About this event

Join us for a special online session by Startup Grind Jerusalem, where we dive into what it really takes to turn an idea into a revenue-generating business in today’s AI-driven world.

In this event, we’ll host Omri Azulay, Founder & CEO of RatingIQ (also known through UpStar), an engineer with a Master’s degree in Technological Entrepreneurship. Omri has built a company that leverages artificial intelligence to help hotels improve their ratings—and has already achieved sales with customers in Israel and abroad.

This is not just another “startup story.” It’s a practical, honest conversation about building in the AI era: identifying real problems, creating value with technology, and most importantly—turning innovation into paying customers.

During the session, we’ll explore:

  • How to go from idea to a working product in the age of AI

  • What it really takes to reach your first customers

  • Lessons learned from selling AI solutions in global markets

  • Practical insights for founders, builders, and anyone interested in entrepreneurship

    If you're building something—or thinking about starting—this session will give you a grounded, real-world perspective on what it takes to succeed today.
