I love the web and always busy in creating and inventing new things, I'm playing with computers since I was 12 years old and never stopped since then
When I was 14 years old our father bought us vic-20, my first computer. My brother Ohad (which today is a Yale Graduate computer science professor) and myself were developing games and apps, later on in 1993 I started to play with the internet and startups. In 1996 - before Google - I developed the first multi-language search engine (English, Hebrew, Russian and Arabic) which was purchased (in 1999) by Netvision Ltd. In 1998 I got a phone call from an Israeli radio station which asserted that "running a web magazine with content on the web must be a fraud" - in those times, publishing news on the web seemed to be strange if you were not a news firm! I sold that magazine later on as well.
Between 2002 and 2003 I authored my three books - Barely-Bear Makes Money, "42 Business Pocket Guide" and "The Water Riddle", in 2006 I moved to New Zealand and did 2 years as a senior business analyst for New Zealand Parliament. Since then I initiated a couple of startups as listed in my portfoilo page, and mentored many others especially in the technology and AI space.
