Dr. Erel Margalit is Israel’s and, arguably, the world’s ultimate entrepreneur. Known as one of the chief architects of the startup nation – bringing innovation and entrepreneurial leadership to the country’s most pressing political, economic, and social challenges, he’s the founder and chairman of Jerusalem Venture Partners (JVP), which has raised over $1.6 billion across 11 funds. Margalit also is the founder of the nonprofit organization Bakehila (“In the Community”), which has helped tens of thousands of children in impoverished Jerusalem neighborhoods, as well as Margalit Startup City, which has established seven for-profit and nonprofit regions of excellence that combine technology and education in Israel and internationally.
