hello.
For whatever reason you are here, welcome :)
in short.
I’m an entrepreneur, investor & event producer. For the last decade, I co-create initiatives that support tech entrepreneurship, ignite creativity & promote social inclusion. I work at the intersection of technology, culture & new media.
About me.
In 2012 I co-founded Found.ation, Greece’s premier innovation and startup hub. In 2017, we created Velocity.Partners, a pre-seed and seed venture capital fund that invests in hyper-ambitious tech founders in Greece and abroad. A while back, in 2009, I founded TEDxAthens, one of the world’s first TEDx events.
I'm curious and persistent, with a pinch of creativity. Amateur photographer, professional eater - you can follow my gastronomic adventure on my newsletter (currently in Greek, sorry!).
British-educated, in Kent and in Queen Mary, University of London for LLM (Master of Laws), with focus in Antitrust Litigation in the Internet Economy.
In love with Athens, big fan of Master Yoda and Obi-Wan.
Investing.
If you are a first-time founder, just kicking off your entrepreneurial journey and looking for your first boost and up to €25k, check EIT Digital Venture Program by Found.ation. If you have a formed team, a product or service in MVP stage and looking to validate your product-market fit assumptions, Found.ation Spark supports teams looking to raise between €50-€200k with advice, fundraising support (via angels and micro funds), and access to corporates. If you are anywhere between pre-seed and seed (raising €250k to €1M), with a plausible plan and an ambitious and experienced team, we want to talk to you at Velocity.Partners.
