Hi, I’m Roi - a tech entrepreneur, with 12+ years in technology driven businesses.  I love building stuff. I am currently working on new ideas, both bootstrap and venture funded routes.  

Received - most recently, I co-founded Received, my first startup, which was a Billing & Revenue Automation system for B2B Finance teams. Started Received from ideation, fundraising ($3M), team building (10 people) to early customers. Other than the regular CEO duties (everything), focused on Sales, Marketing, Partnerships and Fundraising. After 2 years, we decided to unwind Received. Incredibly proud of the journey. 

Visa - before Received, I worked at Visa for 7 years. I built Visa’s Strategic Partnerships team and P&L in Tel Aviv. I personally grew revenues by dozens of millions of dollars, working directly with Fintech founders. I was also part of Visa Ventures for most of my time at Visa. 

Things I do really well.                 


                

Zero to One - I am very good at taking an idea to execution, really fast with a sharp focus on results. 

Fintech & Payments - I have deep domain expertise in payments, especially B2B payments. I know other Fintech doamins really well.

GTM - I am a marketer at heart, I love everything about it, from design to writing. I also am proficient in sales and outbound know how and tools. 

Team Building - I have a history of building high quality, fast moving, cohesive teams. I love putting people in the deep water fast, and making sure they can perform well and grow.
