AI Revolution Fuels Ultra-Orthodox Tech Professionals Towards Startup Entrepreneurship

The story · English

Approximately 100 ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) programmers and high-tech professionals participated in the "FROM ZERO TO STARTUP" conference hosted by BizLabs at Google for Startups in Tel Aviv this week. The event aimed to introduce tech professionals from the Haredi community to entrepreneurship, providing practical tools to transition from employment to launching startups, covering idea generation, product development, and fundraising.

BizLabs, an accelerator program for Haredi entrepreneurs operating under the Bizmax Center, is supported by the Kamach Foundation, Achim Foundation, and the Jerusalem Development Authority. Speakers included Shmil Levi, a co-founder of Sequoia Capital Israel; Moshe Mazo, a Senior AI Solutions Architect at Google and entrepreneur; and Barak Drori, founder and CEO of UP. Levi outlined key startup creation steps, Mazo discussed principles for Haredi entrepreneurs integrating entrepreneurship with their identity and values, and Drori led a Design Thinking workshop.

Elijah Dinovitz, CEO of Bizmax, noted a significant shift in the Haredi high-tech sector towards entrepreneurship, stating, "We see more and more Haredi high-tech professionals realizing that the experience and knowledge they have gained in the industry can form the basis for their own venture." He emphasized BizLabs' goal of providing the necessary tools and support for this transition.

BizLabs highlighted that a major challenge for experienced professionals is the fear of leaving stable jobs and salaries for the risks of entrepreneurship. However, the AI revolution is altering this dynamic, enabling faster and more resource-efficient initial product development. The conference concluded with strong interest from participants in BizLabs' ongoing programs, with many seeking further guidance on their entrepreneurial journeys. BizLabs indicated this event is part of a broader initiative to support Haredi tech professionals from the initial stages through growth.
