Join us as Panos and Antonis, two young founders from Greece, share their bold mission to reinvent online giving through Givelink, a donation platform that transforms every euro or dollar into tangible, trackable impact.
Straight out of university and driven by frustration with Europe’s slow startup mindset, they built a transparent system where donors can see exactly what their money delivers, from hygiene kits to children’s toys. Now they are taking their vision global, moving to the United States to expand Givelink and prove that generosity can be measurable, meaningful, and scalable.
In this episode, Panos and Antonis open up about growing up in post-crisis Greece, turning social frustration into innovation, and building one of the most promising nonprofit tech startups in Europe. They share how storytelling, transparency, and creativity helped them inspire trust, attract partners, and reimagine what giving can look like in the digital age.
