Science and Technology Angels Network (STAN)

The Science and Technology Angels Network (STAN) was established in 2018 as part of the Foundation for Armenian Science and Technology (FAST). Based in Yerevan, Armenia, STAN operates as a global angel investment network focused on tech startups. On July 1, 2023, it transitioned into an independent non-profit organization, aiming to leverage connections within the Armenian diaspora to engage talent and investment across the United States, Europe, and other key regions. STAN invests in early-stage tech ventures with high growth potential, particularly in sectors such as artificial intelligence (AI), medtech, robotics, and agritech. The organization supports a diverse range of startups, including those led by women and those pursuing high-risk, high-reward projects, providing not only capital but also mentorship and strategic guidance.

STAN provides not only capital but also mentorship and strategic guidance to its portfolio companies, leveraging the expertise and networks of its angel investors to support startup growth.
