Founder Stories: Liran Belenzon, Co-Founder and CEO of BenchSci

Liran is the CEO of BenchSci, a biomedical artificial intelligence company he co-founded while completing his MBA at Rotman in 2016.

While at Rotman, Liran worked in the Creative Destruction Lab (CDL) where he met BenchSci co-founders Tom Leung, David Chen, and Elvis Wianda. The trio of PhDs was working on a project exploring the use of machine learning to analyze scientific papers in order to help life scientists conduct experiments faster and more effectively. Their science knowledge and Liran’s business experience were a perfect match.

Prior to pursuing his MBA, Liran was the founder and CEO of a B2B e-commerce start-up in Israel. In his role as CEO, Liran negotiated an equity investment in which Globes, Israel’s largest business daily, acquired a 50% stake in the company. The company grew to become the leading B2B marketplace in Israel before selling in 2015.
