Evyatar Ben Artzi & Gila Hayat
Gila was always intrigued by the dynamics of impact-driven companies that seek to reconcile the objectives of ”doing good” while also “doing well” (i.e. making a profit). When Evya met Gila and presented a social problem in the world, namely, the fact that many legal violations go unnoticed every day, she realized that it was actually a risk management problem that could be solved by intelligent AI technology solutions, and an incredible opportunity to change the world for good (with a potentially lucrative business model).
“When Darrow was just 10 employees, I threw an improv session for the company. We realized that building a team meant we needed to play together as a team. When you build a company, you need to first build the company’s culture. We all took our shoes off, played music, and played games from improv theater to try and understand, together, what we want to do in the world. The main improv game we played is “yes, and” – that suggests that an improviser should accept what another improviser has stated and then expand on that line of thinking. We are now 100 employees and still people say “yes and” in Darrow’s corridors, and they don’t even know where it came from. It was a small and fun moment of culture shaping that impacted the way we think and work together, until today.”

“Eran Bielski is honestly not a regular investor. He’s a justice fighter. The first time we met him, he explained how mad he got when he found out his phone bill was out of whack. Second time we met him he explained that he was about to send a complaint to the Telecom Commissioner. Third time we met, we knew we had to work with him. Eran is Entrée for us, and we admire his passion for doing the future justice.”
