September 9, 2009: Armen Berjikly, a Stanford graduate, started Experience Project after first creating a support community for multiple sclerosis patients. How did he start down this path, you ask? Inspired by a friend's diagnosis with the debilitating illness, Armen built a positive community chartered on empowering patients through knowledge. Along the way, the forum portion of the site became the most powerful tool of all. It gave voice to a group of people known to suffer in silence, and the opportunity to be among new friends, those who truly understood each other's challenges. Soon Armen realized that... Everyone has experiences to share. People are not defined by a single experience, but are a product of all of their experiences. The more experiences we share with one another, the deeper the understanding between us. Everyone faces situations where talking with people who "just get it" can be incredibly powerful. After 3 years of painstaking research and development, Armen released Experience Project - the first social network based upon who you are and not who you know. It's now a community that unites millions of people through their shared experiences. He can be reached at www.experienceproject.com.
