About

A hands-on startup entrepreneur with two successful exits, I help ideas become a reality and scale into international businesses. I have worked with large international corporations like Nestle, Danone, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Oracle, and others, as well as with small one-founder startups that I helped become big. In my last gig, just before I moved back to Sydney, I mentored 17 deep tech startups at Helsinki University. Previously, I was the CTO of various B2B SaaS startups in Sydney, working in the event space, fintech, and outdoor advertising—all of which deployed AI and sophisticated technologies.

**My startup exits:**
- 1999: Multi-language search engine developed before Google, sold to Netvision.
- 2002: B2C voucher system sold for more than $10M to a large known European retailer.
- 2005: Peer-to-peer e-commerce system that emulated blockchain transactions before blockchain.
- 2020: I sold iBronto Australia, a web and app development shop, to an Australian actor.
- 2021: I sold "Offix New Zealand" - a shared space company in Wellington, NZ.

My main interests are in AI and SaaS, particularly in Edu-Tech, Sustainability & green tech, mental health startups, property tech, image processing/face recognition, and IoT.

What mentees say

5 out of 5 stars

Working with Eran has honestly been one of the best decisions I’ve made. From the very first call, I felt completely at ease: supported, challenged, and deeply motivated to keep growing. What sets Eran apart is his rare mix of honesty, directness, and genuine care. He tells you what you need to hear, not just what you want to hear and that clarity has been invaluable in helping me stay focused and avoid wasting time, energy, and money on the wrong paths. He consistently goes above and beyond generously offering extra time, insights, and support beyond what’s expected. Eran truly invests in your growth and success, and it shows. His guidance has not only helped me make smarter decisions, but also saved me from unnecessary detours. If you're lucky to work with him, take the opportunity seriously it might just be the shortcut you've been searching for.

Eran went the extra mile to help me multiple time. I'm eternally grateful. He met with me more than what was required of him, used his network to help me and went into the nitty gritty details to help. I'm eternally grateful.
