Avlaki, LLC
Avlaki is the Greek word for channel or groove. A beach near a channel may be named Avlaki as it has been grooved out by the moving water. This sign points to my favorite place to swim laps - Avlaki Beach on the island of Paxos, near Corfu.
Avlaki, LLC is focused on scaling technology companies, channeling the natural energy from the company and directing it to achieve the desired outcomes for scale and growth.
