Jonathan Medved is a serial entrepreneur and according to the Washington Post “one of Israel’s leading high tech venture capitalists”. Medved currently is the founder and CEO of OurCrowd, the leading global equity crowdfunding platform for accredited investors and angels. OurCrowd has $1.2B in commitments and has made investments in 200 companies and funds, and 30 exits since its launch in February 2013. Venture capital has long been inaccessible to the majority of investors who don’t have $5-$10m available for a limited partnership.
