Excited to announce that I've officially joined the Vine Ventures, L.P. team as a Partner! 🔥 🚀 I’ve been fortunate to be a part of the team both as an LP and a part-time Operating Partner over the past few years. This change is to a more permanent role working with some of the best people I know Eric Reiner Daniel Povitsky Demren Sinik Isaac Hasson John McIlree Racheli Adler Joe Teplow 🤝 Since exiting Intello I’ve done a lot of introspection and spoken to 1,000+ exited founders (thanks to PEF community growth) about their journeys, learnings, and insights. It’s helped me clarify my purpose: my mission is to help incredible humans find their mission 👩💻 👨💻 I will continue to spend most of my time at the earliest stages of pre-company formation (-1 to 0 stage) with budding, many repeat exited, founders helping navigate the idea maze and identify impactful missions🪽 In addition to the work with Vine, I still intend to: (a) co-build companies: starting from a mission-first ideation process with one founder at a time alongside my forever business partner Shlomo Dalezman (b) support post-exit founders via the PEF community (if you know, you know...) (c) be a present and involved father & husband I'll be based in Tel Aviv 🇮🇱🏖️ and continue to spend a significant amount of time in NY 🇺🇸🗽
Team of champions added another champ. Love you guys
The dream team is forming….
Love to see the collaboration of minds and highest quality people in the game!
🧡 “If you know, you know.” What you’ve built with PEF is amazing. It continues to ripple out and provide countless meaningful connections, most of which you’ll, sadly, never know about. Point C is the best.
Very cool this is now official & public info. Vine is lucky to have you Barak & I'm sure you're going to crush it. If only 1% of the Karma Credits you deserve from your PEF efforts bear fruits (grapes 😉 ), you & Vine will likely be in a very good place. Best of Luck & Mazal Tov
definitely the coolest picture i have ever seen. Even i am intrigued. Can you imagine Arnie Taragin

Literally an all-star cast of my fav peeps. Massive congrats Barak Kaufman Eric Reiner Joe Teplow and crew! #proudLP ♥️👏🏽
