Gevorg Shahbazyan, founder and CEO of Starlife Group, has been selected to receive the distinction as one of the '2026 Top Entrepreneur of the USA' at an awards ceremony organized by Negocios and Ejecutiva magazines. The event will take place on October 8, 2026, at the EB Hotel in Miami, as part of Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations.
The 'Top Entrepreneur of the USA Awards' recognize business leaders who have demonstrated exceptional performance and leadership in their fields. According to the organizers, the awards highlight dedication, innovation, and positive impact in communities and beyond. Shahbazyan's recognition comes for his impact as an entrepreneur, his contribution to business growth, and the value he brings to every project he develops.
Starlife Group, under Shahbazyan's leadership, operates across multiple stages of the real estate lifecycle, including development, construction, financing, mortgages, brokerage, insurance, property management, and asset protection. 'My vision was simple yet ambitious: to create a single company that controls all stages of the real estate lifecycle,' Shahbazyan told Miami Negocios magazine. '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 evening will begin with a cocktail reception followed by a formal dinner, providing an environment for networking and celebrating achievements. The ceremony not only honors success but also fosters new alliances and collaborations. Organizers describe it as a memorable celebration of achievement, innovation, and leadership in the entrepreneurial community.

The recognition of Shahbazyan underscores the importance of integrated real estate services and the growing influence of Hispanic entrepreneurs in the U.S. economy. By controlling the entire value chain, Starlife Group aims to eliminate information gaps and mutual accusations between suppliers, offering a single standard and outcome. This approach may set a precedent for efficiency and accountability in the real estate industry.
The awards event is part of Hispanic Heritage Month, which runs from September 15 to October 15, celebrating the contributions of Hispanic Americans. Shahbazyan's award serves as an inspiration for aspiring entrepreneurs and highlights the role of business leaders in driving economic growth.
