Who’s building this
Gil Erez
Founder & CEO
Gil has spent 15 years across Europe and Asia building SaaS fintech platforms and the teams behind them. Most recently Chief Strategy Officer at Silver Lining, overseeing company operations and Silver Lining Capital, a small-business loan fund.
Gil started Cascara because he wanted to describe his coffee beyond “I like it.” The cellar brings together coffees to try, a record of each brew, and a palate profile that learns from those ratings.
