About
Vova is a passionate entrepreneur and professional developer since the age of 14 who has always aspired to excellence in every aspect of life. From an early age, he felt a strong love for sports and was a professional swimmer for 7 years where he learned the merits of hard work and discipline.
During his high-school years, Vova worked as a developer in a local startup company. In addition, he was the Co-Founder & CTO of a company that took part in the Israeli Junior Achievement program.
Later, Vova enrolled at Technion – Israel Institute of Technology, rated the best engineering university in Israel. There, he specialized in Distributed Systems & Artificial Intelligence and earned a double major, BSc in CS and BA in Math, finishing cum laude.
While serving in the army, Vova co-founded SircleIt, a social Q&A platform for consumers which leverage the social graph to help users solve their daily problems. He also founded RatingWidget.com, a RaaS (Ratings as a Service) for publishers, eCommerce and websites. During its first 6 months, the widget community grew to more than 30,000 registered users.
Due to disappointing results with SircleIt, Vova and his business partner embarked on a new project utilizing similar elements dubbed Senexx. This system provides a new way to conduct knowledge management for enterprises using NLP and machine learning algorithms.
Vova is a proud graduate of the prestigious startup accelerators – TechStars Boston & UpWest Labs. There, he and his co-founder achieved to turn Senexx from an idea for the future to a company with a truly disruptive product.
