How to invest in outliers, not consensus
With Alex Vamvakas
What makes a founder worth betting on? Why should deep tech be the next big focus for European VCs?
In this episode, we speak with Alex Vamvacas, founding partner of Evercurious VC—a new early-stage venture capital firm focused on commercializing deep scientific research across Europe. With a background that spans CERN, medical device startups, and asset management in Zurich, Alex shares what led him back to Greece to co-launch Evercurious. We talk about how to identify conviction-led founders, why real problems require real technology, and what makes an “investor-ready” startup.
Plus, why sometimes the best move is to ignore the advice of those with “institutionalized thinking.”
