Genesis Ventures

📈 Didimi has grown tremendously fast over the past six months, despite remaining in relative stealth. We now have our first clients, we are making revenue and are strategising on our future. All this would not have been possible without the incredible support I have been receiving from the very first day from our investors. As a first time founder, this was especially valuable to me. Dimitris Maroulis from Genesis Ventures and Dimitrios Rizos from Plug and Play Europe, co-invested in our pre-seed round that we announced a few months ago, lead from the Creator Fund, and have been with us since the very early days. Dimitris Maroulis has a unique background in construction that is rare for a VC. He gives me insights into large scale construction and how to operate as a venture-backed startup in this space. What a treasure. Dimitrios Rizos and the team at Plug and Play have spent years in #construction tech investing and it shows. They have asked me some of the most challenging, pointed and knowledgeable questions about Didimi that have shaped my thinking and strategy. Stay tuned, the future is bright for Didimi. #construction #startup #bim
