I have always been drawn to mobile computing and Internet in my work. I started my first business (Ananas Design www.ananasgroup.com) right after high school - around 1991. Ananas Design was among the first few companies to do branding and premium multimedia projects, and later on - websites for companies in Israel at the time (the Internet as we know it was just early days).  Ananas was all self funded, and grew nicely with customers from the Israeli Defense industry, communications and media sectors.

Following that, I founded Trimus Inc. which offered a groundbreaking technology for viewing the internet in 3D (year 1999), raised capital and headed the company until 2002.

During the past 15 years I have been a resident faculty member and a speaker in various academic institutes, specifically in the field of computer graphics.

The idea of Kotel Notes came to me after visiting the Western Wall and seeing the large amount of tourists who come to the Wall to place their prayers and wishes. It occurred to me that providing this service to Jews all over the world could be a great service. I love the fact that our ancient religion could be combined nowadays with cutting-edge technology.

SW: We have some really amazing things in the pipeline right now. Although I can’t mention all of them forobvious reasons, I can tell you that we will soon release a beautiful application for creating artistic compositions from your own photos called “Photo Skins”, and we are working on a cool social network concept that will help users kill time and meet new people in the process, as well as some business tools that cover some critical missing functionality in the iPhone.

Thanks for your time, Shai.
