Larry Jasinski, CEO of OurCrowds portfolio company ReWalk Robotics, which recently filed for its IPO, said, "OurCrowd did their diligence thoroughly, effectively and quickly which was appreciated and valuable for an operating company. Their team has a combination of deep experience, meaningful skills and enthusiasm for their mission. They also have provided key contacts in the US and in new areas for us such as Australia."
