In March 2013, banks in Cyprus were forced to close for two weeks, leading to the implementation of capital controls and the notorious bail-in. It was in that chaos that the foundation of what we’re building at included began to come together.
Although we obviously don’t know all the answers to every question, or even most of the economical and political ones, we do know how the startups in Greece must be feeling. And so earlier yesterday we reached out to the community managers of our partner spaces in Greece, to see if there was anything we could do to help their members.
At the same time, if not a bit earlier, the very awesome @jonromero and @panosjee, offered to start acting as a buffer to help Greek startups pay for their business-critical services, side-stepping capital restrictions and keeping these businesses alive and online.
We’re opening our free Concierge platform (usually exclusively available to the members of our partnered spaces) to startups anywhere in Greece.
If there’s anything we can help you cut costs on, no matter how crazy, please let us know and we’ll do our best to help you keep growing through these tough times.
