Entrepreneurship for Physicists
who am I ?
• Studied theoretical physics at UoA, NTUA and Cam
• Worked in INP here at Demokritos during my undergrad studies
under Pr. Floratos
• Main research fields: quantum simulation of physical systems,
quantum complexity theory
• CEO at Warply, currently mining big mobile data in advertising
and marketing
startup idea is like choosing a PhD topic
• choose something you are passionate about
• take good care in defining a tractable problem
• investigate old ideas
• find something that has massive impact
• define a measurable assumption-testing methodology
• create a roadmap
adoption curve is a Gaussian, product sales is a logistic
disruption is just like quantum tunnelling
product market fit is like plasma etching a semiconductor
“Product/market fit means being in a
good market with a product that can
satisfy that market”
Marc Andreessen
startup financing is like a fusion reaction
≡
idea replication is like quantum entanglement
Scaling a Business
Energy required to
propagate chances
