Javelin Technologies
"...
We met investors who tried to convince us that they had
their pulse on the future of electronic trading. But Hadar
was the only one we met who actually did. His ability to
simultaneously embody the worlds of technology and finance
was the first thing that caught our attention. But as we
discovered very soon afterwards, his business acumen,
management expertise and contacts were exactly what we
needed and there was no question we wanted him onboard.
Opticality acts like a true partner and created an
environment where other strategic and institutional
investors came to us. And because of Hadar's reputation for
finding hidden gems, we found ourselves fielding calls from
the top investment banks all eager to invest in future
rounds. Amazing!

Zero G Software
"As a company founded by two engineers, Zero G needed a VC
that truly understood the technology behind its products.
With Hadar Pedhazur, the company couldn't have made a better
choice. Hadar's depth of knowledge in technical areas has
impressed everyone in our organization, and his insight into
our business, our products, and our market has been dead-on.
Hadar's personality makes it especially pleasurable working
with him. Consistently warm and engaging, he eschews the
intimidation tactics that are common in the VC community.
Able to be constructive without being overbearing, he helps
us arrive at our decisions in a collaborative manner! In our
industry, that's more unusual than it sounds.
Bringing Opticality on board was one of the very best
decisions we've made as a company."
--- Greg Maletic, Co-Founder & CTO
iClips
"...
Equally important, Hadar and his team are amazingly
accessible, and will always make time for management. In a
business where things happen incredibly quickly, and
minimizing opportunity costs is crucial to winning, Hadar's
availability to focus on our priorities at a moment's notice
is both an asset for the business and a source of comfort
for management.
Finally, everything Hadar and his team do is infused with an
honest, ethical, no nonsense approach that is a breath of
fresh air in an industry that isn't always knows for such
virtues. He truly cares about you as an individual, your
business, and your vision, and will do what it takes to help
you succeed!"

Conducent
"From our first meeting with Hadar, we knew we wanted him as
part of our team. We were delighted when Opticality decided
to invest in Conducent and Hadar joined our board. He
brings an amazing combination of knowledge, experience and
'gut sense' across technology and business, and he is
generous in sharing it.
In a very short time, Hadar has already made a tremendous
difference at Conducent and we look forward to continuing
this fruitful and thoroughly enjoyable relationship!"
--- Denis Yaro, President & COO
ARC Systems
"...
What makes [Hadar] unique is his appreciation of what it
takes to make a business work from a technology perspective
as well as the effort required to produce measurable
results. He understands the financial and management
parameters of running a profitable business.
...
At the core of all business is a philosophy which permeates
the organization in ways people seldom understand. Those
elements are a high set of principles, not the least of
which are honesty, morality, and a deep sense of fair play.
Hadar embodies these principles in everything he does. We
are extremely fortunate to have Hadar as an investor, VC,
and advisor for ARC Systems."

BigCharts, Inc.
"...
I am pleased and proud to be the first company that Hadar
invested in, and value his contribution in helping us build
our business into a property worthy of sale to CBS
MarketWatch.com. Hadar's advice to me and to Jamie
Thingelstad (our CTO) has been invaluable.
I have told many entrepreneurs not to simply settle for
money, but to look for true partners in those that fund
them. In Hadar, we found that, and I am grateful for it."

Digital Creations
"Hadar Pedhazur has been instrumental in the success of
Digital Creations. One month after he made the investment,
Hadar led us to the pivotal Open Source decision. Hadar's
unique combination of industry vision, technical savvy, and
financial wisdom gives us an unbeatable competitive
advantage."
--- Paul Everitt, CEO
SciComp
"All VCs tell you that they will add value as well as money.
Hadar Pedhazur actually delivers. He has provided SciComp
with everything from sales leads to business model
strategies to hacking details. Hadar is an inextinguishable
fountain of creative ideas and enthusiasm, wrapped in a
solid core of competence, caring, and integrity. Working
with him to increase SciComp's value is a true pleasure."
--- Elaine Kant, CEO
XMLSolutions Corporation
"...
The business of XML is moving at break-neck speed. It was
incumbent upon us to find someone who could both keep up,
but assure that we didn't run so fast as to forget what
direction we should be running in. Hadar has wonderfully
performed the role of someone who both pushes us and guides
us at the same time. He has solved thorny problems and
introduced us to terrific customer opportunities.
...
When I met Hadar a year ago, I knew I wanted him to back
whatever company I formed. Now that he's done so, I know
that I was correct, and I'll take the credit."
--- Kevin Kail, CEO

Red Oak Software
"...
But, what really makes Hadar unique is that he simply and
truly cares. I have known him for over a decade and have
been continually amazed by his unfailing willingness to
share his broad knowledge, perspective and time. In fact,
his passion for our success has been equaled only by his
dispassionate and sound business judgment.
...
Every company, new or old, states they believe
deeply in doing business ethically and above reproach.
Hadar is one of the few individuals where this belief is at
the heart of everything he does. When he says he believes
it is the right thing to do, you can rest assured it will
pass all tests. There is no substitute for integrity."

SourceGear Corporation
"...
Based on my experiences so far, Hadar Pedhazur is
refreshingly genuine. Even though our firm has not yet
obtained funding from Hadar, he has invested substantial
amounts of time and energy in helping us. He has been
selfless, trustworthy, and clueful. I can point to
specific, concrete situations where his counsel has helped
SourceGear be more successful.
Based on his growing reputation, Hadar Pedhazur hardly needs
my recommendation. I am nonetheless pleased to offer it.
If you can convince Hadar to invest in your firm, do the
deal."
