Hilla Ovil-Brenner
Founder & CEO at Yazamiyot
As a woman founder and CEO, I saw firsthand the struggles that women face in this male-centric world, and in 2010 this led me to create Yazamiyot - Women Entrepreneurs, a nonprofit organization, with a clear vision to dramatically increase the presence and number of women entrepreneurs in the Hitech & biotech industries, a community with over 6K members and various programs to help promote female founders through collaboration with leading tech companies, investors and industry leaders.

Yazamiyot was established in 2010 by Hilla Ovil Brenner, and it’s the leading community for Israeli women entrepreneurs. The community has over 7,000 members, supporting each other in various activities. Today, there are relatively a small number of women entrepreneurs.

We are dedicated supporting our community’s entrepreneurs in every step of their startup, by providing them with essential tools, mentoring, networking and knowledge they require to accelerate and advance their ventures into enhanced products and companies.
