has worked so far?

The club is up and running. Václav Muchna co-founded it recently and is actively developing it – alongside his ongoing role at Y Soft, where he remains a hands-on co-founder to this day.

If you are curious about how other entrepreneurs think about their wider role – whether you are already active in philanthropy or just beginning to consider it – join one of their meetings. Register at podnikanispresahem.cz.
