Israel is becoming a unicorn factory, and here’s an opportunity to meet the founder of one such company!


As CEO and founder of Verbit – the world’s leading transcription and captioning platform – Tom Livne is eager to share how he took the $30B transcription industry by storm, achieving a unicorn valuation of over $2 billion only five years after the company’s inception.

Before entering the startup world, Tom had a successful career in law, where transcripts are essential. He often found himself dissatisfied with the slow turnaround time of transcriptions, but did not have the tools as a lawyer to tackle this issue head-on. Tom was also a regular Startup Grind community member, exactly like you. And so in 2017, he decided that he was more passionate about entrepreneurship than working as a legal advisor, which is when he founded Verbit, an AI-powered transcription and captioning platform that achieves high accuracy by utilizing its world-leading hybrid platform: AI-driven automated transcription services coupled with hand-picked, professional transcribers. He told us back then about his idea and his vision.

This was a solution to a burning problem, and the Verbit Company now serves as an essential partner to 3,000+ businesses and institutions within the education, media, and corporate sectors. Its vertical-built voice AI solutions deliver the necessary tools to create engaging and equitable experiences that not only meet accessibility guidelines, but make verbal information searchable and actionable.
