Prior to Aleph, Michael was a General Partner at Benchmark Capital, which he joined in July 2005, and where he continues as the partner responsible for Benchmark’s Israeli portfolio.

Michael has also published numerous books, including The Vanishing Jew, Ben Barukh, and The Tree of Life and Prosperity. He has published two additional books in Hebrew which are due out in English in the coming years: Everyone Can Be Moses and Roaring Tribe.
