The Hellenic Initiative (THI) announced that the deadline for Venture Impact Awards (VIA) applications has been extended to October 31. The VIA program was designed to recognize and support companies that are thriving economically and ethically. The VIA will distribute a total of $100,000 of prize money in total for 2023 to all winning teams.
Founded in 2012, THI is a global non-profit organization that brings together Diaspora Greeks and Philhellenes to invest in Greece today through programs focused on economic development and crisis relief. Since its founding, THI has invested more than $20.5 million in Greece and is the largest Greek Diaspora organization in the world.
Since its launch, the VIA program has awarded $645,000 in cash prizes to 37 winning companies, celebrating the good done by Greece’s emerging for-profit ventures. For the 4th consecutive year, VIA will realize its vision of supporting Greece’s brightest and most talented teams that demonstrate a measurable broad impact on society and create scalable, sustainable ventures.
VIA’s original anchor donors were the estate of Charles C. Condes and the Helidoni Foundation. VIA winners will be selected based not only on their ability to generate financial returns but also on how, through their mission, they demonstrate human, social, or environmental impact while fostering collaboration and promoting innovation.
VIA complements THI programs like Envolve Greece, Venture Garden, the Athens Venture Fair, and Cyprus Seeds, which have worked with high-growth startups since 2012, helping them raise capital, be mentored by experienced executives, and expand their markets.
Startups interested in applying for the VIA should note that the application deadline is Tuesday, October 31, 2023. Apply online: www.ventureimpactaward.com/application.
