Ophir Samson is the Founder and CEO of Ezra AI Labs, a voice AI interviewing platform that helps recruiting teams identify qualified candidates through structured voice conversations, replacing outdated resume screening with real human signal.

Ophir holds a PhD in Applied Mathematics, conducted math research at MIT, and earned an MBA from Stanford Graduate School of Business, bringing deep technical and business acumen to every venture he builds.

A second-time exited voice AI founder, Ophir previously built and sold a voice AI coaching company (Juliet AI Labs) that was acquired by Spark Networks, one of the world's largest online dating companies, proving his ability to create and exit category-defining products.

Ophir has led engineering at General Motors, scaled teams at Uber, and drove partnerships at Aurora in autonomous driving, giving him rare Fortune 50 executive experience across AI, mobility, and enterprise technology.

Ezra AI Labs raised a $3.2M seed round co-led by Penny Jar Capital and LMNT Ventures with participation from a16z Speedrun, and early enterprise clients have reported saving up to 75% more time and interviewing six times as many qualified candidates versus traditional hiring processes.
