Jonathan Medved is a serial entrepreneur, angel investor and venture capitalist in Israel's high-tech scene. He is the founder and CEO of OurCrowd, the world's leading equity crowdfunding platform and has been named one of the "50 Most Influential Jews" by the Jerusalem Post.

Medved is a regular television guest on CNN, BBC, CNBC, Bloomberg TV and SkyNews, and is frequently quoted in major business publications. "Start-up Nation," the best-selling book on Israel’s high-tech economy, describes him as “one of Israel’s legendary business ambassadors.”
