About us
Why CoVelocity?
CoVelocity was founded in the early days of the COVID19 pandemic to help governments and healthcare providers in emerging markets access lifesaving diagnostics and therapeutics. To help them save lives across the global south, CoVelocity's founders - Ariel Beery, Yael Misrahi, and Alon Metrikin-Gold - worked with medical technology manufacturers around the world to help them develop new products, validate those interventions, and introduce those new products to the market.
We've expanded our focus.
With the pandemic thankfully behind us, we realized we have more to give. We have built on our decades of experience building mission-driven companies and organizations to support executives and management teams as they work towards building products and services that will make the world a better place.
We have had the pleasure to work with partners including the largest rehab hospital in Israel, the Office of the President's initiative to connect Israel with the Jewish Diaspora, and build strategies for social movements that engage all of Israel's citizens in building a pluralistic, liberal future for the country.
Our leadership.
Ariel Beery has founded, managed, and scaled 3 purpose-driven ventures over two decades, and supported countless others as a board member and fractional executive team member.
He is joined by a network of executives and professionals available when specialized expertise is needed.
We only work on mission-aligned efforts we’d be proud to support.
