Ofer's Talk
About the Speaker
Ofer Ben-Shachar Ofer founded RawSugar, of which he is Chairman and CEO of RawSugar, in 2004 on the insight that algorithm-based search had limitations which could only be overcome by adding human classification. He previously founded NetDynamics, acquired by Sun in 1998 for almost $200M, and Noosh, the only one of 40 companies in its space to survive the dotcom crash.
In 1996 he founded NetDynamics, which became the the application server market leader and was sold to Sun Microsystems in 1998. NetDynamics introduced the first Java-based application server product in 1996, and started an industry currently exceeding $6 billion in annual revenues.
After NetDynamics, Ben-Shachar founded Noosh and was Chief Executive Officer during the first four years. Under his leadership, Noosh acquired digiGroups, and created a proven cross-enterprise collaboration technology that was deployed by some of the largest and most prominent companies in the world. Ben-Shachar raised over $90 million of venture capital. He currently serves as Chairman of Noosh.
