Samuel Cardillo

I was born in Belgium in 1995, and as far back as I can remember, computers have captured my imagination. At age 4, the Commodore 64 gave me a first taste of this technology, and it opened my eyes to the sheer limitless opportunities of developing software. This fascination persisted -when I was 8, I built my first website-, and it steadily increased as I learnt additional programming languages.

I left school at fourteen to pursue my IT passions. I taught myself the principles of software development and cyber security, and immediately proceeded to work. I got involved in a project involving various governments and research institutions. To widen my professional horizon and further my skill set, I embarked on a series of jobs and projects, in both the business as well as the public sector.

Based on my own experiences, I have started to mentor several Israeli startups. I enjoy guiding them through the journey of creating and developing their ideas, and turning them into a reality. It is my firm belief that the ability to mobilize and motivate a team, even in times of challenges, is a key pre-condition for the kind of synergy that is necessary to the ultimate success of a startup.

Innovation and creativity are at the core of my vision for the future: I am fascinated by the disruptive potential that wearable devices, open-source technologies, and web-based applications have generated, and how they might help humanity resolve some of the most pressing problems of our time.
