Biography

Shai Wininger is recognized among Jewish contributors to Technology & Engineering — Co-founded Fiverr in 2010 and Lemonade in 2015; three decades of building companies, from a freelance marketplace to an insurer run on artificial intelligence.

How & why

Origins and early life

Shai Wininger co-founded Fiverr with Micha Kaufman in 2010, and in April 2015 co-founded Lemonade with Daniel Schreiber — an insurer that sells almost all its policies and settles most of its claims through artificial intelligence, and which neither founder had any insurance background to build.

Work and career

He has spent three decades starting companies and works on product. Interviewed by Ynet, he said that building and growing companies in Israel 'is what Zionism is all about', and warned against what he called the normalization of antisemitism and against those who invoke the Holocaust for publicity — his own words, in a dated and named interview, and the strongest evidence this card carries. No source states his Jewish identity in so many words: an Israeli founder's biography has no reason to mention it, and in Israeli public life it is non-belonging that gets said, because that is what is notable.

He is here under the Israeli presumption the site adopted on 7 September 2026 — a Hebrew given name and surname, a life in Israel, and a strong attested tie — which is a presumption and not a declaration, and which any contrary source overturns.
