    Armenian Collectly to share Western experience within Y Combinator acceleration program

    U.S.-based Armenian Collectly startup, which provides machine learning based system of debt management for corporate clients, currently participates in the acceleration program of Y Combinator, one of the most popular accelerators in America.   

    Co-Founder and CEO at Collectly Levon Brutyan told Itel.am that he wanted to share Western IT experience with the Armenian startups in the style of Y Combinator. 

    Open Office Hours initiative has operated at Y Combinator since 2015. It gives IT representatives from developing countries an opportunity to establish contacts and receive valuable advice from Y Combinator partners or acceleration program participants, connecting them through Skype face-time conversation, depending on the geographical location.

    Participation in Open Office Hours is free of charge. Armenian startups can register here.
     
    “I honestly believe in the concept of "give back to community, so I have decided to check if there might be a need/wish for Armenian based startups to have YC-style Office hours with me. My goal here is to share the critical perspective from the best entrepreneurs in the world with Armenian startups to help them win the war. As a founder I understand how difficult it is to push things,” Levon Brutyan remarked.
