Aviad Maizels

Love sci-fi. Trying to make it a reality. Lives in a continuous "Try. Fail. Adapt. Repeat." cycle. Serial enterpenuer. Created Prime Sense (now Apple) , Bionaut Labs, Imagene Foods, Loop and Q. Dreaming about building a unique & innovative ecosystem that supports loonshots startups, addressing world's largest problems. I even have a name for it - Edge of Chaos. A short once-upon-a-time blurb about me: I was the founder and president of PrimeSense, a 3D sensing company that revolutionized the robotics industry by giving machines the sense of sight. PrimeSense was acquired by Apple Inc. in 2013. In 2011, named one of the Israel's top young leaders of tomorrow by The Marker Magazine, and in 2013 received the World Economic Forum's Technological Pioneer award. A year later, Business Insider Tech mentioned me as one of the most influential Israelis in tech worldwide. Long time ago I served as the head of a technological R&D section within an elite IDF intelligence unit and completed BSc (cum laude) in computer science from the Technion – Israel Institute of Technology + MSc in applied mathematics and computer science from the Weizmann Institute.
