Investing for a Better Future
Edi Sheleg is a prominent hi-tech investor and the CEO of Singulariteam investment fund. This private venture capital fund is committed to developing tech-based companies, through the provision of support in the form of capital along with strategic and managerial guidance.
Sheleg studied Business and Information Technologies at IDC, Herzliya, Israel, before going on to complete his MBA at Pace University, New York, where he graduated Summa Cum Laude. His passion and business focus is on advanced technologies in the areas of AI, augmented reality, robotics and virtual reality.
In addition to his involvement with Singulariteam, Edi Sheleg consults and invests in private companies, offering strategic guidance, business development input, and synergy creation via access to his investment portfolio and networks. Identifying technology companies that create positive social change through innovation, he invests his own money and raises funds to assist initiatives he believes in. These investment choices are reflected in the companies he's associated with privately and through Singulariteam.
Focus On Future-Facing Industries
Innovations within the green energy, cyber security and augmented reality industries are prime examples of developments that have strong positive social impacts, and which Edi Sheleg is excited about investing in. These include Israeli startup StoreDot, and its rapid charging smartphone battery, which can recharge a phone in 30 seconds. The future translation and scaling of this technology into electric vehicle batteries, which the company says will recharge a car in five minutes, could bring immense benefits to the world.
Singulariteam raised 300$ million to fund the overseas expansion of Israeli cyber security startup Octopus, whose app-accessible, cloud-based system can benefit hospitals, airports, factories and commercial centers – by analyzing and information from sources like video, traffic, social media, alarms and emergency services.
Singulariteam also backed Infinity Augmented Reality Inc's buzzy product: a technology that projects 3D holograms onto the user's environment, with applications that extend far beyond gaming. In the classroom, the holograms let students study virtual objects as if they were in the room.
