History

Origins

Cleverlance was founded in 1999 in Czechia as a company that specialized in developing the Java EE platform. The founding members were Jakub Dosoudil, Jan Šeda, and Dobromil Podpěra. Jan Šeda later sold his share in the company to the other founders. In 2004, Cleverlance Group was founded. [2]

Death of Dosoudil

During the 2004 Christmas holidays, one of the founding members of Cleverlance, Jakub Dosoudil (27 years old at the time), went to Thailand with his girlfriend, Michaela Beránková (25 years old at the time, also working for Cleverlance). They died in the Indian Ocean tsunami, which killed almost 230,000 people. The rest of the employees and owners of Cleverlance were trying to find the couple, along with their families, after Dosoudil and Beránková were reported missing. Their bodies were found and identified in 2005. The deaths of Dosoudil and Beránková were a huge loss for the company and created a very chaotic situation for the company overall. [3] [4]

Later development

In 2017, the annual revenue of the company crossed 1 billion Czech crowns. [5] In 2019, KKCG group became the new majority owner. [6]

On June 2023, Cleverlance, Seavus, Komix Digital, Stratiteq, Clearcode, and Musala Soft merged to create Qinshift with 3,000 IT specialists. [7] [8]

After the course is completed, the best scoring people are offered a job position in Cleverlance. The most often held Academy is the Testing Clever Academy, designed to teach attendees the ins and outs of IT testing [12] within a single week and Testing Java Academy, focused on developers early in their careers.
