I seek base reality. I'm likely to fail so in the meantime I hope to contribute value to the world by building meaningful companies and helping others do the same. I’m the managing partner of the TechAviv Founder Partners fund and run the TechAviv Founders Club. I founded BillGuard (Acquired by Prosper) to help people get control of their finances, saving our customers millions of dollars in wrongful charges and over-spending.  I founded Pando Networks (Acquired by Microsoft) to optimize the Internet and Fan Networks to empower artists. 

I've also had a few "real jobs". I've served as a founding board director at CloudLock (Acquired by Cisco) and Pond5, and as an innovation advisor to the White House. Men and women in the arena inspire me and I consider it a privilege to help them. I created the TechAviv Founders Club to help Israeli founders succeed by harnessing the collective energy, knowledge, and networks of the global Israeli startup community. I mentor young founders, invest in the very best, lecture on entrepreneurship at Stanford and Columbia business schools, and occasionally podcast.
