Yariv Bash, CEO & Co-Founder FlyTrex, Founder SpaceIL | To the Moon and Back

As an engineering student, Yariv Bash dedicated countless hours to hands-on work, sacrificing top grades in order to open doors for out-of-this-world opportunities.

After co-founding SpaceIL, Yariv and his team entered the Google Lunar XPrize competition on little more than a whim and a little bit of whiskey. They built and launched Beresheet, the first private interplanetary robotic mission to the moon. Although the landing proved unsuccessful, it did not deter investors from supporting Yariv's subsequent ventures, including his groundbreaking work in the drone delivery space and the establishment of FlyTrex, an on-demand drone delivery service.

While Yariv’s career is punctuated by soaring success, he also experienced a literal rock bottom. 

Join Gil as he delves into Yariv's remarkable achievements, setbacks, and unwavering resilience.
