To mark the end of the SmartUp3 competition, Eden Shochat who sold Face.com to Facebook, spoke to "Globes."

“It seems that you shouldn’t ask me this question,” responded Eden Shochat to the rumored assumption that he should be a role model for many Israeli high-tech entrepreneurs. Shochat may be correct, and the four Israeli entrepreneurs who listened to his conversation with “Globes” editor-in-chief Hagai Golan at the final ceremony for the SmartUp3 competition would have replied in the affirmative. Shochat (38) is a technology entrepreneur and investor who is best known for his part in the founding of facial recognition software developer Face.com that was sold to Facebook Inc. (Nasdaq: FB) for around $100 million in 2012.
