About

Gil relocated to the US in 2000 to pursue an MBA from The Wharton School, followed by working for The Boston Consulting Group in New York. He moved to Silicon Valley to join Yahoo!’s Corporate Development group, where he gained first-hand exposure to the Israeli tech ecosystem from the perspective of a US investor, acquirer and customer. This experience inspired him to pursue a path that helps level the playing field for Israeli founders by investing and bringing them early to market.
