Oxford Capital

We have been deeply rooted in the foundations of the 🇬🇷 startups ecosystem since its inception 15 years ago. We have been the launchpad for ventures & initiatives that have defined markets & industries, including many tech darlings of the regional scene. With a focus on empowering “Venture Characters” (hyper-ambitious tech founders with strong ethical foundations), Apeiron leverages its strategic market visibility and access to propel groundbreaking ideas into global success stories in Europe, US and beyond. Our partnership style Augmented Team: We know how hard it is to build a business from the ground up. From hiring the right people to setting up your GtM plan and from governance to your next round of financing - we roll up our sleeves to provide you with what’s critical for your venture. A sound voice, and trustworthy extended team. Real People Network: Apeiron is backed by 40+ investors, including exited Startup Founders (we previously backed), successful entrepreneurs, corporate investors & operators, and some of the region’s largest family offices. Your Partner, Not Your Boss: Every VC in the business claims it brings value. In reality, they talk to you every month, skip the hard talk and play the bossy card. With a toxic free, honest attitude we are your partners first, investors second. Ask for a reference from our previously backed founders.

We believe in the value of enabling others through technology. We believe doing one thing right is more valuable than doing many things mediocre. We back the companies of tomorrow.
