The Israeli Business
Forum is pleased to invite you to:
PIONEERING ISRAEL’S NEW SOCIAL-ECONOMIC ERA:
The Role of the Creative Class
Speaker: Erel Margalit, founder and Managing Partner of JVP
(Jerusalem Venture Partners)
|
Sixteen years ago Erel set the tone for Israeli venture
capital investing by creating a new model that combined a
hands-on management approach with international market
creation strategies. Under Erel’s leadership JVP helped
build numerous technology companies that are today global
enterprises with traction in Israel, United States, Europe
and Asia.
In addition to helping to orchestrate the $4.82 billion sale
of Chromatis to Lucent Technologies in 2000, Erel
successfully led fifteen exits with such companies as Netro,
Precise, Scorpio, Fundtech, ViryaNet, Jacada, Paradigm
Geophysical, MagniFire, Native Networks, Cogent and Allot
Communications. He was the first Israeli to appear on
Forbes’ Midas List.
Currently, Erel focuses on media technologies, combining
projects in the fields of animation and gaming that bring
together engineers and artists into a new mode of thinking.
In 2002, Erel founded JVP Community, a non-profit
organization dedicated to building a better Jerusalem
through The Lab, a center of performing arts aimed at
encouraging creative activity in Jerusalem and The Community
Empowerment Program, a holistic approach to narrowing
educational and social gaps in four of Jerusalem’s
underprivileged neighborhoods. Erel sits on the Board of
Trustees of The Hebrew University, chairs the Technion’s
Jerusalem Scholarship Committee, and is a major supporter of
the Israel Museum. He holds a Ph.D. in Philosophy from
Columbia University.
Erel is married to the artist, Debbie Margalit, and they
have three daughters.
