Einat Metzer shared thisThe past decade has taken me through different vantage points on building and scaling businesses. From a career in VC, to founding an AI data analytics company in life sciences, to corporate leadership roles at the intersection of AI, data platforms and regulated industries. I recently sat down with David Leichner on his Hot-in-Tech podcast to reflect on some of the insights I gained along the way. We spoke about the costly pitfall of deploying AI into human-centered processes, the radical startup-to-enterprise transition in M&A (from “running at sprint pace” to sometimes “walking in sand”), and the inherent challenge in AI deployments (building trust with customers: hard to build, easy to lose). We also spoke about climbing mountains in Nepal, and what my 14-year-old daughter told me about being an aspiring entrepreneur in today’s world (wiser than her age!) Thanks for a lovely conversation, David Leichner! https://lnkd.in/ggVHWrWJ #EnterpriseAI #BusinessTransformation #MergersAndAcquisitionsBuilding AI Companies That Last: Strategy, Trust, and Responsibl…Building AI Companies That Last: Strategy, Trust, and Responsibl…

Einat Metzer shared thisAs the pace at which genomic data is generated accelerates, AI-enabled interpretation is key to unlocking insights, and enabling better patient care. Proud of my team and our Baylor collaborators for demonstrating the accuracy of such approach and the scale it offers in a market undergoing rapid growth. Thank you Genetics in Medicine for the acknowledgement! It's on all of us to keep driving this field forward!

Einat Metzer shared thisIn honor of rare disease day I'm thrilled to share the work that the newly formed Israeli Center of Excellence has been doing at Illumina to increase access to diagnosis for the 300M rare disease patients around the world. Today and every day our mission continues to shorten the diagnosis odyssey for patients and their families and enabling better care. #rarediseaseday2022 #illuminatingraredisease #israelinnovation

Einat Metzer shared thisSo proud of my team! #culturematters EmedgeneEinat Metzer shared thisWhen I first started working at Emedgene, I didn't realize how much it would mean to me to work for an international company at this point in my life/career. The past years in the US have made me realize that the division in my country is about more than a single election. I am grateful to have this connection to humans from so many different countries, languages, continents, so many different religions, beliefs at this point in time. I am grateful that the culture in my company encourages sharing those differences in lifestyle- celebrating the good- weddings half way around the world, new babies, holidays I never heard of- and sharing the tough times- an earthquake in India that I didn't read about in western media, memorial day in a country where everyone serves in the military, a diagnostic journey. My favorite thing about working at Emedgene is when I get to tackle a genomics challenge on our internal communication tool with colleagues in the Ukraine, Israel, India and beyond, in different time zones, but connected by work. The transition from academia to a startup has been an eye opener about myself and my career, a step outside my comfort zone for sure, but I am so happy to have found this company, these people, even if I have never met them facetoface. #culturematters

Einat Metzer shared thisIt's Rare Disease Day - a reminder of what's not rare at all. In fact, there are more people with rare diseases than people with AIDS and Cancer combined. It was difficult to diagnose them in the past as we were limited by human capacity. But today, finally, we have technology that can scale to millions. 50% children. Many in life-threatening situations. I say enough. Let's get this done! Emedgene #rarediseaseday2021 #genetics #artificialintelliegence Thanks #forbestechcouncil for sharing our mission!

Einat Metzer reacted on thisEinat Metzer reacted on thisWhen Eyal Lifshitz and I started Bluevine 13 years ago, we believed technology could fundamentally improve the way small businesses access and manage financial services. Today marks a major milestone in that journey: Bluevine has signed an agreement to be acquired by Valley National Bancorp, the parent company of Valley Bank I’m especially proud that the technology we’ve built — and the incredible engineering, product, data and AI teams behind it — are an important part of what brings our companies together. We’ve spent years building a modern platform designed to move quickly, solve complex financial problems and deliver better experiences for small business owners. Joining Valley gives us the opportunity to bring those capabilities to a much larger banking organization and expand what we can build from here. I’m incredibly proud of this team and excited for the next chapter.

