Elran Bor | Computer Science, 2016
From startup builder to AI entrepreneur — JMC alumnus Elran Bor has turned technological innovation into a platform for building companies, teams, and a life centered on what matters most: family.
For JMC alumnus Elran Bor, professional success has never been the ultimate goal — it has been the means to build the life that matters most to him. “What I’m most proud of,” he says, “is my family. I have two children, and another on the way. Everything else is secondary.”
That perspective has accompanied him throughout an impressive career at the forefront of Israel’s startup and AI ecosystem. Since graduating from the Jerusalem Multidisciplinary College (JMC) in 2016, Elran has helped build and scale multiple successful tech companies, serving in senior product leadership roles and contributing to several major acquisitions along the way.
After completing his military service at a relatively late age, Elran knew he needed a program that would allow him to study while simultaneously gaining professional experience. He found that flexibility and support at JMC. While earning his degree in Computer Science, he was already working on startups and developing practical industry experience alongside his studies.
Today, Elran is a founder and VP of Product at Cutonce.ai, continuing to work at the intersection of entrepreneurship and artificial intelligence — a field he finds especially exciting because of the opportunity to build something entirely from the ground up.
“What I love most is building things,” he says. “Building a team, building a product, taking something from idea to reality.”
Although he entered Computer Science largely because of the entrepreneurial opportunities it offered, he says the degree itself gave him far more than technical knowledge. “The field is constantly changing,” he explains, “but the studies gave me a strong foundation — in algorithms, systems thinking, and understanding how things work from the ground up.”
Elran’s advice to students is deeply practical: combine academic studies with hands-on experience, personal projects, and real-world initiative. For him, professional growth never came from the classroom alone, but from applying what he was learning in real time — working at startups, building products, and gaining practical experience alongside his studies.
JMC is proud to spotlight Elran as a member of its alumni community whose story reflects not only innovation and entrepreneurial achievement, but also a broader vision of success: building a fulfilling life grounded in family, purpose, and continued growth.
