Investing in Global Startups Built from Unlikely Ecosystems

Investing in Global Startups Built from Unlikely Ecosystems

The startup map is changing. Are investors looking in the right places?

Where startups are built is no longer necessarily where they are incorporated, funded, or sold.

Founders from ecosystems rarely featured on traditional innovation maps are building global companies from day one. They incorporate in the US or Europe, target international markets, work with diaspora co-founders, and raise capital from global VCs.

Join Manuk Hergnyan, Managing Partner of HERMENICA Capital and Co-Founder of Granatus Ventures, as he draws on 15 years of investing in and around Armenia to explore how these cross-border startup ecosystems work in practice and why they are becoming increasingly difficult for investors to ignore.

What you’ll learn:

  • How global startups emerge from ecosystems outside the traditional innovation hubs
  • How founders structure their companies internationally and access global markets and capital
  • The role of diaspora networks in connecting founders with international opportunities
  • What these changing startup dynamics mean for investors looking beyond established ecosystems
