The Speakers
Tal Kollender.
Tal bootstrapped Remedio (formerly GYTPOL) from napkin sketch to $300M valuation without raising a single dollar of VC funding. Building profitably from day one, she grew the company through word-of-mouth to serve Amazon, Coca-Cola, and Check Point. She's been named Cybersecurity Woman Entrepreneur of the Year 2023 - and more recently, Remedio has been selected by Forbes Israel's "Next Billion Dollar Startups 2025" list.
Alon Yariv.
Serial founder who's experienced the full startup lifecycle. After winning first prize in the StartUp+ competition with Qubex, Alon co-founded Atero AI in July 2024. Just one year later, the AI infrastructure company was acquired by Crusoe Cloud in a $150M deal -proving that timing, product-market fit, and execution can compress years into months.
