Their journeys began in Greece but took them to Switzerland and Germany, where they refined their skills and deepened their belief in science-driven entrepreneurship. Alex Vamvakas, with experience at CERN and Fairway Asset Management, brings relentless curiosity and a focus on innovation.

George Georgiadis spent over a decade at Volkswagen’s headquarters leading transformative projects in R&D and corporate technology strategy. Together, they embody Evercurious VC’s ethos of knowledge, innovation, and impact.

George explains “We’re inspired by the talent and ingenuity we see in Greece, We are supporting Greek deep tech founders to adopt an extrovert mindset by connecting them with European deep tech hubs, which we believe is essential for scaling internationally.

In this way, we foster a culture of cross-border collaboration and aim to maximize its benefits for our founders.”

With an initial capital of €12.5 million, Evercurious VC targets pre-seed and seed-stage startups, aiming to build a portfolio of approx. 20 companies. The fund focuses on ventures at the intersection of hardware and software, with a strong emphasis on research-driven startups, such as university spin-offs, bridging science with business.

Alex notes, “Deep tech is where the hardest problems are tackled and the greatest opportunities lie, We seek purpose-driven founders who address global challenges by developing defensible technology. They are positioned to attract top talent and build resilient companies while unlocking vast, untapped markets.”

Evercurious VC is backed by the Hellenic Development Bank of Investments (HDBI) as anchor investor and is planning a second closing for 2025, targeting €20 million. The fund’s first investments will soon be announced, showcasing its commitment to foster a vibrant deep tech ecosystem in Greece and beyond.
