Anargyros Koutroumpas
Anargyros Koutroumpas was born and raised in Athens, in a family with a long tradition in entrepreneurship. From a young age, he apprenticed in salesmanship under his father.

A series of fortunate events brought him to Starttech Ventures, where he fulfills his passion for supporting fellow entrepreneurs in bringing their visions to life.
