About this event

We're very excited about this upcoming event!

Emmanuel Benzaquen and Maty Siman have been growing Checkmarx together to global scale since the company's inception in 2006. In March the control of the software security company was sold to a U.S. private equity firm in a cash deal at a valuation of $1.15 billion. The regular challenges of an M&A deal were compounded by the Coronavirus lockdown.

With offices in nine countries and customers across 70 countries, Checkmarx has a story that will serve as a source for insights and inspiration to Entrepreneurs all around the globe. It delivers pride to the Israeli startup scene and we're very happy to host its founder & CTO and CEO together on one stage.

This event will be hosted jointly with The Jerusalem Post and moderated by journalist Hillel Fuld. Hillel is a tech blogger, and he collaborates with tech giants to transform Startup Nation to Scale-up Nation.

Following the fireside chat and audience Q&A, we'll continue with business networking over virtual breakout rooms.

It's going to be a super interesting and high-quality event, so don't wait to get your tickets! See registration link below.
