Shalom

I'm a french israeli entrepreneur.

My first startup was in 2006 in the V.O.D field called Cinewan. I built what it became Hulu in the U.S but better than Hulu.

After I worked for great companies in France like Priceminister (acquired by Rakuten) or Meetic (acquired by Match.com) , I built in 2010 my second startup called Friendspray, a social marketing company connecting brands and users of social networks to promote brand products to their friends.

In 2012, I was involved in "les pigeons entrepreneurs". Using the bird's role in French slang as the “sucker,” owners of startups had formed a group dubbed “ Les Pigeons ” to show that President Francois Hollande 's new taxes made them the fall guys for France's economic woes. We were protesting the almost doubling of the tax rate on capital gains generated from selling a business in Hollande's budget for 2013. I was one of the 12 startuper founders of this action.

In 2013, I made my "alya" (immigration) to Israel, the startup nation.

I worked for one of the most well backed startup called Mobli (backed by Leonardo Di Caprio and Carlos Slim).

I'm mentoring lots of startups in incubators, such as TheHive, European Pioneers or Google Campus TLV, helping them to improve their products and connecting them to other smart people.

Currently, I'm working on a new project : Pipl
