Microsoft ImagineCup Winner: Meet Vangos from Greece

“My name is Vangos Pterneas and I am 27 years old. I took my first steps on the beautiful island of Milos and grew up in Athens, Greece. I studied at the Athens University of Economics and Business. My academic background includes Applied Computer Science and Advertising.

 

For the past three years, I’ve been running my own agency, LightBuzz  Software, which helps innovative businesses create profitable digital products. We offer our expertise in app development, design, branding and advertising in order to grow our clients’ businesses and lead them to success. LightBuzz participated in Microsoft’s YouthSpark program for one year. Prior to that we participated in the 2011 Imagine Cup, Microsoft’s annual worldwide student competition, where our innovative project won first place in the Interoperability Challenge category. This title and experience gave us the motivation and belief that we needed to start our entrepreneurial journey.

 

Winning at the ImagineCup was something unexpected. I almost didn't  believe it when it happened. Everything has been better since."
