These five startups are under careful evaluation for the final stage of investments, where up to 200,000€ are available to be invested in up to three of those.
Supported by Libra Philanthropies, the EnvolveXL program empowers founders with mentorship, training, international networking, and the opportunity to secure investments of up to €265,000, and access to other funding opportunities in the market. Rosanna Mortoglou, CEO of Libra Philanthropies, commented: “It’s inspiring to see how EnvolveXL continues to grow as a launchpad for promising startups. Each participating company reflects a belief in the founders’ vision and a step toward building resilient, innovation-driven economies — starting here in Greece and extending globally.”
Building on this momentum, Envolve has now opened applications for 20 new startups to join the 3rd EnvolveXL Accelerator, an industry-agnostic program for early-stage ventures. Starting in Spring 2026, selected teams will embark on a four-month journey of guidance from a pool of over 50 industry experts, skills development, exposure to investors and the startup ecosystem, and the chance to scale internationally, while securing their first investments.
