Biography

From 2003 to 2008 Angelidaki studied at the Technical University of Crete with a degree in Industrial Engineering and Management.[5] From 2008 to 2010, she received her master's degree in Marketing Management from the same university.[6] [7] [8] Angelidaki met co-founder InstaShop Tsioris in 2003 while studying for her mechanical engineering diploma.[9] [10] After graduating, Angelidaki set herself up as an online marketing freelancer.[11]

In 2013, Angelidaki and Tsioris came up with the idea for a voice-based social platform, Vound, allowing users to create 11-second clips using their voices, photos, special effects, and other sounds, but the project was closed after 17 months.[12] [13] In May 2015, Angelidaki founded Instashop with Tsioris.[14]

In 2020, Berlin-based food ordering and delivery company Delivery Hero acquired her company for $360 million. The brand will continue to live on as an independent platform led by Tsioris and Angelidaki.[15] [16] [17] The transaction is said to set a record value for a Greek startup and is one of the largest recent exits in the MENA region more generally.[18]
