To date, Chen has raised over $146M with Tipalti from the likes of Oren Zeev, Dan Rose, Mike Chalfen and then Greenspring, Truebridge and 01 Advisors to name a few. I was living in the Bay area at that time, moved back to Israel and then did some hobbies and ran some of my ideas, at some point in time called Oren, my cofounder in Tipalti.
