About Almog Goldstein
Decades ago, my parents met at the beach, then years later they named me Almog, which means \'Coral\' in Hebrew, to express their love for the place that started our family. This story inspired me to help everyone enjoy the best beach experience with Beaches App, which features over beaches across more than 10 US states.It took me a year of daily rejections to find my first Product Management job because I lacked experience from leading corporates. I clearly remember the mental pain of waking up to another rejection letter. That\'s why I am deeply committed to helping students gain practical experience, so they can avoid the same kind of mental pain I felt. I am grateful to be working towards this mission with the Open Innovation Labs I’ve founded at UC Berkeley.I\'m passionate about helping others and creating valuable knowledge and resources for humanity. I enjoy learning from others and surrounding myself with people who remind me that the more I see, the less I know.My final goal in life is to expand the light of the consciousness of humanity by opening the universe to consumers through Open Universe, LLC. Please feel free to connect! I always enjoy meeting new people and hearing new stories.
