Gur Shomron is a writer, poet and technology entrepreneur and inventor. He co-started his first technology company, Quality Computers, at the age of 22 and took it public in Israel. He continued his career as an entrepreneur and investor, and spent 13 years in the U.S. building high technology companies. At the same time he started writing science fiction. In his first (as yet unpublished) book, “A Message From Nowhere,” Shomron envisioned a network similar to the Internet over 30 years ago. His second books, NETfold, was selected by Kirkus in 2014 as one of the best in its category (Indie). It describes a virtual world where people have twenty four times more time, and can live alternate lives. NETfold was published in Israel by the Modan Publishing House.
Currently, Shomron divides his time between writing, charity and serving as chairman of various Israeli technology companies. He is the chairman of WalkMe, a world-leading company in the “Internet Guidance and Engagement” field, and of Coldfront, which develops medical devices for the treatment of brain stroke.
