Originally from Entrepreneur Week’s press release
ATHENS, GREECE, February 27, 2012
In the face of economic, social, and political turmoil, Entrepreneur Week initiated its first parlay into Europe with Greece Entrepreneur Week (@EWgreece) to educate more than 650 aspiring and early-stage entrepreneurs. The event was planned purposefully in just 20 days to provide the framework of entrepreneurship as a viable long-term solution for solving the financial crisis.
“Greece has a robust and proud culture. It’s time we wake up to the new reality of doing business and operate from a stance of strength through global collaboration, networking, and interconnection. It’s imperative we embrace a new way of thinking and building relationships. For too long Greece has been an insular economy. CoLab, exemplifies the abundance of entrepreneurial opportunity we have here. The first two spaces we launched sold out in less than three months each and we are now expanding geographically outside of Athens,” stated CoLab Athens co-founder Stavros Messinis.
Greece has the opportunity to reclaim its ancient glory as a hub of global innovation. Archimedes’ creation of the Antikythera mechanism – an ancient mechanical computer from 100BC – shows Greece’s history of innovation in computing. As the originators of democracy, coined money, and central banks, Greece has a chance to capitalize on their rich history to move forward proactively with entrepreneurship, particularly in these troubling times. The debt crisis Greece is experiencing has been positive because it exemplifies that their current economic infrastructure was unsustainable, which opened a door for transparent discussion necessary for change.
Greece Entrepreneur Week launched in partnership with Ministry of Development, Competitiveness and Maritime, Ministry of Education, Life-Long Learning & Religious Affairs, CoLab Athens, Virtual Trip Group, Startup Greece, National Bank of Greece, Hellenic Startup Association, Young Confederation of Entrepreneurs, Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry, American Hellenic Chamber of Commerce.
To infuse fresh perspectives and ensure diversity of opinion, Entrepreneur Week curated a 36-member delegation from 10 countries - Australia, Belgium, Hungary, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, Serbia, Spain, Russia, UK, and USA. The delegation held panels, keynotes, roundtables, and a succession of pitch events for entrepreneurs that was highlighted by an intimate meeting on educational reform with Minister of Education, Anna Diamantopoulou as well as Constantine Michalos, President of the Athens Chamber of Commerce & Industry.
The renowned entrepreneurs and thought leaders who were a part of Entrepreneur Week Greece included:
- Alex Mitchell, Vice President at YES (European Confederation of Young Entrepreneurs) & President at G20 YEA (UK)
- James Allworth, Fellow at Forum for Growth & Innovation of Harvard Business School (USA)
- Ksenia Khoruzhnikova, Founder & Chair at G-20Y Summit IOC (Russia)
- Alvaro Cuesta, President at Asociacion Jovenes Empresarios de Madrid (Spain)
- Omar Al-Madhi, Assistant Deputy Governor at SAGIA, Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (Saudi Arabia)
With an additional $170 billion bailout package announced this past week, the biggest sovereign debt restructuring in history, consensus opinion is quite possible – full default. However, the energy and passion of the local Greek startup community, anchored by Greece Entrepreneur Week curator Dimitris Tsigos, exhibit a surprising pent up yearning for change. Over the course of the past three years, the culture in Greece for startups slowly progressed toward acceptance as the country continues to undergo a mental model shift toward global perspectives for business and the need for economic dynamism.
Top Ministry officials directly supported the five-day event in a focused effort toward developing concrete actions steps for Greece to evolve out of its current deadlock. Five systemic barriers to fostering a healthy startup ecosystem in Greece were identified: overly conservative culture, lack of risk financing, deficient opportunity for alternative education, and a vastly unstable regulatory environment.
Entrepreneur Week CEO, Gary Whitehill, believes, “as Greece moves toward significant change culturally and economically, now is the best time to create a presence because unstable times create incredible opportunities. History is quite telling, the Greeks were the first explorers of the world - entrepreneurship is in their DNA. Our mission is to develop a local brick and mortar presence, drive global partnerships, and educate the Greek startup community on building scalable and actionable outcomes through the tools and resources of our platform.”
This is just the beginning for Entrepreneur Week in Greece and its three core pillars of education, mentoring, and inspiration as critical first steps toward ensuring stability in the region and a cohesive understanding on how to create scalable and sustainable businesses.

SANTIAGO, CHILE, November 18, 2011
This past week marked the global launch of Entrepreneur Week in partnership with Corfo, Que Pasa,Sofofa, Startup Chile and American Airlines; highlighted by an intimate meeting with President Sebastian Piñera at La Moneda Palace.
