HOME FOR

innovation, technology & ideas

GKI Group is a home for technologies and innovations, bringing even the craziest and most ambitious ideas to life like The Milk & Honey Distillery, Cecilia.ai and VSL Labs, just to name a few. 

A brief history

GKI (Gal Kalkshtein Innovation) Group, was founded in June 2012 as “GK” by the serial entrepreneur and angel investor Gal Kalkshtein. After years of creating, experimenting, and learning, Gal decided to establish his own company for investing in startups and advising entrepreneurs.
After many investments, meetings, conferences and networking, GK changed its name to GKI Group to emphasize the importance of the loyal and professional team that gives us our advantage. The company acts as a group, made up of several sub-groups, together contributing to the company’s expertise in the world of innovation and startups.
In November 2015, Lital Einy, now Lital Kalkshtein, was chosen to head the Group as CEO, leading the company to new heights, both figuratively and literally. Our headquarters are located on the 12th floor of a new office building in Kfar Saba, with an amazing and inspiring view.
