Until recent Ziv worked at Apple leading various computational photography projects including the famous Portrait Mode that launched with the iPhone 7+ and its derivatives. In 2011 he founded LinX Imaging and served as the CEO until the company was acquired by Apple in 2015. LinX Imaging built the first stereo based Portrait Effect based on dual camera systems which has become a market standard for mobile phones today. The company also developed the first mobile dual camera system that fused a monochrome image with a color image for boosting low light performance and image quality.



Tom Bishop



Founder, CTO



Algorithms expert with 15 years experience in AI/Deep Learning, Computer Vision, Computational Photography and Image Processing. From 2013-2018, Tom developed core technology at Apple powering the iPhone’s Portrait Mode. During his early career as a PhD / Post-Doc researcher, he developed inverse imaging technology and published papers in areas such as De-blurring, Super-Resolution, and Depth Estimation, with applications to novel computational camera architectures including Light Fields and coded imaging. He later lead teams in industry and drove innovation at two startups, applying cutting edge Machine Learning methods to Computer Vision problems, applied to automated Photo Retouching products and large scale image recognition, retrieval and representation learning systems

Board Member, LDV Capital



Peter has spent the last twenty five years creating and growing companies in a wide variety of sectors spanning from financial services to social media, and now semiconductors. In 1996 Peter co-founded Datek Online, which revolutionized the retail brokerage world providing low-cost, instantaneous executions unlike any of its competitors. By 1997 it was the 4th largest online stock brokerage firm. Peter served as Datek Online's CTO, Director, and President until its multi-Billion dollar merger to form the second-largest brokerage firm in 2003. Next, Peter created another startup to bring web and mobile collaboration services to businesses and consumers. Zenbe’s award-winning services served almost a million users before its acquisition by Facebook in 2010. Afterward, Peter became the first CEO of bitly, a link-shortener used in social media. Over the next two years he tripled the size of the team, raised $15M in funding, and grew the revenue ten-fold. Before moving to NYC and working on technology startups, Mr. Stern spent 6 years designing and field testing military R&D projects involving lasers, helicopters, and classified electro-optic sensors. Peter is an active early-stage investor and mentor. He helped start and ran the Open Field Entrepreneur Fund at Carnegie Mellon to invest in early-stage tech companies, and remains on the board at the SwartzCenter for Entrepreneurship.
