Liron Shapira

Liron Shapira is Cofounder/CTO at Quixey, an intelligent all-platform functional search engine for apps. Prior to Quixey, Liron worked at Slide as an early developer on the team that created SuperPoke! Pets — a multimillion dollar revenue generating product.
 
Quixey invented Functional Search specifically for apps. Unlike traditional search engines, Quixey scrapes blogs, review sites, forums and social media to learn what each app can do and how people use it. Quixey uses this data to help users find the apps they need across all platforms — on smartphones, browsers, desktops, and the web.
 
Liron is interested in the building blocks of accurate mental models. The most powerful blocks he has collected so far are Reductionism, Computation, and the methods of Rationality.
 
Liron earned his BA in Computer Science at the University of California, Berkeley in 2009 where he implemented a fully-functional clone of Google Calculator.
