Startup Coffee with Ashot Arzumanyan. The route of Deeptech

Join the Technovator community for an inspiring morning over coffee with Ashot Arzumanyan – investor, ecosystem builder, and deeptech visionary.

As co-founder of SmartGateVC, Ashot has been at the forefront of early AI investments, supporting groundbreaking companies like SuperAnnotate and Deep Origin, with follow-on investments from leaders like NVIDIA, Sierra Ventures, YC, and more.

Ashot’s journey bridges science and entrepreneurship, helping to build a portfolio of 33 deeptech companies, while actively shaping ecosystems through initiatives such as Hero House LA, Hero House Armenia, and the Armenia Startup Academy. From AI and Brain-Computer Interfaces to drug discovery at quantum accuracy, Ashot’s insights are a unique window into how cutting-edge science becomes market-shaping ventures.

As Ashot joins Startup Moldova Summit 2025 on April 16th as a speaker, we couldn’t miss the opportunity to create this side event in collaboration with Startup Moldova.

During the Startup Coffee. The route of Deeptech: where science and entrepreneurship join to disrupt the status quo, Ashot will share how deeptech startups are challenging industries, how to bridge the gap between scientific research and entrepreneurship, and how founders can tap into global networks to scale disruptive technologies. The discussion, moderated by Aliona Cotuna, Innovation Program Manager of Technovator, will also dive into how ecosystems like Armenia and Moldova can play a role in the future of AI and frontier technologies.

This event is perfect for scientists, founders, investors, and innovators eager to explore how deeptech can revolutionize the world around us.
