Leave a Comment / Founder, Product, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

Wix.com Ltd, developed by the company Wix, which is based in Israel, is essentially a cloud-based network advancement and improvement platform. The platform enables customers to create their own mobile or HTML5 websites using just drag and drop tools. Users can use the platform to add plug-ins, facilitate e-commerce, perform online marketing, create contact forms, engage in email marketing and even create forums for their websites. The company has functioned on a freemium model, with significant revenue coming from premium subscriptions taken by people.

The company grew tremendously since its inception and now has offices around the world, including ones in Canada, Germany, India, Lithuania, the US, and even Ukraine.

About the Founders

Avishai Abrahami served in the Israeli Defense Forces in the computer intelligence unit from 1990 up to 1992. After his stint with the military, in 1993, Abrahami co-founded a software company called ALT Ltd and worked as its Chief Technology Officer until they sold it in1997. Later in 1998, he co-founded a company that dealt with data centre management software development, called Sphera Corporation, and served as the Chief Technology Officer for two years. He then shifted to the position of Vice President of Marketing for the next three years. He then left the company to work as the Vice President of Strategic Alliances between 2004 to 2006. Abrahami served as the CEO of Wix.com and since 2006 was a Board Chairman from 2013 to 2016. Following his break, he was designated the Honorary Chairman and currently serving as a Board Member of SodaStream International Ltd.

Nadav Abrahami, who is Avishai’s brother, is the Vice President of R&D and is a programmer who had earlier worked at Oberon media.

Founding Wix

Avishai Abrahami, Nadav Abrahami, and Giora Kaplan founded Wix in 2006. Being Israelis themselves, they opened their first office in Tel Aviv with backing by venture capitalist investing firms such as Insight Venture Partners, Mangrove Capital Partners, Bessemer Venture Partners, and Benchmark Capital. Their first product was launched in 2007, via an open beta mode on Adobe Flash.

Due to the high functionality, ease of use and a large number of options made available, the product grew and gained momentum, and by 2010, the company had amassed 3.5 million users. Following this, Benchmark Capital and Bessemer Venture along with Mangrove Capital pushed for a Series C funding which brought in an extra $10 million. The money led to further developments in the software and by 2011, Wix had almost doubled in volume, with over 8.5 million active users. This, in turn, led to another round of funding, which was able to raise $40 million, making the total funds raised $61 million.

Wix: A Win-Win

By June of 2011, Wix had launched a Facebook module and hence entered the social media world. They followed suit in 2012 with a new HTML5 site builder and did away with their old Adobe Flash platform. Wix also launched an app market to sell applications in 2012 and introduced a software development kit that enables people to create web pages with ease. All these new developments helped push the company’s growth, and by 2013, they had over 34 million active and registered users. Once they hit this mark, they opened their IPO on NASDAQ and raised over $127 million. In 2014, Wix acquired an Israeli start-up which was focusing on mobile commerce applications called Appixia. They followed up this with the acquisition of an online restaurant delivery system OpenRest.

This merger paved the way for Wix Hotels, which was launched in August 2014, which was a booking system for hotels and rooms. This hotel booking software also became a part of the Wix Restaurants service which was launched later in 2016. To further their reach in the social media marketing sector, Wix acquired Moment.me in 2015, which was a website builder that doubled as a social media lead generator. The company further expanded its horizons by releasing Wix Music in 2015 to help independent musicians sell their work. By the time, Wix had acquired DeviantArt in 2017, for over $36 million, the company had multiple investments in multiple fields.

Wix is also renowned for its marketing strategies, having created several well-known SuperBowl advertisements, by teaming up with DreamWorks Animation several times. The advertisements were so popular that they attracted over 300 million viewers both through online platforms and social media.

Wix was valued at over $4.5 billion and was the first Israeli company to be valued above $4 billion. The company’s share value closed at a record of $95.8 in 2018, with an ROI of 480% having opened at $16.5 in 2013. Considered to be one of the largest cloud-based platforms in the world with millions of users across the world, Wix is a success story that highlights passion and determination. Abrahami is a true soldier who has weathered multiple storms to get to the position he is in now, and it is his skill, experience, and dedication that got Wix to where it is now. With 42 million users in over 190 countries in the world, it is safe to say that Wix is at a great place right now.

