Joy and innovation in Tel Aviv
Yuval Kaminka leading a discussion with Weizmann alumni at the offices of JoyTunes.
In December, the Weizmann Alumni Organization visited the Tel Aviv offices of music software developer JoyTunes, co-founded in 2011 by Yuval Kaminka and Roey Izkovsky, MSc graduates of the Weizmann Institute’s Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science. Musician Yigal Kaminka, Yuval’s brother, also partnered with them in founding JoyTunes. The music education startup has launched a number of highly successful apps for learning and practicing music, which can detect playing and provide instant feedback. During the visit, the alumni had an open discussion with Yuval, in which they heard about his path from Weizmann grad student to CEO of a leading startup, and how he leveraged his training at the Institute to develop the company’s innovative software.
The visit also included a lecture by Oded Zewi, co-builder and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Lead at JoyTunes, on the cutting-edge technology that stands at the base of the company.
