Everyone has a Story, Including Us...
The Experience Project Story
Armen Berjikly, a Stanford graduate, started Experience Project after first creating a support community for multiple sclerosis patients. Inspired by a friend's diagnosis with the debilitating illness, Berjikly built a positive community chartered on empowering patients through knowledge. Along the way, the anonymous 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...
- 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.
- Anonymity is critical to share all that's important without shame or fear.
After 3 years of painstaking research and development, Armen released Experience Project - the first Social Experience Website. Now a community that unites millions of people through their shared experiences, Experience Project generates meaningful new friendships and touches lives by allowing everyone to simply be themselves, realizing that no matter what they encounter, they are not alone.
