The importance of being close to future entrepreneurs

With a huge experience on business acceleration (gained from Virtual Trip spinning out 10 more startups), StartTech Ventures reflects now on the needs of young entrepreneurs with great respect and consideration. The company’s presence on the Athens Startup Weekend event mirrors both its past as a startup and also its present and future as a business accelerator (operating as Seed Fund, Incubator and Angel Network).

We are happy to be close to dynamic potential future business people who have the abilities to drive Greece’s future forward!

Entrepreneurship is all about being useful and happy!

In the Athens Startup Weekend University in late September 2012, our CEO Dimitris Tsingos, was a judge and a key speaker. Addressing the students, StartTech VC’s CEO emphasized on the necessity to build real sustainable organizations based on the principles of collaboration, innovation and teamwork.

What makes you really cool? Being Sexy, being successful or being the best on earth? None of the them really!…Entrepreneurship is about being useful to another person. Something so simple that makes you happy…

said Tsingos, among other things.

It should be noted, you can read the whole StartTechVC presentation on our Slideshare Channel.
