“It’s an automated advisor,” said Tipigo’s chief executive officer Elran Bor in an interview. “The system’s engine recognizes when there is a match between a specific investment opportunity and a customer’s investment profile. The algorithm analyzes customer characteristics such as available budget and risk preference.”

Tipigo was founded in 2014 by Nechemia Bor and Yehuda Carmel. Mr. Bor has been developing the algorithm with private funding. He previously founded and ran Multiconn International Ltd., a software company that provided services to banks and investment firms, eventually acquired by Formula Systems Ltd.
