(Forbes) Elizabeth MacBride - Zvi Schreiber, a Jerusalem-based entrepreneur, is on his fourth successful startup. Schreiber, who has a PhD in computer science, has led three startups to acquisitions: Tradeum Inc., a BtoB pioneer, had revenues of $100 million before it was acquired in 2000. He sold a database operator called Unicorn, to IBM in 2006, and another company, Lightech, to GE Lighting in 2011.
