In a nutshell
Looking for strong & committed founding teams, solving real and difficult problems, in big and growing markets.
Stage
Early-stage: concept, pre-seed, seed.
What are we looking for?
Sectors
All. Enterprise SaaS, Fintech, Healthcare, E-commerce, Deep- tech, Edu-tech, Prop-tech, Web3 and others.
Geography
Focus on Greece and SE Europe, but any geo is welcome, as long as the company has a branch/subsidiary in Greece.
Trust
We are honest and fully transparent in our communication with founders, investors, and other stakeholders.
Ownership
'This is our baby' mindset. We own up and get things done. No excuses.
What do we stand for?
Leadership
We put effort to develop our team, founders, and angel investors. Their success is our success.
Impact
We prioritize ruthlessly to maximize results for our investors, founders, and the tech ecosystem.
We believe that startups have transformative potential for the people that create them, the people that work at them, the people that invest in them, and the people that use their products. We want to give the first two groups of people the knowledge and opportunity to reach this potential.
Even more, we want to give anyone, who is smart, ambitious, and hard-working enough and regardless of their socioeconomic status, background, pedigree, and gender, the opportunity to reach this potential by starting up. That is why we started the DayOne acceleration program.
