I'm excited to announce that Jounce is joining Red Hat! 🚀 From the beginning, our mission at Jounce has been clear: enabling companies to run AI models close to their data with unmatched visibility, performance, and control. We envisioned a future where enterprises could confidently adopt Generative AI without requiring deep technical expertise in managing complex underlying infrastructure. However, as we engaged more deeply with the market, we recognized we were early, and enterprises face other complex challenges that require a broader platform than we initially set out to build. After thoughtful consideration, it became clear that the best way to achieve our ambitious goals was to join forces with a strong partner whose values align closely with ours. With its vibrant open-source culture, transparent approach, and commitment to customer freedom, Red Hat was the perfect fit. Their vision for Red Hat AI aligns seamlessly with our philosophy: helping customers adopt GenAI safely, efficiently, and without vendor lock-in to any specific hardware, environment, or model. Joining the Red Hat AI team allows us to scale our vision and accelerate our impact, empowering enterprises with the tools they need to unlock the full potential of Generative AI. We are deeply grateful to our exceptional team, amazing investors (Pitango), dedicated partners (Meitar | Law Offices, Google Cloud, Amazon Web Services (AWS), CloudZone), and supportive customers and community. Your belief in our mission and contributions throughout this journey has been truly invaluable. A special thank you to Ayal Itzkovitz (our lead investor from Pitango), Eitan Hoffman (our angel investor), and Sivan M. (our founding chairman), who have been with us since day one. Your mentorship, support, and partnership — combined with your willingness to dive deep and learn alongside us — have been instrumental in shaping our path and getting us to where we are today! We’d also like to thank GUTS - Harel Innovation hub for being our physical home over the past year and much more. Your strategic guidance, collaboration, and connections helped us grow and tailor our product for enterprise needs. This is just the beginning. Stay tuned :) #Jounce #GenAI #OpenSource #RedHat #OpenShiftAI Jonathan Zarecki, Aviran Badli, Mark Vaykhansky, Tomer Garber, Omer Marcovich, Alon Kellner, Amit Mendelevitch, Chen Barak, Raanan Lerner, Dr. Adi Bester Grinapell, Naama Mairanowski, Guy Cohen, Aviv Barzilay, Daniel Skiba, Elroy Mizrachi, Omer Karny, Liran Chernov, Idan Tamir, Elior Zoaretz, Dana kislev
