YOAV SHALEV — LONG BIO (196 words)

Yoav Shalev owns six companies and runs every one of them without a single
employee on payroll.

He spent twenty years in performance marketing, including a stretch helping
scale a company from twelve people to seventy-five in eighteen months, on the
run-up to its IPO. He now grows everything he owns without buying a single ad.

His portfolio includes SYQEL, an AI-powered live music visualizer used by DJs,
creators and venues; HZP, a patented audio player that lets listeners retune
any track in real time to the exact frequency they want; PingBell, which pairs
real-time transaction alerts with digital signage for e-commerce owners;
LineTale, which turns narrative and historical data into explorable interactive
timelines; and SponsoredBy, a public sponsor wall that gives the people behind
a creator's journey lasting recognition. A sixth company is not yet announced.

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

Yoav employed developers for years and stopped two months ago, rebuilding the
operation around AI rather than hiring again. He has shipped more than twenty
products in the last seven months — more than he built in the previous twenty
years combined. He works from a 22-acre farm in Texas.
