The startup was founded in 2022 by Marko Lastik, who is currently under criminal investigation related to his previous company, GTS Group. The investigation stems from a 2018 dispute with investment firm Novira Capital, where Lastik was accused of misusing funds. A recent court ruling favored Larix Partners, a Novira subsidiary, in a case demanding the return of €400K invested in Lastik’s logistics venture.
