What we define as Seed investment…
Every investment in Equity or Convertible Debt of less than 300.000€
1 Seed = 1 Opportunity to create
Endeavour findings, the Ecosystem…
• > 55 supportive institutions the last 3 years• Many startup awards and competitions• Increasing number of co-working spaces,
accelerators / incubators• More than 75m€ Public funding for
Mentorship, Education and Acceleration…• 80m€ available for ICT Startups from 4 VCs,
70% of which is Public money.
Data from Endeavour Greece, YPAN
Findings, view from Startupsɥ Since 2010 invested capital in Seed ~ 3,5mۥ 800 Unique Funding Applications (UFA) for Seed
Capital to financing actors in 2013• 2% Application Success Rate (ASR)• 16 ICT Startups had access to Seed in 2013• That is 1,6 Seeds-PMC (Per Million Capita)• In 2013, 122 Startups started with NO finance, just
pocket money and FFF’s !• Since 2010, from just 30 Seeds we resulted to more
than 10 success stories…
Data from OESYNE and Endeavour Greece
Our conclusions…
• More than 75m€ funding for the ecosystem• Less than 3,5m€ Seed funding for Startups• That’s a 20:1 ratio of Ecosystem vs Startups• Just >> 16 << Seed investments in 2013!!!• 3 Supportive Institutions for every Seed…!
More than 780 ideas in 2013 didn’t get funded!
Let’s compare…Greece Estonia

So our target must be:
We must get in Greece at least the numbers of Estonia in Seed Funding:
20 Seeds-PMC (Per Million Capita)
Is this possible in one year from now?
What about VC’s
• VC’s all over the world are run by the 2-20 rule• The typical ASR for VC’s in Seed is 2%
If we want to get the target with VC’s:
We must give 1billion € to VC’s
AND AT THE SAME TIME
Push Startups to file 30.000 Unique Funding Applications in 3 years!!!
Is this possible???... NO
Reality check…
To get Greece in the financing of Startups at least close to what Estonia does today, classic tools
like VC’s can’t do the trick…
20 Seeds-PMC (Per Million Capita)
Is this target possible in one year from now?
Off coarse but NOT with VC’s