Bell Curve

Julian Shapiro: The Founder of Bell Curve, Marketing Agency and the Mascot of Animation

Leave a Comment / Founder, Inspiration, Marketing, Product, start-up, Story, Tech Story / By

Have you ever discovered your interest in doing something because you were just bored? Well, that happens to many of us, but only a few make it their passion. And, a handful among the few can establish themselves successfully through it. For example, we love playing video games, but that doesn’t mean every one of us turns out to be a game developer, but a guy named Nitish Mittersain did, didn’t he? You should be highly passion driven if you want to live through what you love. And, Julian Shapiro proved to be one of them.

Julian Shapiro, the founder of the Bell Curve and many other online services, started to show interest in coding from an age of twelve. And, the reason he started tinkering with his computer was he got nothing to do after he moved to a new city. Eventually, he started exploring different aspects of computer, and the wonders, one can make if he/she has good coding skills and was undoubtedly carried away by its charm.

Shapiro started his coding journey with Visual Basic 6, and by the time he was fourteen, he was pretty good at what he was doing. He realized that his skills were in high demand, and he could easily make money out of it. So, he started developing websites for small companies, swooping into the entrepreneurial world.

A Great Start

Since Julian Shapiro started as a teenage entrepreneur, he gradually became one of those tech-savvies interested in learning something new every day. Shapiro was very much involved in domain names for startups and companies. But he noticed that most of the businesses have below-average quality names for their companies and decided to work on it. With the existing knowledge of web development, Shapiro started building tools that would analyze around 50,000 domains daily and among those domains which were likely to be worthwhile.

He put a lot of efforts into like building an algorithm for making combinations of alphabets and sorting out the potential names and acquiring them for a few dollars. After working diligently for six months, Shapiro finally made an inventory of domain names, thus selling it to companies for a few thousand dollars each. He named this service NameLayer and released it in August 2011.

Accelerating as a Tech Entrepreneur

After selling NameLayer to Techstars in 2014, Julian Shapiro again went back to his most comfortable place of web development. While creating several projects, he noticed that web animation doesn’t receive much importance, and no such significant modification or improvement was done in that area. Thinking that this hinders the designs of professional web developers, he started working on it.

In September 2013, Shapiro created his own animation engine, Velocity, to improve the tooling of web development through motion animation. The launch of velocity was very effective as people, especially the front-end designers, started using it extensively because they really understood the impact of web animation on marketing. Famous companies like Microsoft and Uber also started using Velocity.

What About Bell Curve?

With Neal O’Grady and Asher King-Abramson as partners, Shapiro founded Bell Curve in April 2017. It is a San Francisco based startup that operates as a marketing agency and conducts growth training programs. Bell Curve, basically, runs advertisements for startups and businesses across the world. Leading companies like Envoy, Streak and Tovala hired Bell Curve to run their advertisement sector.

Today, Bell Curve comprises a team of 9 members, including Julian Shapiro. This new startup is making great progress, but most importantly, Shapiro at the end of the day strictly adhered to what he loves the most, that is, web development. He devoted his career to make unbound contributions in this area of development.

Moreover, the digital content of the Bell Curve is so powerful that the company gives growth talks at Google and Y Combinator.

Other Aspects of Shapiro’s Career

In November 2014, Shapiro joined Webflow, Inc as a Vice President of Marketing. The company was about web development for professionals, something that Shapiro can never turn down. He worked there for ten months.

Julian Shapiro also started his own blog, Julian.com from September 2015. And, he is the only owner of the website. Shapiro also writes in TechCrunch about growth marketing since March 2019.

Another project that Shapiro worked and is worth mentioning is Libscore. Shapiro created Libscore in partnership with Stripe and Digital Ocean to help people understand that at what rate their libraries are actually used by people after putting it on open source. It helps to gather the statistics, thus providing the developer with proper feedback.
