NejRemeslnici.cz is an online platform operating in the Czech Republic that connects individuals and businesses with craft and trade professionals. Founded in 2008 by Miloš Lenoch and Michal Dobíšek, the company established itself as a significant intermediary for craft services. The platform allows users to post job requests for a wide range of services, including reconstructions, painting, roofing, and drywall installation.
The business model is centered on a lead generation system. Customers submit their project requirements for free, and registered craftspeople can then bid on these jobs. Crafts professionals purchase credits to respond to these inquiries, which constitutes the platform's primary revenue stream. This model shifted from an earlier commission-based system to a pay-per-lead fee after the company's acquisition. The platform's value proposition for customers lies in its extensive database of professionals and a transparent review system, which features tens of thousands of authentic customer references to help in selecting a reliable contractor.
The company's journey includes an early appearance on the Czech television show "Den D," where they failed to secure investment but continued to grow the business. A significant milestone occurred in 2014 when the venture capital fund Springtide Ventures, part of the KKCG group, invested in the company, helping it to scale and solidify its market position. By 2018, NejRemeslnici.cz had facilitated projects worth over five billion Czech crowns. In October 2018, Springtide Ventures sold the platform to the French multinational corporation Saint-Gobain, a major manufacturer and distributor of construction materials. The acquisition was a strategic move for Saint-Gobain to enhance its digital activities and direct engagement with end-users and craftspeople. Following the acquisition, the existing team was retained to ensure continuity and autonomy in the platform's operations.
