About

๐—ง๐—Ÿ๐——๐—ฅ Built 6 companies. Raised $1B. Now building the financial infrastructure for private tech ownership. Private tech created trillions in ownership. Yet the wealth remains locked - with no financial infrastructure to move it. โธป ๐—ช๐—›๐—”๐—ง Accumulatorโ„ข is the infrastructure layer for private tech ownership. ๐—ช๐—ฒ ๐—ฏ๐˜‚๐—ถ๐—น๐—ฑ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ ๐—ฟ๐—ฎ๐—ถ๐—น๐˜€ ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ ๐—ฎ๐—น๐—น๐—ผ๐˜„ ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐˜ƒ๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฒ ๐—ผ๐˜„๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฟ๐˜€๐—ต๐—ถ๐—ฝ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ - ๐˜„๐—ถ๐˜๐—ต๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜ ๐—ณ๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฐ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—ฒ๐˜…๐—ถ๐˜๐˜€.

  • Gett, Israelโ€™s #1 mobility platform. Currently generating over $200 million in revenue and more than $15 million in EBITDA. Valued at $1.1 billion just before the war, the company was sold for $200 million after the war broke out. It was my personal biggest failure.
  • The B2B strategy & its premium economics made the company both differentiated & profitable.
  • It delights 1 million people to gett from A to B.
  • GETT has cultivated a talented, brilliant team & entrepreneurial culture.
  • Serving many Fortune 500 companies in its home markets, Israel and the UK, Gett has also developed a unique capability: seamless global roaming for B2B clients wherever they travel. Our spend-management platform and integration with local transport providers enable this effortless experience, allowing Gett to oversee corporate transportation budgets end-to-end, delighting clients globally.
  • This approach positions Gett to set a new standard in corporate ground transportation, much like Zoom did for corporate communication.
