Endeavor Greece is proud to announce the official launch of Cohort 9 of Scale Up by Endeavor Greece, the first international program out of Greece that selects and supports the most promising Rising Star founders globally, who are either linked to Greece or interested in building a relationship with the country.
We are excited to welcome the 6 high-growth, high-impact founders as the newest additions to our network and portfolio, now actively supporting 60 companies that have created more than 3,200 jobs globally, with total funding surpassing $800M since inception.
Some key highlights of the new cohort:
The 6 companies have raised nearly $50M to date and have created 138 jobs internationally.
With headquarters in Amsterdam, Athens, Helsinki, Nicosia, Washington D.C., San Francisco, Singapore, and Stockholm, this year’s cohort is the most international in the program’s history.
A broad spectrum of high-growth sectors and industries is represented, from fintech and healthtech, to robotics, and foodtech.
Eliso Kotsieva, Head of the Scale Up Program, states:
“Cohort 9 represents a new phase for Scale Up - more closely aligned than ever with our mission to back the highest-potential founders on their path to becoming Endeavor Entrepreneurs. Out of the 30 companies we engaged with at the beginning of the year, only 11 advanced to panel stage and just 6 were selected - highlighting the increasing rigor and selectivity of the program as a true pipeline for Endeavor Entrepreneur selection. What sets this cohort apart is not just its international footprint, but its strategic intent: founders who see Greece not necessarily as a home base, but as a platform for scale. As Scale Up continues to mature, our goal is clear: to support globally relevant, high-impact companies that are shaping the future of innovation - with Greece as part of their story.”
