Co-Founder at PICO Jerusalem

Elie Wurtman is co-founder and general partner at PICO Partners. He brings 25 years of experience as an entrepreneur, investor and executive. He has a hands-on approach to building companies, preferring to work closely with founders and focus on execution from day one. Elie has been founding, building, and managing technology companies since the heady days of AltaVista. He started his first company straight out of college, took three companies public during his twenties, and the thrill and hustle of entrepreneurship has never faded (even after he lived through the agony of the 2000 tech crash). Most recently, he joined Vroom as Executive Chairman, the biggest online car store in the world, which he helped to grow into a billion-dollar Company in the first year of operation. Before that, he served as Executive Chairman at NJoy, a pioneer in tobacco-free cigarettes and an early investor and mentor to the team at ironSource. Elie was a general partner at Benchmark Capital Israel, and prior to that served as CEO at JVP Studios in Jerusalem.

Elie sits on the board of several companies and non-profit organizations, including Siftech ( Jerusalem’s first startup accelerator); Regavim (a high school education project that integrates agricultural work with academic studies); New Spirit (and NGO that harnesses young creative forces to build a thriving creative economy); Machshava Tova (an NPO providing technological access and training to underserved populations in Israel); the Batsheva Dance Company; and the Jerusalem Botanical Gardens.

In parallel to his work at the PICO Partners, Elie invests time and passion into PICO Kids, a breakthrough initiative he launched three years ago to enrich and strengthen STEEM education (Science, Technology, Engineering, Entrepreneurship, and Math) in his hometown of Jerusalem. You can also find him pottering about his Bat Shlomo Vineyard, in the north of Israel. In addition to producing fine wines, Bat Shlomo runs an enrichment program for high schoolers which has resulted in a marked improvement in grades, motivation and self-esteem.

Elie received his bachelor’s degrees from Columbia University and the Jewish Theological Seminary. He’s married with three children and resides in Jerusalem and Caesarea.

Flam Winery

The Flam winery was established in 1998 by Golan, Gilad Flam and their mother Kami, with the vision of producing wine at the highest international quality. Golan and Gilad absorbed their love for wine from their father, Israel, one of the country’s wine industry pioneers. Their mother, Kami, has contributed greatly to the development of the family’s winery, harnessing her business experience for the task. The younger sister to the Flam clan, Gefen, joined in and added her young and innovative approach. The unique combination of accumulated family knowledge of winemaking, experience, and never-ending passion for wine has placed the Flam family as the first wine family of Israel. From their website: “Our winery is our home. This is where our wines are born, where they are left to age in our cellars and where we like drinking them most. We welcome you to celebrate with us and enjoy our breathtaking views of the Judean Hills, indulge in the calm and the mountain air. You may include a guided tour of the winery and a professional degustation, or simply enjoy our wines with your guests.”

Gatsby Cocktail Room

Located somewhere in a time warp on Hillel Street in Jerusalem’s city center, Gatsby is a vintage 1920’s speakeasy that has taken Jerusalem by storm and kindled a fire for perfectly mixed cocktails. The journey starts when you finally find your way to the unassuming, unlit entrance and enter the small welcoming room, adorned with 20-style lamps, counter and bookshelves. If you’ve made a reservation (or you’re lucky enough that they have room for walk-ins) the magic starts when the hostess slides open the bookshelf and your senses are bombarded with sounds of swing, jazz and lively conversation, the smell of simmering herbs and the sight of a bar right out of 1925 Manhattan.

Owner & Co-Founder at Flam Winery
