YOAV SHALEV — LONG BIO

Yoav Shalev runs a handful of software companies from a farm in East
Texas.

He spent twenty years in performance marketing before that, including a
stretch helping take a team from twelve people to seventy-five on the run-up
to its IPO. He does not buy ads for anything he owns now.

By the end of 2025 he had gone all in on AI, and has since built several
platforms with it end to end. Not everything he works on is built that way — some
projects still involve other people — but those platforms were taken from
nothing to shipped entirely with AI.

The companies are SYQEL, an AI-powered live music visualizer used by DJs and
venues; HZP, a patented audio player that retunes any track in real time to
the frequency you want; PingBell, which pairs real-time transaction alerts
with digital signage for e-commerce owners; LineTale, which turns narrative
and historical data into explorable timelines; and SponsoredBy, a public
sponsor wall that gives the people behind a creator's work lasting
recognition. A sixth is not yet announced.

He holds US Patent 11,836,330, covering a real-time method for changing the
tuning frequency of recorded music.
