John Tsioris is a prominent Greek tech entrepreneur, well known as the founder of InstaShop, one of the leading on-demand marketplaces in the Middle East. He earned both bachelor’s and master’s degrees in Engineering, beginning his career at Philips Electronics in the Netherlands. John swiftly rose to the position of Global Competitive Intelligence Manager before relocating to Dubai. His entrepreneurial journey began in 2013 with his first startup, Vound, an innovative voice social network. The launch of InstaShop in 2015 marked a turning point, inspired by his experiences with traditional grocery shopping. InstaShop quickly attracted investments from top-tier firms like Amazon, Venture Friends, and Jabbar Internet Group, experienced rapid growth and achieved net profitability, while fulfilling millions of orders monthly. In 2020, just five years after its founding, InstaShop was acquired by Delivery Hero, a DAX-listed public company, in a deal valuing the company at $360 million. The acquisition of InstaShop by the german publicly listed Delivery Hero is one of the largest exits in the Middle East & North Africa region and the largest greek tech startup exit to date. Leveraging his experience, John founded Revotech, a company dedicated to transforming industries with a primary focus on the healthcare industry.
