Join us for the first-ever Open Mic Night by Startup Grind Yerevan: a stage for founders to share what they’ve actually learned while building.

This is not a pitch stage. We’re not looking for polished decks or startup promotion. We’re looking for real experiences, practical lessons, honest challenges, and insights that other founders and ecosystem builders can learn from.

Take us behind the scenes of your building process.

For example: How did you find your first customers? What did you learn about Product-Market-Fit? How did you choose your first investors? What hiring mistake taught you something? What made you realize it was time to pivot?

And these are just examples.

If you've learned something through actually building a startup - something that could save another founder time, money, or a few painful mistakes - we want to hear it.

The Format

5 minutes to share one focused experience or lesson

+ 5 minutes to engage with the audience.

One simple rule: No slides. No sales pitch. 🎤

Your startup is the context.

Your experience and learning are the focus.
