What Europe’s next generation of founders is building right now

With Chris Mantolas, Elena Papadonikolaki and Eilon Grouper

What happens when the next generation of European entrepreneurs steps up? And how do they turn personal obsession into scalable ventures?

In this special season finale, we sit down with three of Europe’s emerging founders — each building in wildly different arenas, but united by clarity of vision and ambition to reshape their industries.

🛥️ Christos Mantolas is the co-founder of Seago, a platform rethinking mobility across the Greek islands with private boat transfers and luxury yachting experiences.

🧿 Elena Papadonikolaki is the founder of Boutique Setters, a premier B2B hub for the boutique hospitality industry, connecting hotels, vendors, and service providers worldwide and promising to revolutionize the realm of boutique hospitality.

🧠 Eilon Grouper, a gamer-turned-AI-influencer, is building tools and content that demystify artificial intelligence — and turning his personal transformation into a platform for global reach.

Together, we discuss discovering their passion, finding their early users, and navigating the tension between bold ideas and local realities. Join us for a chat about the future of European entrepreneurship: scrappy, soulful, and surprisingly global.