The three day event focused on educating, mentoring and inspiring more than 350 local entrepreneurs to create scalable and successful businesses. A delegation of 20 seasoned entrepreneurs, investors and thought leaders from the United States descended upon Chile to share lessons learned throughout their careers, having raised more than $500m in venture financing alongside a collective 271 years of business experience. Nam Bui, Co-Founder of Inc Magazine’s Business Owners Council came to Chile to help “Dispel the mindset that failure is not an option, because it will engender more Chileans to take the leap of faith and the inherent risks of being an entrepreneur.”
Although Chile is labeled as a developing country by the world at large, Founder of Entrepreneur Week, Gary Whitehill believes there is significant promise, “The Chilean government has been one of most proactive governments that we have sought to work with internationally. The barrier to entry and thus assurance for success, improves exponentially with the support of the government to foment change, influence growth, and make the necessary investments to foster innovation.”
The inaugural event is only a taste of what is to come over the next four months in the region. Building upon the launch, the Chile Entrepreneur Week (#EWchile) USA delegation will return in late January for a four day event. In addition, Entrepreneur Week will expand its presence in the region with South America Entrepreneur Week in April, a 10 day event series in Brazil, Chile and Peru.
South America was chosen as the main expansion point for Entrepreneur Week because, as Lauren Perkins of Perks Consulting stated, “The Entrepreneurs that attended Chile Entrepreneur Week were from all around the continent. They were engaged and hungry for more knowledge.”
Chile is on the cusp of a key inflection point for its entrepreneurs, and more specifically, PresidentSebastian Piñera’s economic development strategy: to create and harness a robust and sustainable entrepreneurial ecosystem. The delegation shared their thoughts and insights with the President, which includes:
- Brant Cooper, a renowned lean startup practitioner had this to say about his experience, “like all startups, Chile’s entrepreneurship ambitions face uncertainty and formidable obstacles, including network infrastructure, equipping schools with technology and even overcoming cultural impediments. But to Chile’s leader’s credit, they seem to have recognized these risks and are facing them head on.”
- Michael Ellsberg, author of “The Education of Millionaires,” provided his viewpoint to the President, “Many Chilean entrepreneurs told me that there is a strong, overwhelming family and societal stigma in Chile associated with trying something and failing. This must change in order for there to be an entrepreneurial culture in any country. The cornerstone of an entrepreneurial culture is recognizing that failing is almost always a part of later success.
- Sisha Ortuzar, Co-Founder of the famous Wichcraft restaurant chain and a Chilean-born entrepreneur said, “One of the biggest challenges that Chile faces right now is its image in the international market. Most people don’t know much about Chile, or what Chile can do.”
Entrepreneur Week is committed to helping foster entrepreneurship and innovation Chile and will continue to expand its efforts in the region alongside its strategic partners. Chile Entrepreneur Week is the first of multiple entrepreneur events to be held in South America over the course of the next year.

Angels and investors have poured a record amount of dollars into NYC based seed and early-stage investments this year, upending Boston to take the coveted #2 spot behind Silicon Valley as a leading startup and venture center. With VC firms opening East Coast offices, the mood swings of recent valuations, the inevitable cash crunch of funding, and the rise of secondary markets and liquidity events, these issues are all on the minds of investors and entrepreneurs. Vator and Bullpen Capital are taking their popular Venture Shift event to NYC bringing a wide roster of East Coast VCs and Angels to debate on what all of this means for the overall entrepreneur and venture environment. Perks Consulting is producing this event as a follow up to last year’s Vator Splash startup competition event.
Drawing a sold-out crowd of 450 attendees, Venture Shift in San Francisco probed the changing dynamics of the venture industry and is now headed to NYC on the evening of November 17, Thursday, at Le Poisson Rouge, in downtown Manhattan. Keynote speakers include startup to VC crossover, Mark Suster of GRP Partners, and market gamechanger, Barry Silbert, Founder and CEO of SecondMarket. Billy Chasen, CEO and co-founder of Turntable.fm and Michael Lazerow, CEO and founder of Buddy Media serve as Venture Shift Floating Point speakers, offering the startup point of view from two young and rapidly expanding companies.
To supplement the event Vator and Bullpen are also giving three lucky startups an opportunity to present their companies at a demo table at the event. Startups should submit their company’s Vator profile to the competition page before voting ends on November 10th: http://vator.tv/competition/venture-shift-ny-startup-search.
