Seaside Startup Summit – Armenia 2025

The Seaside Startup Summit is an unconventional, camp-style startup event that has been held annually since 2016, attracting over 15,000 visitors each year.

The 2025 edition will take place on the shores of Lake Sevan, Armenia, from July 20–26, 2025.

This immersive 7-day summit combines micro-incubation, micro-acceleration, mentoring sessions, workshops, pitch battles, and informal networking activities around campfires. Approximately 150 startups from over 50 countries will participate.

Finalists compete for $10,000 in non-equity prizes and have access to a $1M+ investment fund pool. Startups can join free of charge, covering only their travel to Armenia.

Ecosystem partners and accelerators benefit from global exposure, partnership opportunities, and a strengthened international network.
