VTripper of the Year
At Starttech Ventures, we believe in recognizing the individuals who embody our core values: teamwork, entrepreneurship, innovation, quality, and usefulness.
The VTripper of the Year Award celebrates those who have made exceptional contributions to our community, reflecting the spirit of our origins and the ethos we uphold today.
Honoring Excellence in Innovation and Teamwork
The VTripper of the Year Award derives its name from “Virtual Trip” (VTrip), Greece’s first student-led tech startup founded in 2000. This initiative laid the foundation for what would become Starttech Ventures. The award honors individuals who demonstrate outstanding dedication, innovation, and collaboration within our ecosystem.
Each year, during our New Year’s gathering and traditional “Vasilopita” cake-cutting ceremony, we present the VTripper Award to a team member who has exemplified our values and made significant contributions over the past year.
