After building, scaling, and selling successful software companies, I now help founders tackle the world's biggest challenges. While I invest across sectors, I'm particularly drawn to climate and health tech innovations.

Our generation has the responsibility and opportunity to build solutions that matter, and with Israel's deep technical talent, amazing scientists, and entrepreneurial excellence, we're uniquely positioned to create category-defining deep tech companies. I'm here to support founders taking on that challenge. As Managing Partner at Meron, I'm proud to be part of a fund with an authentic commitment to founders - not just during the good times but through all times. I focus on being genuinely useful: diving deep into go-to-market strategy and tactics, solving startup dilemmas, and sharing battle-tested insights. I work alongside founders in the trenches as they build something extraordinary.
