 ADORAM GAASH Managing Director, Israel
Adoram joins GrowthPoint from StageOne Ventures, an Israeli venture capital firm that invested in over 15 companies during the past decade. Adoram co-founded StageOne and served as its Managing Partner, helping ventures grow from inception through product sales, towards expansion or exit. During his tenure at StageOne, he lived in Silicon Valley where he led M&A and other strategic efforts with world-leading technology companies. During this time he worked closely with the GrowthPoint team. Adoram’s 25 years of technology experience as CEO, VP of sales/marketing, and development engineer has given him a broad point-of-view as an investor and board member. As an executive, Adoram has worked with companies such as IBM, HP, Oracle, Cisco, NEC, and Huawei. As an investor, he has been involved in dozens of fundraising transactions and M&A deals including selling two companies as CEO. Alongside StageOne Ventures, Adoram was co-owner and director of LabOne, a Tel Aviv based incubator which created technology ventures and generated deal flow for many Israeli VCs. StageOne’s most interesting success stories include: Guardium, a database security startup acquired by IBM; Trivnet, an e-payment software startup acquired by Gemalto; Octalica, a fabless semiconductor startup acquired by Broadcom; and Crescendo Networks, a hardware-based server acceleration startup acquired by F5. Prior to StageOne, Adoram was founder and CEO of Radwiz, a broadband access startup which developed a revolutionary TCP-IP based DSLAM for small-business clients. Radwiz was acquired by Terayon, now Motorola. Earlier, Adoram served as VP of sales and marketing at the RAD group, with pivotal involvement in major projects such as the radware and radlan spin-offs. Adoram graduated with honors from the Israeli Institute of Technology (Technion) with a BScEE in Computer Engineering. He has an MBA from Tel Aviv University. Among his hobbies, Adoram practices martial arts with his twin boys, plays amateur golf, and takes flying lessons.
