^^shyboy
one room that earns from morning to midnight.
a specialty-coffee and vinyl bar in karlín, prague - built to run every part of the day on one footprint, one team, one brand. opening autumn 2026.
confidential · for invited investors only
most venues sell one part of the day. we sell all of it.
a café dies at 4pm. a bar sleeps till 6. ^^shyboy is engineered so the same room, the same team and the same rent earn from the first espresso to the last cocktail - laptops and filter by day; records, natural wine and a cocktail program by night.
six things, done right.
one cold, brutalist room in karlín, running on a tight set of things people come back for - not a menu that tries to do everything.
karlín is where prague goes next.
karlín is prague's fastest-rising district - design and tech studios, new residents, money moving in, and thin late-night options. specialty coffee keeps growing worldwide, and "third places" built for comfort and identity earn loyalty that price can't. and czechia is one of europe's most dog-owning nations (~42% of households) - yet nowhere is built for them. we are.

five revenue lines, one room.
the same seats turn over from morning coffee to midnight cocktails - so revenue per square metre is built to beat a café or a bar alone.
base case · upside to ~€2.9M at maturity with a year-round (heated) terrace
a brand, not just a bar.
the vinyl-days format, the ^^ identity and the "come as you are" room are hard to copy and easy to love. anyone can sell a flat white - people come back for a place that feels like theirs. that loyalty is the moat, and it compounds. and the dogs menu turns it into a community: in the country with europe's 3rd-highest dog ownership, being the one room actually built for dogs is a loyalty engine - and a marketing machine - money can't buy.
operators who care about the cup, the deck and the glass.

founderbuilt ^^shyboy around the three things he can't live without - specialty coffee, records and a proper drink. wired for sound, music, architecture, art, coffee and food - and a real thing for cars. an aesthete with adhd and the ear of a mystery diner: he catches the one off note before he says hello. the dogs menu isn't a gimmick - he just thinks it's unfair that dogs get dragged everywhere and left with a wait and someone else's crumbs, so he gave them a real seat at the table. shy on the door, warm once you're in.

what we're raising.
€200k (≈5M Kč) as a convertible loan with a founder buyback. money to finish a project where the big risks are already gone: a 15-year lease signed, and ≈€250k (6M Kč) of the founder's own capital - 5M Kč already in the space, 1M Kč ready for the fit-out. structure flexes for the right partner.
exact terms one-on-one
to opening, and past it.
one room now. the format later.
prove the model in karlín, then repeat it. the ^^shyboy format travels - any cold room, any city, the same pillars and the same feeling. we're not building a café; we're building something worth copying, run by the people who made it first.
build it with us.
if the room makes sense to you, the next step is a conversation and the full numbers. reach max directly.
