2. 2 startups founded:
1st in Thailand, 2nd in Armenia
More than 6 years of entrepreneurial
experience.
Engineering background.
Currently founder and CEO of Plexonic
(social, mobile games)
4. Are you an Entrepreneur?
Being engineer is GREAT!
But is not the same as being entrepreneur.
Do you realize what you are getting into?
Is that OK for you to be led by a leader?
Armenian Individualism
6. BE VERY CAREFUL!
You will not have much choice.
Solution: virtual mentors.
Most information you need is online!
Tons of great videos, audios and books.
7. No one is going to invest in
you!
It is normal and good for
you in many ways.
You have to bootstrap!
Learn about investors
before talking with them.
8. Silicon Valley is quite far away from Ararat Valley.
11,000 km from here, or 12 hours difference.
9. Overrated!
It’s a club: memberships are earned.
Start building relationships.
Contact Armenian community in the
Valley: HyeTech group for example.
11. Like it or not: Armenian market is too small!
No serious investor or entrepreneur will deal
with you if you target Armenian market.
I know you are a patriot – so am I. The best way
to prove it: get successful globally.
Opportunity of lifetime: distribute you products
anywhere in the world, easy and cheap.
12. Forget Business Plans!
Executive summary is more
than enough.
Business Models forever!
Read, learn and try over.
14. It is going to take MANY
years.
You still have very high
chance to fail.
Don’t like it – don’t do it.
You need to have a
strong and powerful
reason to go through
this.
