BIO

Adi Bittan founded OwnerListens.com and IMPOWER Solutions because of her passion for helping local businesses and for providing great customer service. She believes both business owners and customers benefit from communicating directly through OwnerListens instead of exchanging public blows online. With her partner, Oren Dobronsky (of Oren’s Hummus Shop fame), Adi designed an innovative distribution method to crack the elusive local businesses market. A big believer in giving back, Adi mentors student entrepreneurs at Stanford and Berkeley in addition to her work with UpWest startups. She specializes in customer development and lean startup methodologies she learned from her mentor, Steve Blank and recommends all founders read his blog. Prior to OwnerListens, Adi founded Stat Capital and worked at Clarium Capital, Google and as a regulator for the Israeli government. Adi holds an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, an LLB and an LLM (magna cum laude) from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
