Startup Grind Yerevan May 2026 – Building companies, building yourself: 11 lessons learned the hard way

Some conversations stay with you long after they end.

On May 20, we’re inviting Vazgen Hakobjanyan for an intimate evening of stories, reflections, and honest conversations about building – companies, systems, culture, and yourself.

This will not be a typical “startup success story.”

We’ll talk about:
• the fine line between going all-in and knowing when to pivot
• faith during uncertain and difficult periods
• self-discovery, burnout, and finding your own pace
• the untold history of the Armenian startup ecosystem
• radical transparency, organizational culture, and leadership
• why the startup mindset extends far beyond startups themselves

Through personal stories and lived experiences, Vazgen will share lessons on resilience, environment, and what it truly means to build with purpose in a rapidly changing world.
If you’re a founder, builder, student, creator, or simply someone navigating uncertainty and searching for meaningful work – this evening is for you.
