We are thrilled to welcome back Lior Handelsman, GP at Grove Ventures, founder at SolarEdge Technologies, and a global leader in the tech and renewable energy sectors, to HUJI VC Club for the second time! 🎉 Lior's journey began in the IDF's 81 intelligence unit, paving the way for an incredible career that led him to co-found SolarEdge Technologies. During his remarkable 17-year tenure as co-founder and VP of Marketing & Product Strategy, he played a pivotal role in transforming SolarEdge Technologies into a global leader in renewable energy technologies. Lior's expertise in marketing, product management, and business development has been pivotal in shaping the company’s success. 🌍💡 Now, as a General Partner at Grove Ventures, Lior focuses on nurturing early-stage startups, particularly in deep tech and climate innovation within the Israeli ecosystem. With Grove managing over $500M in AUM (notable companies include NoTraffic, Teramount, Protai, Wiliot, Nucleai, Lumigo, and much more), Lior continues to empower entrepreneurs to build groundbreaking solutions that address some of the world’s most pressing challenges. ♻️⚡ ⏩ Lior’s previous session with us highlighted his journey and the key strategies behind his success, emphasizing the importance of adaptability, deep market analysis, making strategic investments, and how to stay resilient in difficult times.
