Yesterday, we learned about the legal actions taken against the Armenian startup gg. Although the official press release states that this was part of a process initiated a year ago, there is significant mistrust surrounding this claim. We have strong reasons to believe that these actions were a response to a controversial Facebook post made by gg’s founder during the protests against the government.

❗️We join our voices with those who demand that the government stop reacting in this manner and tolerate protests and criticism.

One more important takeaway for startups and investors.

❗️Zach Coelius: For us the quality of updates is No1 indicator of a startup success. If a startup founder is able to periodically provide meaningful updates to its investors (providing both ups and downs on its journey) it is a good sign for investors.

From my personal experience, I would say that in the best case only 1 out of 10 funded startups realizes how important it is to proactively share updates with its investors.

As a CEO of an Angel Network I am spending a solid time reaching out to startup founders and asking them to update their investors.

Food for thought for the fellow startup founders 🤔

🚀 Exciting News from Berlin! 🚀

Synthflow AI, a Berlin-based startup founded by Armenian entrepreneurs Hakob and Albert Astabatsyan, and Sassun Mirzakhan-Saky, just raised $7.4M in Seed funding! 🎉

Led by Singular and backed by Atlantic Labs and AI leaders, they're set to revolutionize how small businesses use AI voice technology.

You can read a case study of the startup's journey prepared by Bubble. Here are the key takeaways:

No-Code AI Agents for Accessibility: Synthflow AI offers a no-code platform, making AI technology accessible to users without coding expertise.

Rapid Development and Iteration: Synthflow leveraged Bubble to build and launch their product in two weeks, enabling quick iterations and testing.

Community-Driven Growth: Synthflow's growth was driven by the supportive Bubble community, which validated their product-market fit and facilitated rapid scaling.

Congrats to the fellow Armenian founders on this big success!
