Hello World

Hi there, nice to meet you, my name is Yoav Shalev (pronounced Yo-Av Sha-Lev).

I was born in the USA, Raised in Israel.

I lived 4 years in Colorado and moved to a small town in East Texas in the summer of 2021 with my wife (aka Baby Mama) and children.

I have 4 children, a few cows, some bees, fish, cats and dogs.

I enjoy watching films, reading books, live music, flying airplanes and figuring out how things work.

I have spent my entire career building startups, creating new products and services, launching moonshot ventures and taking them to market alongside advising and mentoring entrepreneurs on marketing, advertising, technology, business strategy, sales and automation.
