Market Intelligence in a Society that hates Transparency [foobar.i/o #8]

Building a SaaS is a battlefield on its own, now imagine doing it in Greece.
On the 7th of April, Konstantinos Livieratos will be sharing the behind-the-scenes story on how fundamenta was built, a platform aiming to reshape market intelligence in the Greek market!

Expect GDPR challenges, competitors copy-pasting their work into ChatGPT like it's an Olympic sport (they'd probably win 🥇) and several Greek bureaucracy moments enough to test any founder's sanity...
It's a story about pushing meaningful change into a market that wasn't fully ready for it, the unexpected hurdles along the way, and why creating a market-local SaaS can be far tougher than going global.

📍 You will find us at our host Starttech Ventures, downtown Athens: Lykourgou 1, 2nd floor

Starttech Ventures is a venture studio based in Athens, building B2B SaaS companies for global markets since 2000. We co-found companies with entrepreneurs, grounded in a philosophy of trust-based, long-term value creation. Our approach draws on Lean Startup and product-led growth principles to systematically take ventures from first hypothesis to profitable, resilient scaleup. What started as a student-led company in Heraklion, Crete has grown into one of Europe's earliest venture builders, with companies like Epignosis (the team behind TalentLMS), Yodeck, and AbZorba Games proving that it is possible to build globally successful companies from Greece, prioritizing customers over investors and real value over paper value.
