Episode #67: Asaf Shamly Co-Founder CEO Browsi

In this special wartime episode, we speak with Asaf Shamly, a visionary entrepreneur and thought leader in the AdTech space, who co-founded Browsi, an AdTech AI startup back in 2017, with a mission to create a world where content and ads blend harmoniously.

He’s been at the forefront of innovation in the AdTech industry for over 8 years and has a wealth of experience which he’s gained from involvement in three startups. 

He also takes a lead role in the open-source community, championing transparency. 

And here’s the kicker – despite all his achievements, he’s just 30 years old. 

We discuss:

  • Being an entrepreneur during a war
  • Entrepreneurship struggles and emotional toll
  • The difference between selling to investors vs. clients
  • Emotional intelligence, EQ, and managing a team
  • The lonely road of entrepreneurship 
  • Dealing with failure and learning from mistakes

Have a good listen

What stands out about Asaf’s story is the compression: eight years in AdTech, three startups, and a leadership role in the open-source transparency community, all achieved by the time he was 30. Recorded during wartime, the conversation doesn’t shy away from the emotional toll that timing added to an already lonely job, and Asaf speaks candidly about the different emotional intelligence required to sell to investors versus clients, and how failure at Browsi taught him more about managing a team than any success did.

Recorded during wartime, the conversation is a candid look at what it takes to keep building under pressure, the emotional toll of entrepreneurship, the difference between selling to investors and to clients, and the loneliness that can come with leading a team through uncertainty.
