Itai Sadan

Itai Sadan founded Duda to help small businesses connect with potential customers anywhere, anytime and anyplace. Itai started the company from his garage in Mountain View, CA, with his high school friend, Amir Glatt, who is now CTO. In 2008 they both noticed how the Internet was shifting towards mobile and the need for a better mobile-first experience to attract customers on the go. Over the years that platform has evolved and today Duda offers a fully responsive website builder targeted at digital marketing agencies and SaaS platforms. Duda has over 1M websites hosted on its platform. Itai's expertise related related to SMBs, digital agencies and online marketing has been cited by USA Today, Website Magazine, The Huffington Post, TechCrunch and more. He speaks regularly on the topics of local, web design and startups at industry events and conferences. Prior to founding Duda, Itai held business development, product and engineering positions at companies such as SAP and Amdocs. At age 21, he also founded InterSight, a start-up for data storage. Itai has a BSc in Computer Science and Mathematics from the University of Ben Gurion in Israel. “Duda” is a variation of “Dude,” which is the main character in my favorite movies of all time, The Big Lebowski. My favorite quote from the film is: "Well, sir, it's this rug I had. It really tied the room together."
