Pioneering Greeks: Alexia Kotsi & Grigoris Stamatopoulos, Funkmartini
Welcome to “Pioneering Greeks”, the column of GTP Headlines, which highlights the Greeks that stand out for their creative thinking in the business world. “Pioneering Greeks” is a collaboration between LoveGreece.com and Greek Travel Pages (GTP).
This week we introduce Alexia Kotsi & Grigoris Stamatopoulos, founders of Funkmartini, an online booking platform for beauty services.
Funkmartini was founded in 2013 and provides users with the opportunity to book online any beauty service they desire, 24/7. It is also a unique tool for entrepreneurs who want to upgrade the way they organize their appointment calendar and develop their businesses.
Funkmartini is currently collaborating with over 1,000 beauty salons and professionals in Athens and Thessaloniki and aims to expand to more regions in Greece, as well as abroad.
Moreover, the company aims to leave its social footprint, so it offers financial support to the non-profit organization “Make A Wish”. Through its social responsibility program entitled “Ethos” a part of the percentage they receive from a booking is sent directly to “Make A Wish”.
“I actually believe that our generation is the one that will change our country. And everyone should try to do so” Alexia said.
Inspired by the dynamism and creativity of the Greek entrepreneurial spirit, LoveGreece was founded in 2013 as an initiative to boost and promote the country’s image abroad by profiling talented and successful Greeks. With their ethos and vision, Greece’s entrepreneurs and professionals are an important aspect of the country worth highlighting to the world. LoveGreece is powered by Gina Mamidaki, the founder of the G & A Mamidakis Foundation.
