Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, will be honored as one of the '2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA' at an awards ceremony hosted by Negocios y Ejecutiva Magazine on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami. The event, held during Hispanic Heritage Month, celebrates entrepreneurs who have demonstrated exceptional performance and leadership in their fields.
Starlife Group highlighted the recognition in a social media post, stating, 'Behind every great company is a leader who never stopped believing in their vision. Our founder and CEO, Gevorg, will be recognized as one of the “2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA” for his impact as an entrepreneur, his contribution to business growth, and the value he brings to every project he develops.'
Shahbazyan's integrated real estate model sets Starlife Group apart. In an interview with Miami Negocios magazine, he explained, 'My vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a single company that controls all stages of the real estate lifecycle: development, construction, financing, mortgages, brokerage, insurance, property management, and asset protection, all under one roof. From an investor’s perspective, this means working with a single responsible operator who controls the entire value chain. There are no mutual accusations between suppliers. There are no information gaps between departments. There is one team, one standard, one outcome.'
The 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA' awards are organized by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines, which are leaders in Spanish-language business media in South Florida. The ceremony will include a cocktail reception followed by a formal dinner, providing networking opportunities for entrepreneurs and community leaders. The event aims to foster new alliances and collaborations while celebrating achievement, innovation, and leadership.
