🚀 STAN x NY Tech Week | New York Chapter Launch
The global STAN network lands in New York—just in time for NY Tech Week.
Join founders, investors, and operators shaping the future of tech for the official New York Chapter launch of the Science and Technology Angels Network (STAN).
STAN connects the Armenian diaspora with Armenia’s fast‑growing tech ecosystem, creating a global platform for collaboration, investment, and shared growth.
Riding the momentum of STAN’s recent Paris launch and the new LA Chapter, we’re now turning to New York—one of the world’s densest hubs for fintech, SaaS, healthtech, and applied AI.
A panel with STAN partners and angels will explore how we can tap into our global STAN communities—and the Armenian network more broadly—to back globally ambitious founders in these sectors.
PANELISTS
👉 Avak Kahvejian (General Partner, Flagship Pioneering, President, Flagship Labs)
👉 Igor Khalatian (STAN founding angel, Ideal Match, ex-VP of Development at Oracle)
👉 Valentina Poghosyan (Chief Compliance Officer, MongoDB; ex-Meta/Novi, ex-Anchorage Digital, ex-GE Capital, ex-Fitch)
MODERATED BY
👉Avetis Antaplyan (Angel, Co-chair of STAN LA Chapter, CEO of Hireclout)
Select startups from the STAN portfolio (Captain -YC W'26, VOX Wins, Share Vino, Evidenso, Sailfish, AskPetal) will demo their solutions, followed by a networking reception.
