The "ancient nation" still wants to promote the slogan "technological nation"
Armenian startups have managed to attract hundreds of millions of investments
Osman Gunduz, Director of the Multimedia Information Systems Technology Center, President of the Azerbaijan Internet Forum:
David Baghdasaryan, the founder of the Armenian startup Crisp, said that over the past year, Armenian startups have attracted $ 69 million in investments.
For example, Crisp - $ 14 million, CoinStats - $ 1.2 million, Scylla AI - $ 3.7 million. $, 10Web - $ 2 million, InSpace - $ 6 million, SuperAnnotate - $ 14.5 million, SoloLearn - $ 24 million.
ServiceTitan, an Armenian startup with close ties to Armenia and based abroad, was able to attract $ 700 million, CodeSignal $ 25 million and Disco $ 13.5 million.
At the same time, I have recently noticed that startups founded by Armenians, Aarki 150 mln. $ and Epic! Sold for $ 500 million.
Baghdasaryan said he had no choice but to form a technological nation.
Thus, it seems that the Armenians have already abandoned the slogan of "ancient nation" and intend to gain the status of "technological nation".
Let me note that the amounts listed above were very large figures for Armenia.
It is felt that the Armenian diaspora, Armenian investors are promoting technology and innovation as a way out of a defeated country.
I hope that NRYTN, VXSI State Agency, KOBIA and other organizations responsible for startup and innovation ecosystem in our country are aware of these figures.
With this move, we can predict that in the coming years, the Armenian budget will be able to receive large sums of money from revenues from the ecosystem.
P.S. I do not mention the name of our Innovation Agency as a responsible body because I see that this Agency is something like "no" to the competent authorities.
In the past few days, no one from this organization was present at NRYTN's meeting with startups. It is very unfortunate that we will not be able to build our business in 2-3 years. "
