Investment thesis

Formula VC backs visionary teams during their crucial growth stages, leveraging an extensive global network of decacorn, unicorn, FAANG, Fortune 100 and MNC connections plus a global advisory board. The firm emphasizes proprietary deal access and positions itself around the fast-emerging Armenian technology ecosystem, which it presents as a strategic bridge between EU and India/Asia. It highlights frontier areas such as quantum computing, space tech, deep tech and generative AI, spotlighting Armenia's growing infrastructure (including an NVIDIA AI Factory), strong engineering talent, and a highly diverse workforce as reasons for early-mover investment there.
