However, there is a paucity of information on the types of start-ups that are more likely to secure finance from investors, which complicates investors\u2019 financing decision-making. In this project, a novel and comprehensive database of Greek start-ups will be built, and quantitative (financial) and qualitative (non-financial) information as well as the preference information of the decision-maker (i.e., investor) will be used to develop a multi-criteria judgmental rating model able to handle start-ups\u2019 uncertainty and estimate the probability of obtaining finance.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n    <div class=\"twae-end\"><\/div>\n    <\/div><style type=\"text\/css\">@media (max-width: 1024px){ .twae-wrapper{--tw-ybx-size: 80px !important;}}@media (max-width: 767px){ .twae-wrapper{--tw-ybx-size: 80px !important}}<\/style>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b65be78 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"b65be78\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;,&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-922151c e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"922151c\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_ha_eqh_enable&quot;:false}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-c235052 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"c235052\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Contributing Partners<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4c200b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"4c200b3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-645f186 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"645f186\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Funding Agency<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9aa2802 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9aa2802\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elidek.gr\/en\/homepage\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-711\" src=\"https:\/\/softwaredemo.eap.gr\/desus3\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-300x97.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"97\" srcset=\"https:\/\/acclab.eap.gr\/desus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-300x97.jpg 300w, https:\/\/acclab.eap.gr\/desus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-1024x332.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/acclab.eap.gr\/desus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-768x249.jpg 768w, https:\/\/acclab.eap.gr\/desus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-1536x498.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/acclab.eap.gr\/desus\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/ELIDEK_Logo__Vector_ENG-2048x664.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>\n<br><br>\n<strong style=\"font-size: 20px;\">Action: <\/strong><a style=\"font-size: 17px;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.elidek.gr\/en\/call\/3rd-call-to-support-faculty-members-and-researchers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3rd Call for H.F.R.I.
