My name is Noam Schwartz and I'm one of the CEOs in the 5th batch of UpWest Labs. 

Just some background about me - I'm a Haman Talpiot graduate and spent about eight years as an intelligence analyst both in the IDF army and in private companies before founding my first company.

At UpWest Labs, session #5 is well underway. The teams are spending three months here in Silicon Valley, taking part in a rigorous program, working hard to get their product into the hands of target customers, early adopters and partners.
