What keeps people from embarking on their ideas? What are the stopping points to creating a start-up? One of Cyprus' youngest entrepreneurs provides his idea of 'breaking the chain'. 

Stylianos is a young, serial entrepreneur, and a recent graduate from UCL. Since a very young age, he deemed technology as the medium which could materialize his ideas, whilst creating true value for others.
He founded his first start-up, VillageXpress while at college. Despite graduating during a most financially challenging year for Cyprus, he chose to return to the island and create persistently.
He is the Founder & CEO of Social Airways and the co-founder of Heart Cyprus. The latter is the ultimate guide to the best offerings of the island &  successfully rebranded Cyprus with over 210k followers. It has also given back to its people (offering €65k worth of scholarships &  raised €15k for Olympic medallist, Pavlos Kontides through crowd funding in 2014).
Social Airways is a platform which connects people who are on the same flight, by enabling them to utilize flight time constructively by providing them with options which make traveling more social, economical and fun.
