Her practical insights on navigating growth stages were particularly impactful for our founders. 📈 Jenny do Forno, Chief People Officer at TouchBistro, delivered a masterclass on people strategy in high-growth environments. Drawing from her 25 years of experience with startups and her time at OMERS Ventures, Jenny provided our founders with actionable frameworks for building and scaling teams effectively. 👥 Stephen Shedletzky captivated our cohort with transformative leadership principles that resonated deeply with our founders' current challenges and growth aspirations. The interactive session sparked meaningful discussions about authentic leadership in the startup ecosystem. ✨ We concluded the day with an introduction to wellness opportunities and a tour of the Prosserman JCC from the Fitness team, reinforcing our commitment to supporting founders' holistic development. Each founder is gifted a 6-month family membership. 💪 The engagement and thoughtful questions from our Cohort 2 founders demonstrated exactly why they were selected for this program.

Thank you for these heartfelt words, Sarit! Seeing founders like you maximize these learning opportunities and apply them directly to Seeteria's growth is exactly what makes the ChaiTech program so special. Uri's mentorship exemplifies our commitment to connecting Jewish tech founders with world-class leaders who can share both their expertise and lived experiences. We're thrilled that you found both the in-person sessions and Uri's book so valuable - this kind of deep, practical learning is core to our holistic approach. Looking forward to continuing to support your founder journey and watching Seeteria's continued success! 🚀 #JewishTechFounders

Having participated in several accelerators in the past, I thought I knew what to expect, but the ChaiTech accelerator program has genuinely exceeded all expectations. Thanks to ChaiTech and the Ontario Jewish Startup Network, I had the remarkable opportunity to spend two days learning from Uri Levine— the builder of the unicorns Waze and Moovit, and so many other successful startups. It was an unforgettable experience that left me energized and excited to bring new insights to Seeteria. Over the weekend, I immersed myself in Uri’s book, Fall in Love with the Problem, Not the Solution, and I’m beyond inspired, motivated, and driven. While those two days offered a firsthand look at what makes Uri’s approach so impactful, diving into the book has deepened my understanding even further. It’s already a resource I know I’ll revisit when facing key decisions in Seeteria’s journey. Huge thanks to ChaiTech and the Ontario Jewish Startup Network for making this unique learning experience possible!

We're thrilled to see your progress, Rinel! 🚀 Your commitment to developing NextMini and tackling such an important challenge in the #EdTech space is exactly why we created this incubator. Uri Levine's wisdom about simplicity resonates perfectly with your mission to make social and emotional learning accessible to children. Your vision for combining interactive storytelling with custom sensory toys shows exactly the kind of innovative thinking we aim to nurture at ChaiTech. Can't wait to see how you'll apply this week's team-building insights to grow NextMini further! Keep sharing these valuable takeaways with our community - they're inspiring for all entrepreneurs on similar journeys. #StartupLife #Innovation #FounderJourney
Excited to announce my new venture, NextMini 👣, is already on Week 2 of the ChaiTech incubator, and the energy is electric. Grateful to be surrounded by such passionate and humbling founders to learn from, collaborate and bounce ideas. And special thanks to speaker Uri Levine (2x unicorn founder of Waze and Moovit), who gave a 2 day lecture around 1 key theme: as founders, we often overcomplicate things, and the key to success lies in simplicity. At NextMini, we’re building an #EdTech mobile app to ensure the next generation of minis has the necessary knowledge and tools to become socially and emotionally resilient. We’re weaving the classic #SEL (Social and Emotional Learning) method into interactive storytelling, and in Jan 2025, will be introducing custom sensory toys tailored to support each child’s unique needs, including ADHD, autism, etc. Looking forward to diving into this week’s topic - Building a Worldclass Team.

We love how you've applied Uri's problem-solving principles to create three innovative solutions with HEALI! Combining pain relief with support in fashionable, easy-to-use tape is brilliant. We are thrilled to have you in Cohort 2 and can't wait to see what you develop next! 🚀 #Innovation #SportsTech
Co-Founder/CEO @ Heali Medical I Pain Management l Recovery | Wellness | Magnesium Infusion | Self Care I UNLOCK THE INFUSION I Dragon's Den S17 E4
INCREDIBLE TAKE AWAYS from Co Founder of Waze Uri Levine I recently had the amazing opportunity to attend a lecture hosted by Co Founder of Waze Uri Levine. Hands down this might be my favourite app – avoiding traffic through the streets of Toronto and turning to WAZE to save me has become a ritual. What an honour to learn business secrets from such a guru. The foundation of Uri’s lessons are built around the principles of “solving the problem”. As I reflected on HEALI’s journey it was apparent that not only are our current products solving a problem we are solving 3 big ones: We have solved the old dilemma of having to choose between Messy Pain Creams for Pain Relief and Kinesiology Tape for Support – Prior to HEALI, creams would loosen the adhesive of the tape itself. Solution: HEALI has infused natural ingredients directly inside the tape to allow for Pain Relief, Faster Recovery while still providing support- Why choose when you can have it all in one. We have created an alternative to HEALING being boring. Solution: Fashionable choices that are meant to be seen and worn proudly – options to match any workout outfit and team colours – see you later ugly pain patches and boring Kin tape styles. HEALI is changing the game of the old adage that Kinesiology tape is just too hard to use. Solution: Our infused ingredients make applications simple – no perfect application or lengthy videos are needed – just peel, stick and cover any sore area and let the infusion do the work While solving 3 important problems (aka - Trifecta, 3 pointer or HATRICK definitely has a nice ring) we will continue to try and address bigger and better problems as we develop our next line of HEALI products – STAY TUNED !! A massive thank you to Chai Tech Accelerator and everyone who made this learning possible: Chris Carder Daniel Warner Kelly Yefet Dylan Herman Karen Nussbaum Zach Lieberman Heather Sloan Akash Shetty Alex Plotkin, MSc, CISSP Alex Levin Daniel Moss Demi Bolk, MMGT.

I don't really post here but this is TOO GOOD 🌟 and I just cannot, not share: 📢 Exciting news!! I have joined the ChaiTech Accelerator as Founder in Residence 🚀 ChaiTech is a one of a kind business accelerator all about empowering Jewish founders with the tools, mentorship, and network needed to scale our startups on a global level. 🚀It is truly the business school I needed but never had that will help me amplify my results and move forward faster, with maximum impact towards my ultimate mission: For babies and young children to be understood so that the next generation is the healthiest most resilient yet. On our first day - I've learned that other communities have had these types of accelerators but there weren't any for Jewish founders. Now more than ever - this type of support from the Jewish community is needed as we navigate a new wave of very old hate. This accelerator started this week with multiple 🤯 and has already brought the most incredible speakers and wisdom to last a lifetime and we're only getting started 🙌 I am grateful for this incredible, invaluable opportunity. What a blessing to be a part! I will post more about my learnings (hopefully...as life with littles can make that tough and unpredictable). Do you or someone you know wish to also get to do ChaiTech?! you can too! 👇 If you or someone you know is a Jewish founder - you HAVE to check out this incredible opportunity. I am seriously having FOMO on your behalf. And actually on mine too because I only get to do this once. 🙏 With gratitude and thank you to my fellow participants, incredible speakers and: ChaiTech Ontario Jewish Startup Network Schulich School of Business - York University Ontario Government
