Meet Paris and Alexandros, our National Leads for Cyprus!
Paris:
What is your background?
I am a certified Business Model Generation trainer, entrepreneur and communication specialist. Co-founder of ENERMAP, a Climate-KIC accelerated start-up, and passionate mentor/coach for new cleantech start-ups through Chrysalis LEAP, a private accelerator. I’m also co-founder of a boutique consulting firm specializing in Business Model prototyping.
Why did you become a country lead?
What you learn by joining Climate-KIC is too valuable to miss out on. I’ve been there. That’s why I am National Lead, and why we are excited to organize ClimateLaunchpad in Cyprus and Greece.
Why do you think this competition is so important?
The first step in realizing a successful start-up is recruiting the right talent, that is the largest idea recruitment effort. What better way to do this than with a massive competition?
How does your organisation support cleantech start-ups?
Chrysalis LEAP provides, in order of priority: 1) Passion, 2) Serious mentoring, 3) Technical Support, 4) Networking, 5) A fun experience. We have a proven track record and are eager to help more start-ups make it happen.
