About Leap Startups

Shani Eisenman, founder of Leap Startups, is a seasoned startup advisor and investor with over a decade of experience in the innovation and tech ecosystem. She has held key roles in venture capital firms and investment platforms, where she has worked closely with deep-tech and software startups, guiding them through early-stage growth, funding, and strategic development.

Shani has founded and led over five startup accelerators, supported more than 90 early-stage ventures, and helped drive successful investments and exits. She is also a lecturer, deeply committed to empowering founders through knowledge, tools, and mentorship.

She holds a B.A. and M.A. in Statistics, as well as an MBA from the Technion (Sumba MBA program) with a specialization in startups and entrepreneurship. With her extensive experience and network, Shani has built strong connections within the global startup ecosystem, providing entrepreneurs with valuable access to resources, investors, and industry leaders.

After years of working closely with founders, Shani identified a gap between the immense potential of early-stage entrepreneurs and the limited support they often receive. Leap Startups was born out of this insight — a platform designed to connect entrepreneurs with the resources, knowledge, and support they need to turn a promising idea into a successful venture.
