Vsltec Secures €540K Pre-Seed Funding from Greece’s Top Shipping Executives

Vsltec, a digital marketplace transforming how shipping companies procure technical services, today announced the successful close of its €540,000 pre-seed funding round. The round was led by prominent figures in the Greek shipping and legal sectors, including Sifis Vardinoyannis, CEO of Sekavin, Dimitris Vassos, Managing Partner of HFW Greece, Nikolaos and Stratos Tsalamanios, Co-CEOs of Seaven - Tanker & Dry Management, and the executive team of Petrochem Management S.A.

This investment will drive Vsltec's growth across three critical areas. Operationally, it will reinforce the infrastructure needed to scale with a growing user base and refine internal systems. On the technical side, the funding will support product development, enabling the release of new features and strengthening system performance. From a commercial perspective, it will back Vsltec’s initial market entry, broadening its footprint and building strategic industry ties.

Through progress on these fronts, Vsltec delivers meaningful value to both sides of the marketplace. Ship managers achieve measurable gains in time efficiency and cost-effectiveness through smarter, data-driven decision-making. Service providers benefit from qualified leads, clearer communication, and faster deal cycles, freeing them to concentrate on delivering high-quality service rather than chasing down opportunities.

“We built Vsltec to solve real, daily problems faced by technical and fleet managers,” said Theocharis Terzis, CEO of Vsltec. “This round gives us the firepower to scale quickly, grow our team, and deliver a modern procurement solution the industry can rely on.”
