eSelf

Based in Tel Aviv, Israel, eSelf develops artificial intelligence-generated digital humans and conversational avatars for real-time, human-like video interactions. Founded in 2023 by Eylon Shoshan and Alan Bekker, the startup leverages Bekker's prior experience leading conversational artificial intelligence at Snap following the acquisition of his previous company, Voca AI. The software platform provides low-latency, multilingual virtual agents for sectors like finance and education, notably partnering with Harvard University and CET for a world-first national K-12 tutor pilot in Israel. Prior to its successful acquisition, the software company operated with up to fifty employees, generating approximately $2,200,000 in annual revenue and serving a global base of forty thousand users. After raising $4,500,000 in early stage venture funding and reaching an estimated $7,200,000 valuation, eSelf was acquired by enterprise video platform Kaltura for $27,000,000 in November 2025.
