About Blackboard
Where experience meets innovation. Where builders fund builders.
Our Story

Leadership
Yoav
Founder & CEO
With over two decades of experience building and scaling startups, Yoav brings deep technical expertise and operational knowledge to every investment and product decision. Having navigated the challenges of startup life firsthand, he understands what founders need to succeed and builds solutions that actually work.
His vision for Blackboard stems from years of seeing talented teams struggle with the same fundamental problems: slow development cycles, complex toolchains, and difficulty accessing early-stage funding. Blackboard exists to solve these problems at scale.
