🎉 Sifted just published Greeking Out 2.0 sponsored by Endeavor Greece ❤️, offering the newest insights into the Greek tech ecosystem's recent developments. I remember reading the original report before my first trip to Greece, and I'm proud to see the ecosystem thriving in all the right ways! https://lnkd.in/d3cHwf_K 😎 500 Emerging Europe is more bullish than ever on Greek talent. Although we are not as active as we’d like to be, we still backed 2 stellar teams from Greece so far! Sentify (YC S24) Plum 🤩 Highlights from the report: 🌃 Big tech is investing in Greek talent with new engineering offices. Global startups are also building talent-dense remote teams in Greece. Tesla, Elastic, Clerk.com 💰 Recent years have been great for Greek tech with new unicorns (Blueground), billion-dollar exits (BETA CAE Systems), and impressive funding rounds for Greek-led startups (TileDB, Harbor Lab, Wikifarmer, and more). The flywheel turns! ✈️ The Greek diaspora is stronger than ever, with an ambition to create a legacy and give back to their homeland. Their support is vital for the ecosystem, and they're rocking it! 🇬🇷 If you’re a Greek founder building a startup with global ambitions, you MUST hit me up at tarik.dutkuner@500.co 😎

Had an amazing time in Kuala Lumpur last week attending the Solana Summit APAC. It was interesting to connect and interact with builders across the Solana Labs ecosystem. I enjoyed sharing my experience in building a community-led growth funnel for protocols and brands, as well as pitching my ideas. A big thank you to Team Superteam and the Solana Foundation for organizing this incredible event. It was also wonderful to connect with fellow 500 Global Sida Zheng Armani Ferrante from Backpack Cindy Leow Paul Kim from Notifi Mara Gonzalez from Rain.fi Matthew Tan from Etherscan 👾Ian from Circle & more folks!
