Interview Highlights

Q. As a journalist, I find YuviTal quite striking. From the emotional branding standpoint, it has that appeal. How did you come up with the brand name? And please brief us about the history so far.

Along with me, YuviTal was co-founded by two other individuals, namely Lior Klibansky and Lior Levi. The company was named in memory of Yuval Dagan and Tal Ifrach, two young soldiers who tragically lost their lives during a military operation (Operation Protective Edge) in Israel in 2014. I visioned the company to be doing something good, in memory of them. Both Yuval Dagan and Tal Ifrach were part of my unit and I was their Commanding Officer (IDF).

Q. How does YuviTal empower organizations and improve their members’ lives?

Our machine learning technology incentivizes members to make healthier choices, primarily health-centered.
