Highlights
7 years with Unistream - יוניסטרים, and excited every single year to work with underprivileged youth 🏆
Along with a dedicated team of great judges, I am proud to be a judge at the "2023 Entrepreneur of the Year" competition of the Unistream organization.
Unistream created a program for underprivileged youth from diverse sectors of Israeli society by harnessing education and entrepreneurship.
I am fortunate to serve as a Steering Committee member of this amazing non-profit organization, and look forward to see what the future holds for the young and promising participants of the program.
Good luck to all teams, and kudos to Rony Zarom, Founder & Chairman of Unistream, for establishing this life-changing organization, as well as to Ifat Bechor, CEO of Unistream, and Adi Meidan, Director of Business Partnerships - keep up the good work.
