TechAviv February 2013: The MyHeritage Story
Details
http://photos4.meetupstatic.com/photos/event/4/9/e/a/event_196338922.jpegThere are those who say Israel can't produce world-class Internet companies. That we are only grooming "feature companies" to be sold to giants overseas. That's why it was all the more sweet and inspiring to watch Or Yehuda based TechAviv member MyHeritage (http://www.myheritage.com) acquire its massive US competitor Geni.com two months ago. This month we hear and discuss the remarkable story (http://articles.businessinsider.com/2011-07-18/tech/29974987_1_genealogy-and-family-history-computer-security-accel-partners) of the founding and building of one of the world's leading Internet businesses from its founder CEO, Gilad Japhet.
Agenda:
7:00-7:30pm Networking (Pizza by 10bis)
7:30-8:30pm The MyHeritage Story by Gilad Japhet
8:30-9:00pm Discussion and Member Announcements