Einat Metzer reacted on thisEinat Metzer reacted on thisSmall business has always been personal to me. My father and grandfather were both small business owners, and 13 years ago Nir Klar and I started Bluevine because we believed small business owners deserved better financial services. Today, we've announced a major milestone in that journey: Bluevine has signed an agreement to be acquired by Valley National Bancorp, the parent company of Valley Bank. What started with helping small businesses access working capital has grown into the largest small business banking platform in the country. We've served more than 1 million small businesses, delivered more than $17 billion in financing, expanded into banking and payments, and built an incredible team around the world. We've always made decisions based on how we can deliver the greatest impact for small business owners. We believe this decision will also have a great impact for these owners. Valley brings the scale, stability, capabilities, and reach of an established bank. Combined with Bluevine's technology, small business expertise, and digital-first customer experience, we believe it will allow us to accelerate our growth and advance the mission we've been pursuing from the beginning. I couldn't be prouder of what our team has built over the past 13 years, or more energized by what we can build from here. Thank you to our customers for trusting us with your businesses, and to every Blueviner past and present who helped get us to this moment.

Einat Metzer liked thisClaude Opus 5.5 is smarter than Fable 5.1, faster and cheaper than Opus 5, and a much better communicator, which makes it more enjoyable to talk to and collaborate with. I've been using Opus 5.5 to explain concepts in biology and critique my strategic thinking. It's a good model and I hope you enjoy using it!Einat Metzer liked thisWe’re introducing Claude Opus 5.5, the first model in our new Claude 5.5 family. It performs at the level of Claude Fable 5.1 for most tasks, and costs 40% less to run than Opus 5. Opus 5.5 is our first model since we called for pacing the frontier. As with previous models, it was tested by external evaluators before release, including METR and Frontier Design. On our most comprehensive alignment test, it achieves the strongest score to date. It outperforms both Opus 5 and Fable 5.1 on nearly every benchmark we report, leading on agentic coding and real-world knowledge work. It’s also more efficient. Opus 5.5 uses fewer tokens per task at a lower price per token, and generates output more than 30% faster than Opus 5. Opus 5.5 communicates more naturally, addressing some of the most common feedback we heard on Opus 5. It puts the most important information up front and follows the writing rules you give it. Claude Opus 5.5 is available today. We're also raising five-hour limits on Pro, Max, and Team plans, so there’s more room to explore what it can do. Read more: https://lnkd.in/ed8v38cg

Einat Metzer liked thisEinat Metzer liked thisToday we’re launching the Life Science Verification Program, enabling life science professionals to use Mythos-class models in biology-related work for the first time. Applications are open here: https://lnkd.in/ggeUUdXp Over the past few months, we’ve been hard at work developing a new set of safeguards that provide a better experience for those doing biology work, while also providing more protection for our users against the increasingly sophisticated attempts at misuse that we’ve been seeing on our platform. Reach out if you have any trouble with the enrollment process.

Einat Metzer reacted on thisEinat Metzer reacted on thisThe saying goes, "We’re meant to work to live, not live to work." But some of us hit the jackpot and find jobs that are challenging yet also fun, deeply fulfilling, and filled with purpose. Illumina has been that for me, and I’m very grateful. Today is my last day after 13 wonderful years. I’ve had the privilege of working alongside deeply thoughtful people whose scientific and engineering brilliance is matched by a sincere passion for improving human health. There is a spirit here of pushing the bounds of what is possible, imagining a better future for human health and scientific discovery, and driving the collaboration and creativity needed to turn that vision into reality. There is an energy here that is hard to put into words unless you’ve been lucky enough to experienced it yourself. The friendships I’ve made and the lessons I’ve learned have truly been a gift. I’ve been incredibly fortunate to have many extraordinary (and entertaining) colleagues and mentors along the way. So much of who I am today has been shaped by those relationships, and I’m so deeply appreciative. I cannot wait to see the important and super cool stuff you’ll continue to do, and I wish you all continued success. I’m looking forward to taking a couple of weeks off before starting a new role. I’m very excited about my next opportunity, but today I’m filled with gratitude for an amazing 13 years.
