Founders Meetup: Relocation pros&cons
Bereisheet Tech, in collaboration with PwC Israel, is happy to invite you to its first-ever event in Israel! In this founders' intimate event, we plan to meet, greet, and discuss, unfiltered and first-hand, about the pros and cons of relocation to the US, from founders who have done it before. Join three founders who have relocated to the US and ask them anything you can think of:
TJ Gonen is a seasoned cybersecurity entrepreneur and investor with over 30 years of experience. Currently, he serves as an Operating Partner at Nautic Partners, where he spearheads all cybersecurity investments for the Providence-based private equity firm. In addition, TJ serves as a board member and advisor to several early-stage cyber startups.
Prior to joining Nautic Partners, TJ founded and successfully exited multiple startups. His most recent venture led him to Check Point Software, where he built and ran their cloud security business unit after his cloud security startup was acquired in 2020. An Israeli native, TJ has resided in the USA since 2009.
