The full list of service providers helping Greek startups

As payments to service providers continue to be a problem for Greek startups, some are showing more understanding than others. Here's a list of those showing sympathy to their current situation.

As capital controls continue to be enforced across Greece, the country's startups are continuing to struggle to stay afloat due to being unable to make what are considered international payments to their services providers. Despite the best efforts of the Bugsense founders' voluntary effort to cover these payments, there are still Greek startups that are scrambling to ensure the services they rely on to keep their businesses running remain up.

Some service providers are being more sympathetic than others to the situation that Greek startups currently find themselves in, and have shown understanding by extending payment terms and not discontinuing services.

A crowdsourced list of those service providers that are 'showing solidarity' to Greek startups is currently being sourced on Facebook, led by Nikos Anagnostou, founder and CEO of Discoveroom.

The list is constantly being updated, with service provider's official statuses, and currently looks like this: (_Update: I am also now getting service providers contacting me directly, and I am also adding those here, after verification from users_)

There are also services that don't appear to be as sympathetic of the current situation and they include:

**Adobe**: No extension.

**Perfect Audience:** Suspending campaigns.

As for **Facebook**, they appear to be pretty ambivalent, as they're freezing campaigns but not taking any action for collection of outstanding amounts.

The crowdsourced list will continue to be updated as service providers continue to give their official stance (and possibly change them), and I'll continue to update this post as and when these changes happen.
