Alex Shmulovich at Viola Ventures brings an unusual combination of hands-on startup experience as co-founder of a bootstrapped edtech company that scaled to over 10,000 paying members, plus deep strategy consulting background from BCG and PwC's Strategy & Valuations group. He leads Viola's investments in deep tech and AI with a specific focus on vertical AI applications and defense technologies, and authored the firm's flagship report mapping Israel's generative AI landscape while emphasizing that competitive advantages in AI will increasingly come from superior product execution and go-to-market strategy rather than algorithms alone.
