Eden Shochat

Eden Shochat builds stuff, most recently Aleph, +$330MM venture capital fund; The Junction, voted #1 startup program in Israel; face.com, a massive face recognition API acquired by Facebook; Aternity, the leading user-centric enterprise IT platform, acquired by Riverbed; and GeekCon, Europe's biggest makers conference. Eden grew up in Nigeria, where he was bored into assembly programming for the Z80 chip, graduated into the demo and cracking scenes while being thrown out of high-school but ended up being a (somewhat) productive member of society.
