I just finished updating my website to better reflect what I’m working on these days. Over the past few months, I’ve taken a step back from hands-on VP/CPO roles to focus on my own projects, advisory work, and exploring new opportunities in AI.
One of the biggest things I’ve been working on is EcoMoat—an AI research project designed to help investors analyze company fundamentals, economic moats, and fair value using AI-driven insights. It’s an exciting intersection of finance, automation, and data-driven decision-making.
At the same time, I’m in the early stages of exploring my own AI startup. I’ve developed an MVP, and it’s currently being tested with several partners. The idea is evolving as I continue to brainstorm, refine, and look for potential co-founders to help shape it into something meaningful.
Beyond my own projects, I’ve been spending time collaborating with great people:
Sagi Medina, working on Blanket, a proptech platform focused on real estate engagement.
Markus & Joshua from Cyanite, where AI is transforming music search and tagging.
Oren & Rami from Uniper Health, an exciting venture that’s worth keeping an eye on.
Most recently, I’ve been evaluating another idea with former colleagues from my time at Viber—people I’ve learned so much from and am excited to explore new possibilities with.
These past months have been a refreshing and inspiring journey, full of learning, new connections, and the excitement of building something from the ground up again.
If you're working on something interesting in AI, product, or investing—let’s connect!
