Founder & CEO
Title of Memoir: Make EVOL the right way
Itai founded and successfully exited two venture-backed startup companies before WEBook. Comfy was the worldwide pioneer of interactive toys connected to PC. Comfy products sold in 14 countries, and the company went public in 1997. Following this successful exit, Itai launched the Neat Group, the first technology company to facilitate rules-based dynamic packaging in the travel industry. Founded in 1999, Neat Group boasted major investments from United Airlines, and its technology was used by Yahoo, Orbitz, and other key travel participants. Neat Group was sold to Cendant in 2003 and then to Travel Port. Itai holds a Bachelor's degree and an MBA from Tel Aviv University and the Kellogg School at Northwestern University. He is the author of two novels and a children's book, and he is an enthusiastic rider of a mountain unicycle.
