What does it take to turn a startup into a global player? For Argyris Kaninis, the answer is simple: relentless curiosity and hands-on leadership.

Argyris has always been fascinated by potential—the untapped value in ideas and the people bold enough to chase them. With Gigaroxx Ltd, his venture dedicated to investing in and growing Greek startups, he’s not just funding companies—he’s breathing life into visions. From online marketplaces to energy services, Argyris works alongside founders, offering more than just advice. He’s there at every step, helping entrepreneurs navigate the chaos of scaling a business with the steady hand of someone who’s been there.

But his story doesn’t stop at mentoring. In 2014, Argyris co-founded Softomotive and turned it into a global leader in Robotic Process Automation (RPA). His knack for strategy and growth made the company a prime target for Microsoft, which acquired Softomotive in 2020. It was the largest exit by a Greek startup, but for Argyris, it wasn’t just about the exit—it was about proving that Greek innovation could play on the world stage.

After a successful year with Microsoft, Argyris returned to what drives him most—helping the next generation of Greek entrepreneurs take on the world. Through Gigaroxx Ltd, he’s shaping the future of innovation, one startup at a time, offering the same strategic vision that made Softomotive a global success.
