Bosco

In today’s tech age, parenting is a complex task. Children are getting smartphones earlier than ever and parents’ ability to monitor their child’s relationships with the outside world is becoming more challenging. Many parents know this reality all too well, especially as the world becomes a more dangerous place.

Children need to feel safe and secure, but also have the freedom to thrive and develop their independence. That’s why we invented Bosco, a unique solution to a complex problem.

Bosco is a response to the realities of parenting today and gives parents the comfort of knowing their child feels both free and safe. Our application learns each child’s habits and notifies parents’ of deviations. In order to do this, Bosco monitors location, battery, social media habits, and more.

Founder at Emerj

I’m the founder of Emerj, a startup with one clear goal: make work – better. This is a life mission for me and my team, built out of our own experiences as well as of the 600 people from 56 countries that shared (and continue sharing) their experiences with us.
Our solution is an app that connects between employees and mentors for always relevant, always confidential career advice on demand. This would help not only with economic empowerment, but would also build more diverse, more productive and more efficient businesses with inherent growth, and with reduced employee turnover.

Before Emerj (which was previously called Lean On), I helped local brands take the leap and become recognizable abroad by tweaking their social media, content strategy and connections with bloggers and magazines.

Specialties: Blogging, blogger outreach, content strategy, Twitter, Pinterest, Shopify.

I’m the former co-founder of #InsightMediaIL – a social media workshop series for lifestyle business owners and creative entrepreneurs. I started my design blog Rooms and Words on 2010 (after blogging since 2007) and since then I’ve written and blogged for various magazines, brands and online publications.

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.

mifold

Hi, I’m Jon, the inventor of mifold, The Grab-and-Go Booster Seat. When my four children were small, we lived in America. Our children were being driven everywhere by other people as well as ourselves.

Car safety is important to us and we wanted to make sure that the kids always had the correct car seat, but we often found that booster seats were not available; especially when we were carpooling with other families.

So, I thought, if I could make a booster that was really small and really tough, that could easily be taken everywhere, then our children would always be safe, no matter whose car they are in.

And we’ve done it, mifold is mighty small and mighty strong. mifold is the most advanced, compact and portable booster seat in the world.

It’s more than ten times smaller than a regular booster and it’s just as safe. We call it the ‘Grab-and-Go’ Booster seat.
