Among Impact Hub Yerevan's most interesting tennants is the 1Armenia foundation.
These guys crowdfund in support of various sustainable projects across Armenia ranging from ecotourism to agriculture, access to clean water and so on.
So far, they have launched their own hiking app which allows you to hire a local guide, find local accommodation and more, complete with its own hiking trails across the country. They have also helped purchase family-size green houses, developed the organic honey industry, and much more.
Their office is open to visitors, just make sure to give them a heads-up first. Be sure to pick up one of their amazing Yerevan walking guides. You can't go wrong in Yerevan with that map in your pocket.
