Fintech Evolution: Private Growth, Public Impact

January 16, 2025 • Efi Pylarinou

In this insightful conversation kicking off the 2025 series with fintech veteran, Spiros Margaris, we delve into the Fintech evolution. Spiros is one of the few people that is involved in both the Private markets (as a venture capitalist) and the Public Markets with two AMCs - one in AI and another in Fintech.

Spiros Margaris, founder of Margaris Ventures, is an award-winning fund manager and a prolific venture capitalist—notably advising two unicorns and serving on multiple boards. He oversees top actively managed, publicly listed AI and FinTech stock funds, an achievement that earned him the Swiss Derivative Award for the “Margaris No. 1 AI Basket.” As a venture partner in SparkLabs Group’s AI fund—part of SparkLabs’ global network of 14+ funds and over 550 startup investments—he drives innovation for AI startups worldwide, notably through the AIMX accelerator in Riyadh.
