The Challenge: Identifying the most promising Greek founders at the earliest stages of building anywhere in the world
-
Heavy reliance on a network-driven and
inbound deal flows, both inherently limited in scale -
A clear and scalable path to an effective outbound program, delivering a strong and consistent startup pipeline - Limited and imprecise results from LinkedIn Sales Navigator, with no reliable way to identify Greek founders at scale
- Access to a vetted, high-quality founder database without the noise caused by poor LinkedIn indexing
- Generic functionality of existing data-driven VC tools, lacking focus on early-stage and founders
- Intuitive tools to easily identify Greek founders worldwide
- No structured prioritization framework to evaluate and sort incoming pipeline
opportunities - A proprietary Founder-Market Fit scoring algorithm that sharpens prioritization and improves decision-making

1. Ability to find Greek founders with one single button
Theti Club set out to invest globally while staying deeply connected to Greek talent and the broader tech ecosystem. To support this mission, the team aimed to scale its outbound program, freeing up time to focus on evaluating opportunities and building meaningful relationships, rather than spending hours on manual research.
Glancing analyzes dozens of data points on tech founders including first and last names, academic and professional backgrounds, and event participation to accurately identify individuals of Greek origin. This enables Theti’s team to uncover high-potential founders who align with their investment thesis, no matter where they’re building.
Unlike generic private market tools such as LinkedIn Sales Navigator, Glancing offers an intuitive interface with a single “Founder Tag” filter instantly surfacing the most relevant opportunities in a fraction of the time.
