How Skroutz become and remains Greece’s biggest online marketplace

How Skroutz become and remains Greece’s biggest online marketplace - Bite-sized insights on failure and scaling with George Hadjigeorgiou

How does a founder turn his hobby into Greece’s biggest e-commerce marketplace? And why is his key insight, after 20 years of successful entrepreneurship, that we should all embrace failure more?

For our premiere of Season 2 of Europe Builds, live from the Doers Summit, we are joined by Geroge Hadjigeorgiou, co-founder and CEO of Skroutz.
