From idea to investable
opportunity.

I help ambitious founders build the strategy, narrative, and investor relationships needed to raise with conviction — not by chance.

About Marianthi

A strategist built at the intersection

I'm a Greek-Swedish capital strategist and venture builder with over a decade of experience across venture capital, investor relations, family offices, and international tech ecosystems.

I've lived and worked across Sweden, Switzerland, and Greece — bringing the warmth and relationship depth of the Mediterranean together with the discipline and structural rigour of Northern Europe.

Before strategy, I was a professional basketball player. That shaped everything: prepare obsessively, execute under pressure, and never confuse effort with results.

Swedish structure

Process, rigour, and clear frameworks that cut through noise.

Greek network

Deep relationships with capital, founders, and institutions.

Athlete mindset

Preparation, composure, and execution when stakes are high.

Operator lens

Strategy grounded in what actually works in the room.

The founders who raise aren't always the ones with the best product. They're the ones who learned how to make investors believe what they already know.

Three ways to engage

Every engagement is structured, scoped, and priced clearly. No open-ended conversations that never convert.

01

Raise Readiness Sprint

A focused, fixed-scope engagement to prepare you for your fundraise. We build your strategy, narrative, and investor pipeline — before you start the clock.

  • Fundraising strategy & sequencing
  • Investor deck narrative review
  • Target investor mapping
  • Pitch coaching & objection prep
  • Term sheet basics guidance

Fixed project fee
02

Advisory Retainer

Ongoing strategic counsel through your raise and beyond. I become your thinking partner, sounding board, and access point — on a structured monthly basis.

  • Monthly strategy sessions
  • Investor intro facilitation
  • Narrative & messaging support
  • Board & stakeholder prep
  • Network access (Greece, SE, EU)

My thesis

Greece is not catching up. It is waking up.

The capital is here. The founders are here. The families that built generational wealth are watching closely. What is missing is not money — it is structure, narrative, and trusted access. That is the gap I am closing.

My focus sits at the intersection of healthcare innovation, longevity, AI, and the Greek ecosystem — because that is where the most undervalued opportunities are being built, and where European capital is beginning to look.

How it works

A structured path from first call to close

Step 01

Discovery call

30 minutes. No pitch. I ask the questions that tell me whether I can genuinely help you — and how.

Step 02

Proposal & scope

I send a clear scope of work, timeline, and fee structure within 48 hours. No ambiguity.

Step 03

Engagement begins

Sprint or retainer — we start building immediately with a structured onboarding session.

Step 04

Results & access

You leave with a sharper strategy, a stronger narrative, and the right doors open.

Let's see if we're the right fit

I take on a limited number of founders and funds each quarter. The first step is a 30-minute conversation — no cost, no obligation, and no vague advice.
