Before moving into venture capital, Moshe Zilberstein built and programmed computers, worked in computer security during his military service, co-founded the early social network Odigo, and held product roles at Intel, Microsoft, and ExtraHop—giving him a builder's eye for spotting real pre-launch demand, like the tens of millions of dollars in pipeline VAST Data had before it even launched. He looks past whether an AI model works to ask where a startup's real advantage will be once models become common, believes Israel's edge in AI lies in making systems faster and more reliable rather than building the biggest models, has pushed for shared national compute infrastructure so no single startup has to build it alone, and expects AI to boost human-led work in fields like hospitality, education, and healthcare even as it automates many blue-collar jobs.
