Are Armenian success stories one-offs? 🚀😉 Think ServiceTitan's IPO or the growing list of Armenian Startups at multi-hundred million valuations. These aren’t one-off cases, they’re the result of the ties to the Diaspora and the continuous efforts in the domestic innovation ecosystem, also in the educational space. Here are a couple of high impact initiatives being implemented. ⚙️ Armath: Training the next generation of engineers through hands-on learning. 👨💻 TUMO: Where teens become global innovators in tech and design.  👧 COAF: Providing rural children with education, healthcare, and tech. 🔬 FAST: Pioneering science and tech, including via the GenAI initiative.  💡 EPIC: An incubator for Startups which aim to turn bold ideas into scalable businesses.  🧠 YerevaNN: Advancing AI and neural networks with world-class research. And so much more … Cheers to continued progress! #Innovation #Armenia #Startups #TUMO #EPIC #FAST #COAF #Armath #YerevaNN #AI

🚀 The Startup Lifecycle: From Idea to IPO 💡➡️📈 Building a startup is not for the faint of heart. It's a journey filled with chaotic creativity, tough decisions, and unrelenting perseverance. Here's how the lifecycle looks: 1️⃣ Idea: Everything begins here. A spark, a problem, or a bold dream.
 2️⃣ Team: Your idea is only as strong as the people who bring it to life. Choose wisely.
 3️⃣ MVP: Build lean, test fast. Your "minimum viable product" is your ticket to real-world feedback.
 4️⃣ Experimentation: Hypothesize, test, validate—or fail.
 5️⃣ Short Batches: Iterate small, learn fast. Perfecting your offering step by step.
6️⃣ Pivoting? When the data says "change course," listen. Adapt or die.
 7️⃣ Product-Market Fit: The magic moment—customers genuinely love your product.
 8️⃣ Distribution Channels: Open doors to your audience. How will they find you?
9️⃣ Marketing (Sales, PLG): It’s time to amplify—craft your strategy and build trust.
 🔟 Whole Product: Beyond the MVP—deliver the full experience your customers crave.
 1️⃣1️⃣ Scaling, Hiring, Growth: The gas pedal phase. Expand your team, your market, your vision.
 1️⃣2️⃣ New Verticals: Mastered one space? Time to conquer others.
 1️⃣3️⃣ M&A: Collaborate, acquire, merge. Grow strategically.
 1️⃣4️⃣ IPO or Sale: The dream exit. Years of hustle lead here—a chance to change lives and redefine industries. Every step is a mountain to climb, but the view from the top? 🌄 Worth it.

One of our favorite charts 🙂 And while relevant for Startups and product launches 🚀, it can also be applicable to how economies and ecosystems become competitive. As Everett Rogers’ Diffusion of Innovations theory says: it’s not just about ideas—it’s about People. ✨ Innovators dream it. ✨ Early Adopters believe in it. ✨ The Early Majority proves it works. ✨ The Late Majority trust the proof. ✨ Laggards? Well, they come around eventually. 😄 Innovation always happens, and the earlier one adopts it, the more the gains in productivity. As an ecosystem, progress depends on empowering every part of this curve. From product Users, to all the Stakeholders who support the ecosystem. #Innovation #NationBuilding #EverettRogers #Progress

💡 What’s the Cost of NOT Investing? If you save $50/month in cash, after 10 years, you’ll have $6,000. Sounds fine, right? But with inflation, that’s only worth $4,650 in today’s dollars. Now, if you invest that same $50/month in a diversified portfolio: In 10 years, it could grow to $10,000+. That’s more than 2x the wealth! 🚀 The lesson? Don’t let inflation shrink your money. Start small, invest consistently, and watch it grow. 👉 The best time to start? Today. *Calculations are based on an annual inflation rate of 2.5%, and an annual investment return of 10%. #Investing #FinancialFreedom #WealthBuilding #StartNow

🌟 How the Startup Became a $100 Billion Company: The Airbnb Story 🌍 What do you do when you can’t pay rent? Most of us would cut back on expenses or find a side gig. But for Brian Chesky and Joe Gebbia, the solution was innovative: rent out air mattresses in their apartment to strangers during a design conference in San Francisco. That weekend, they made $240 hosting three guests. This small, creative idea became the foundation of Airbnb. Little did they know, this idea would grow into Airbnb, a global hospitality giant valued at over $100 billion. 🚀 Their journey wasn’t easy: * Their first few launches failed. * To keep the business alive, they sold cereal boxes, raising $30,000. * Critics doubted the idea of staying in strangers’ homes. But they stayed committed to their vision: making travel more personal, affordable, and unique. Acceptance into Y Combinator in 2009 gave them the mentorship and funding they needed to grow. They expanded beyond air mattresses to include full homes, apartments, and even castles and treehouses. Great ideas often start small. ➡️ Today, Airbnb operates in over 190 countries and has hosted millions of travelers, proving that even the simplest ideas can change the world when driven by passion, determination, and belief in your vision. #Entrepreneurship #Inspiration #SuccessStory #Airbnb #Innovation
