Rohlik reached a valuation of more than US$1 billion in 2021. By September 2025, Rohlik operated in the Czech Republic, Germany, Hungary, Austria and Romania. By 2025, it also offered e-commerce and logistics services to other retailers through its Veloq platform.
Investments and other ventures

Čupr co-founded Duvo.ai in 2025 with former Rohlik employees Marek Paris and Martin Pecha.

The company announced US$15 million in seed funding in December 2025, in a round led by Index Ventures.
