The latest episode of Relentless: Life On Your Terms is live — and it’s one of those conversations that makes you pause and rethink how real, sustainable growth actually happens.
I’m joined by Stavriana Kofteros— Founder & Partner at W11 Ventures, Cofounder & Chair of Startup Cyprus, and one of the most influential voices in Europe’s startup and innovation ecosystem.
Stavriana has spent years operating at the intersection of venture capital, deep tech, policy, and entrepreneurship, advising founders, corporates and governments on how to build ecosystems that actually work — not just look good on paper.
Her philosophy is simple, but powerful:
🌱 You don’t build great companies overnight — you plant the right seeds, nurture them patiently, and think in decades, not quarters.
From advising VC funds and sitting on boards, to shaping national innovation strategy and supporting founders across AI, Greentech, Healthtech and Deeptech — Stavriana brings a rare mix of strategic clarity, global perspective and grounded execution.
In this episode, we dive into:
🌍 Building startup ecosystems that genuinely create value
🌱 Why long-term thinking beats short-term hype
🧠 The role of founders, investors and policy in innovation
📈 Scaling companies without losing purpose
🚀 What it really takes to grow from seed to significance
This one’s for founders, investors, operators and leaders who care about building things that last.
