Short Description: Soluto’s goal is to bring an end to PC user frustration, using advanced driver technology combined with collective user wisdom.
Long Description: Soluto's goal is to bring an end to the frustrations PC users encounter, with transparency, killer technology, and the wisdom of the crowd. Soluto's software combines low-level driver technology with collective wisdom, to detect PC users' frustrations, reveal their cause, learn which actions really eliminate them and improve user experience. All this data is gathered in Soluto's PC Genome, a knowledgebase of frustrations and solutions built automatically through the usage of Soluto software, for the benefit of all PC users.
Having been PC users since a very young age, we were simply tired of being so frustrated from our PC usage experience.
A few basic things just didn't make sense to us:
1. Why our PC's didn't do what we asked them to do, when we asked them to do it.
2. Why our PC's became increasingly sluggish and unresponsive the more we used them, and so quickly after we bought them.
3. Why we had to think twice before installing additional software, for fear of it having a negative effect on our PC's performance and our usage of it.
We then realized that we could build technology that could undo this state of affairs. And so we did.
Soluto employs innovative low-level Windows kernel technologies to identify what users are asking their PC to do, and what their PC does in return. Soluto is able to pinpoint and analyze what resource obstacles stood in the way of the user's desired actions. These can be I/O issues, network issues, resource locking, and so on.
Soluto uses the same technologies to determine what actions users took that had a positive effect on their computing experience. For example, pausing certain processes and reconfiguring certain applications can dramatically improve the behavior of a particular piece of software.
This anonymous technical data is gathered and sent to Soluto's PC Genome, a one of a kind knowledgebase containing statistical insights about PC software and hardware behavior, as well as remedies to alleviate PC usage frustrations. By putting this information into the light, the PC Genome will help consumers and vendors alike.
Soluto employs another set of innovative algorithms to determine which remedies will have a positive impact on each Soluto user's unique PC system. These remedies are then shared with other relevant Soluto users.
Beta Product: Soluto Beta allows PC users to understand their boot, discover which applications are slowing it down (and keep running later in the background, affecting their ongoing experience), allowing them to significantly improve it. While Soluto Beta focuses on the boot, it already researches for frustrations and helps map the PC Genome, and allows the user to share your wisdom with others
PC Genome: Soluto is also announcing the PC Genome. A one of a kind knowledgebase housing PC frustrations and their remedies.
Tomer started programming at the age of 9. Before co-founding Soluto, Tomer was CTO at MDG Medical, where he led the software and hardware development of medication dispensing products for hospitals. Before that he co-founded InetB, a web applications software provider.
Tomer’s better half, Ayala, is an actress. He's also an amateur drummer and prefers cats over dogs.
Roee started programming at the age of 11. After leading a software group in a security organization's elite R&D unit, he worked as a device driver developer for Envara, acquired by Intel in 2004. Since then, Roee has managed product design and development in several industries, including: water technology (Miya), location-based services (AeroScout), and music (Neocraft, where Roee was co-founder).
Roee is married to Avital, a brain scientist and is a big fan of judo, soccer, and classic movies.
Ishay started programming at the age of 10. Before co-founding Soluto, Ishay co-founded Onigma, a software security start-up in the field of data loss prevention (DLP), acquired by McAfee in 2006. Ishay is Soluto’s lead software architect and developer.
Ishay is married to Dafna, a theatre director. When he doesn't surf, he writes poetry and films his life for an upcoming documentary series on Israeli television.
Orit created her first CG animated movie when she was 10. In her teens, she moved onto designing HTML and Flash websites. Orit teaches at Bezalel Academy of Art and Design in Jerusalem, and before joining Soluto she was a part of the Kaltura team, the open source video platform start-up.
Orit is married to Avi, a medical student, and happens to be an amateur photographer and cinema buff.
To date, Soluto has raised a total of $7.8M in two rounds. These were led by Bessemer Venture Partners, Giza Venture Capital, and Proxima.
