Summary

Gilad Shriki was born and raised in Israel. He loves the outdoors, and loves to travel. Skiing in a passion of his, and he loves to explore new places in the winter, mentioning that Whistler was his most recent favorite. He started digging tech very early, and his hobbies center around it as well. He loves building things in home automation, like building micro controllers that detect temperature or relay that turn the lights on and off. Gilad has known his current founding team for many, many years, and their last product was bought by Palo Alto Networks. When looking at what was the next big problem to solve, they dug into authentication and figured out - that this was still a major problem in the ecosystem, for developers and from the standpoint of cybersecurity. This is the creation story of Descope.
