" My outlook toward life is strategic, analytic and human-oriented.
a Personal Note from:
Haggai Yedidya
My career in the hi-tech industry in Israel and abroad took me through many steps, positions, and challenges.
My experience includes being a startup company CEO, raising funds from various investors (venture capitalists, angel investors, chief scientist, etc.), winning high-profile competitions, giving interviews in top TV channels, giving guest-talks to thousands of professionals as well as mentoring CEOs.
My hands-on experience includes content writing, inventing and submitting patents, market analyzes, digital marketing (e.g. online courses creation, website design, SEO campaigns, keyword research, trends analyzes, competition analyzes, SWOT analysis, etc.), branding, and what’s not.
In addition I had a career of a performing artist. I performed as a pianist in more than 20 states in the US.
Everywhere I go, I try to bring added value. I try to leverage my broad life experience as well as strategic and critical thinking skills. This holds true whether I try to obtain a grant from the Israeli Innovation Authority, or “just” design a website. This , in essence, is who I am.
FAQ
Winning Startup Competitions
No. I’ve never paid anything (neither money nor “sponsorship” or alike) to win a startup competition. Rather, the opposite is true.
