1 in 54 children actually in the United States is diagnosed with autism. 1% of the world's population has autism spectrum disorder – over 75,000,000 people.

After working for more than a decade with children of special needs, Gayane Hovhannisyan, CEO & Co-Founder of noomee realized those kids who need the most help, are struggling with a shortage of materials and online learning tools. It was a time when Gayane decided to combine occupational therapy and technology, to provide better educational tools for the children in need.

In this Episode of HyeTech Minds, I discuss with Gayane her startup journey and the reasons that brought her to the entrepreneurial world. She talks about noomee that helps children with autism and those who have difficulties in organizing their routine to become more independent in their daily life activities.

In our conversation, we also share ideas on the Armenian startup ecosystem, and the ways it would be possible to expand investment in tech and innovation ecosystems.
