Armine Galstyan, a Principal at SmartGate VC discusses her journey of a young Armenian woman supporting Deep Tech Founders in the Forbes article.
Here are the key takeaways shared by Armine:
1) Pre-seed companies often require mentorship, technical insight, and a clear roadmap.
2) It is important for investors to ask right questions:
- Do the founders have the right expertise?
- Is the IP and technology meaningful?
- Can we add value?
3) The goal is to become a partner in their success, not a mere investor.
4) Building ecosystems is critical:
- Hero House is the space (Yerevan and in LA) where founders, researchers, and investors exchange ideas and build lasting connections.
- The impact lies in the sense of founder community, where challenges are shared, and victories are celebrated.
