Peri Ghika

Pericles Nicolaos Ghikas (Peri Ghika) was born and raised in an agricultural family at the village of Kriekouki, in rural Attica, Greece. He later moved with his family to Keratsini, where he finished his secondary education. In 1997 he was admitted to the Computer Science Department of the University of Crete. In 2000 he joined Virtual Trip Ltd, Greece's first student startup, as an intern. He left the company in December 2011 as a senior software engineer, having in the meantime dropped out of his studies. Having been infected by the entrepreneurship virus, Peri joined Starttech Ventures in January 2012 and works there since then; he has evolved to a senior venture partner, working both on the venture building and seed investments pillars of the organization.
