Watch our exclusive interview with Ofer Bengal, Founder and Chairman at Redis.
Ofer is a serial entrepreneur who has built companies across diverse industries - from aerospace and communications to data and AI. He took RiT Tech, a pioneer in intelligent infrastructure management solutions, public on #Nasdaq. Later, he founded Redis, which revolutionized real-time data processing. Today, Redis powers the infrastructure of global giants like IBM, Uber, Intel Corporation, and Adobe.
Ofer takes us back to the early days of Redis, sharing what it truly means to build an open-source company, how they competed against tech giants, and how Redis has evolved over the years.
For all the #entrepreneurs in the audience, Ofer also shared his key advice for founders starting out - what to focus on, what truly matters in the early days, and how can they build a foundation for long-term success
