Hi, I'm Micha
I’m a repeat entrepreneur who’s founded a few great businesses (e.g. chorus.ai acq. for $575M), and a few less successful ones.
I'm heads down on my latest venture,
Somite.ai, which is redefining
Cell Therapy with Artificial Intelligence.
I’m also a serial company builder. Which basically means I help founders build new companies.
​
What I do
Being present at the birthing moments of a startup is exhilarating and awe-inspiring. Being invited to help with the process is humbling.
I’ve been lucky enough to do this quite a few times. What I do varies from company to company. Sometimes I introduce founders and help build a founding team, other times I help craft an initial positioning or distill the value prop (see some of my stories here).
I’m currently working on my new venture (Somite.ai), but at the same time I do my best to help companies at the very early stages.
I'm happy to chat, here's a bit more about how to work with me.
A bit more...
I have an MSc in Mathematics (algebraic topology) and a PhD in cognitive sciences (formal semantics).
I’m passionate about the marriage of language and algorithms, and believe that improving NLP technologies is a critical step in achieving AI’s ultimate goal of empowering, rather than replacing, humans.
​
I'm passionate about helping entrepreneurs, and together with Miki Shifman and Nitzan Shapira, I founded Tel-Aviv Founders Club - a safe place for founders and entrepreneurs to meet, share, consult, and help each other out. As of today it counts over 450 members, including many of Israel's top founders.
​
More recently I founded the TLV-ATX Founders Club, bridging Texas and Israel through entrepreneurship.
​
I live in Austin, TX, with my wife and baby girl, and hope to one day become a novelist and a polyglot.
