In the past 17 years i have invested across different industries as a managing partner at J-Ventures ( Unicorns -Datarobot, Visby Medical, Omada, Veev), GP at J-IMPACT, A partner @Rhodium VC ( which invested in the Unicorns - Yotpo, Outbrain and Storedot), Coin Ventures ( Yotpo, Yieldmo) and as an Angel. I see a greet mission beyond the check - how to really bring value add to the companies I’m involved with or advise to. Exits: Compass /Sage, Hopstop/ Apple, Concertio/ Synopsys, Physera/Omada, Conversa Health/ Amwell, Hoopla/ Raydiant, Hexatier/ huawei, Face/ Facebook, Neuroderm/ Mitsubishi, Capital Point/ IPO and others.
Most of my investments were in Silicon Valley ( where I’m based), NYC and Israel.
Parallel to VC investments and consulting, I led creation of eco systems- I headed the Israeli VC association (IVA) and formed the Largest Tech associations in Israel (IATI), was founding member of ICON, INTRO which I also co chaired for 7 years., and J-Angels and the Global VC Congress.
I saw the joy of social entrepreneurship and making the world a better place through NGOs ( Founding team and board members of Shomrim, Board - Jewish federation SF, JFCS, Executive board Fiends of the Hebrew university West coast, Trustees, OPEN university, member of the association of Forward, board of United Hatzalah and other).

When I invest I bring in my experience and network and I mostly try to see how I can bring added value.
