Vertigo Sports

What Vertigo Sports does

Vertigo Sports (VERTIGO SPORTS, s. r. o.) is a Prague-based private limited liability company that organizes corporate teambuilding, teamspirit events, and experiential learning programs for business clients in the Czech Republic. Founded in 2004 by Jiří Papáč and Mgr. Jan Veber, both graduates of FTVS UK (Faculty of Physical Education and Sport at Charles University), the company delivers programs built on experiential pedagogy and offers a catalog of 134+ original activities spanning performance games, survival challenges, airsoft, dragon boats, creative workshops, outdoor attractions, and themed entertainment. Delivery is carried out by an in-house team of professional instructors holding MŠMT-accredited experiential-pedagogy licenses and credentials from institutions including Deutsche Sporthochschule Köln.

The company's service portfolio is organized around three primary lines: (1) core teambuilding programs with structured debriefing; (2) corporate events, teamspirit, family days, and partner entertainment programs; and (3) the ACTIVE CLASS educational series. A complementary outdoor equipment rental operation (Půjčovna vybavení) at the Prague-Podolí headquarters rents snowshoes, ferrata sets, avalanche backpacks (including Ortovox AVABAG LiTRIC electronic units), and ski equipment. The Let's vertiGO! smartphone application extends delivery by layering interactive stories, puzzles, and customizable corporate challenges onto guided trips.

Vertigo Sports operates as a B2B sales-led business targeting HR managers, team leaders, and event planners at enterprise clients through direct sales and custom-tailored proposals. Revenue is generated on a per-event unit-pricing basis (Kč 6,200–35,300 ex-VAT depending on activity, duration, and group size), with travel fees of Kč 8–10 per kilometer beyond 100 km from Prague. Named enterprise customers include Siemens, Innogy Česká republika, and Zeppelin CZ, with documented multi-year retention at Zeppelin CZ. The company is bootstrapped, founder-owned, and operates with a 1–10 person core team from a single Prague location.
