Silicon Valley
Founder & CEO
Shay Banon
Shay is founder and CEO at Elastic (NASDAQ: ESTC) and advisor to the TechAviv fund. Shay is fascinated with search ever since he tried to build a recipe app for his wife in 2004, a journey that led to him writing the first few lines of code for Elasticsearch in 2009 and later founding Elastic in 2012. Elastic went public in 2018 and is valued at over $11B as of Dec 2020. Shay believes finding beauty and excelling is a combination of perspective and grit. As someone who got into computers by counting the number of job postings in the newspaper, he loves building things - a product, a community, or a company - and the process of acquiring the knowledge to do so.
