Greek Tech Mafia Manifesto

Hello and welcome to the GTM newsletter; a bi-weekly (once every two weeks) newsletter that will try to uncover the top tech Greek talent in Greece and beyond using a mix of tech and manual work. Our focus is early-stage companies raising their pre-seed or seed round that are taking place either in Greece or abroad but will feature entrepreneurial talent that we think will be relevant in the coming years. We believe in the power of the hellenic network, especially the Greek diaspora and our mission is to connect local and global forces using tech as a vehicle so as to build bridges of partnership that bring value to our communities inside and outside Greece. More specifically we:

  • 1. Focus on presenting the most interesting companies the team of GTM has access to

  • 2. Focus on early-stage deals (pre-seed and seed)

  • 3. Put emphasis on a founder-friendly approach;

  • a) we try to be respectful to the founders’ time

  • b)we believe in value-add even if the investor passes on a specific deal by offering resources such as intros to their network,

  • c) we show empathy and understanding of challenges; founders have probably the single most difficult job out there

  • 4. Offer of a short memo on the deals we feel more strongly about

  • 5. Believe in the strategic nature of the investor-founder connections; founders might not raise immediately from an investor but can build a relationship for a future round

  • 6. Are committed to confidentiality and sharing information with prior consent from the founder

  • 7. See the potential for high impact for the Greek ecosystem and value add for the hellenic network
