VentureFriends vision is to support and finance capable and ambitious startupers, whom have an international focus and set high the barrier of quality and standards. Its goal is to help build a new philosophy at the Greek tech ecosystem.

VentureFriends Fund invests at strong and ambitious teams that already have a tech product that emphasizes in e-Marketplaces and SaaS. VentureFriends Fund has the ability to participate from day-one of a startup’ s life, when usually they have developed a single product and revenue is extremely limited.
