Entrepreneurs

Editor's Notes

  1. Hello all, my name is George Tziralis and I'm here to give you another perspective -actually a bottom-up view- on greek entrepreneurship. Our humble story starts almost two years ago,
  2. About 20-25 people appeared. And, believe me, just getting to know the existence of one another, people starting or have already started up, was kind of an (exciting) discovery. We could share our problems, experiences and knowledge; collaborations and opportunity were lying ahead. We liked it pretty much, and decided to repeat it. Next time, in middle July, the number of people was doubled. Also, a blog occurred opencoffee.gr
  3. after all, we do believe that we started out of nothing and came up a long way -community-wise at least-
  4. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.
  5. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.

  7. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.
  8. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.
  9. we think that, by now, we all agree that "things have changed" and greek web start-ups do exist, are absolutely able to succeed, the interest on entrepreneurship is next to huge, and the latent potential is even bigger.
  10. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.

  13. to create a web start-up, essentially you need enough brainpower, a strong community and ecosystem to take advantage of, enough and proper funding and proper advisory to guide you through the whole process.
  14. This is what a typical distribution of funding availability looks like,
  15. and this is the case in Greece. You’re right, there’s absolutely *no* seed capital. Actually, a greek VC told me the other day that the term “greek angel investor” is more of an oxymoron, it simply does not exist. And, guess what, seed capital and proper advise by experts *on the field* is what you need most to start-up, especially a web business.
  16. I also need to mention that, the whole endeavor is an (almost) zero budget one. We are not in the event business or care to be so, we are just a bunch of people passionate about technology start-ups and love to connect with people of similar interests.
