CapricornConnect: People, Potential, Technology.

Show Notes

In this episode of the CapricornConnect Podcast, recorded live at the World Economic Forum in Davos, we sit down with Ani Asatryan, angel investor at BANA Angels.

Ani shares her journey from startup founder to investor and offers valuable insights into what truly matters in angel investing: it’s not just about capital, but about network, knowledge, and hands-on support for founders.

In this conversation, we explore: - The rapid evolution of Armenia’s startup ecosystem - Why startups today are built global from day one - The key challenges founders face when scaling their companies - How artificial intelligence is creating new opportunities for smaller businesses - And why cross-border collaboration is essential for driving innovation

A standout moment: Ani reflects on a successful exit delivering a 20x return in just three years, and the lessons behind it.

We also look ahead: with major developments like a new AI factory and increasing international attention, Armenia is emerging as a promising tech hub.

🎧 A conversation about global ambition, smart investing, and the future of innovation, straight from Davos.
