Global Entrepreneurship Network's new Startup Huddle chapter is launched in in Yerevan. The chapter will be hosted and organized by Nejdeh Hovanessian, the Assistant Director at Entrepreneurship and Product Innovation Center (EPIC) of American University of Armenia (AUA). Yerevan joins a global network of more than 60 Startup Huddle chapters worldwide and will host its first event on September 29, 2023.

At each Startup Huddle event, local founders give six-minute presentations outlining challenges facing their companies. Each presentation is followed by a 20-minute conversation with an audience of peers, mentors, educators, and advisers who provide constructive criticism focused on finding solutions and increasing founder know-how. With new founders cycling through each gathering, and previous presenters joining the audience to give back, the community continues to expand while connections deepen.
