The Greek Startup ecosystem...
This document summarizes challenges and opportunities for youth entrepreneurship in Greece. It finds that while over 75 million euros of public funding supports entrepreneurship institutions, less than 3.5 million euros in seed funding was invested in startups from 2010-2013. In 2013, only 16 startups received seed investments despite over 800 funding applications. This level of 1.6 seed investments per million people is far below Estonia's rate of 19 seed investments per million people. To reach Estonia's levels would require a major increase in both funding and applications that is unlikely to occur solely through traditional venture capital means given their typical success rates. Alternative approaches may be needed to better support Greek youth entrepreneurship and startup seed funding.
