We invest $150,000 in 15-20 Israeli companies a year. 140+ first checks, $3b+ combined valuation, $650m+ follow-on raised. In 2018, I co-founded my podcast which is regularly on Israel's top-50 list.

While not jumping on calls or reviewing investment decks, you can find me playing video games, geeking on about political books, and taking long walks (I used to love running, not anymore...).
