Startup Founders Talk Drives Real Ecosystem Growth

16.04.2026

On 15 April 2026, at Business Talks Series | Startup Founders Talk, PMCG brought together founders, builders, and participants of the Greennovation Acceleration Program for a discussion that went beyond surface-level insights. Instead of polished success stories, speakers shared real experiences that reflected the challenges of building and scaling startups.

Attendees gained practical knowledge from founders who openly discussed funding realities, early wins, and difficult failures. This approach highlighted a key truth: ecosystems grow stronger when knowledge is shared transparently. The Startup Founders Talk demonstrated how authentic dialogue can inspire action and deeper understanding among emerging entrepreneurs.

Real Stories from Startup Founders Talk

The discussion featured founders from diverse industries, each offering a unique perspective on growth and resilience. Natia Kukhilava from Helio.AI, Waska Chaduneli from Klipy, Giorgi Chugoshvili from Amadeo, and Irakli Chikava from TelAgri shared lessons shaped by real challenges. Their stories reflected the realities of navigating competitive markets and adapting to constant change.

Tekla Gugushvili from Axel guided the conversation with a dynamic and open approach. She encouraged speakers to go beyond achievements and explore the decisions behind them. As a result, participants gained a clearer view of what it takes to sustain a startup in a fast-moving environment.

Building Connections Through Shared Experience

The Startup Founders Talk was not limited to listening. It encouraged active engagement and meaningful exchange among participants. Conversations continued beyond the panel, allowing attendees to connect, ask questions, and share their own perspectives.

This level of interaction plays a critical role in strengthening startup communities. When founders and aspiring entrepreneurs connect directly, they build trust and create opportunities for collaboration. The Greennovation Acceleration Program supports this process by focusing not only on learning but also on building lasting relationships.

PMCG, together with its partner Axel, ensured that the event fostered both knowledge sharing and community building. Participants left with actionable insights and new connections that can support their future growth.

Strengthening the Greennovation Ecosystem

The Startup Founders Talk reflects the broader mission of the Greennovation Acceleration Program. The initiative aims to empower entrepreneurs by combining practical learning with real-world interaction. It emphasizes collaboration as a key driver of innovation and sustainable growth.

Implemented by PMCG Research in partnership with UNDP Georgia, the program operates within the project “Greening the Future, Advancing Rights and Stability,” funded by the Government of Denmark. This framework supports initiatives that promote innovation while addressing broader development goals.

By creating platforms like the Startup Founders Talk, the program continues to strengthen the entrepreneurial ecosystem. It shows that progress comes not only from success stories but from honest dialogue, shared lessons, and collective growth.
