Daniel Ramot is Israeli-born American entrepreneur, and scientist. He is the co-founder and CEO of TransitTech company, Via.




Early life and education


Ramot was born in Israel, attended elementary school in Turkey, and high school at the United World College of SE Asia in Singapore. Ramot is a graduate of the Israel Defense Force's Talpiot program, this is also where he met Oren Shoval, who would later become his co-founding partner. As part of that program, he received a Bachelor of Science in Physics and Mathematics at The Hebrew University.
From 1996 to 2002, Ramot served in the Israeli Air Force where he developed avionic systems for F-15s and F-16s. During this time, he also completed a Master of Science in electrical engineering from Tel Aviv University. In 2002, Ramot moved to the US to pursue a graduate degree in neuroscience.
He received a PhD in Neuroscience from Stanford University School of Medicine in 2007. Ramot is quoted as saying that "understanding the human brain nervous system is a critical aspect that drives the economy". During his doctoral research, Ramot was awarded several scholarships, including the Dan David Prize scholarship in 2004 and the Albion Walter Hewlett Stanford Graduate Fellowship. Ramot's PhD dissertation focused on the molecular and cellular basis of thermosensation and the behavioral mechanisms of thermoregulation. From 2008 until 2012, Ramot was a Director at D.E. Shaw Research, where he was involved in building supercomputers designed to discover new pharmaceutical drugs.

In 2012, Ramot teamed up with fellow Talpiot alumnus Oren Shoval, to assist with building the algorithm and technology and eventually to co-found Via in New York City. Via is a global transportation technology company that builds software for public and private mobility systems, last-mile deliveries, and transportation planning services. It operates in more than 35 countries, where its technology powers microtransit, paratransit, school bus, transit planning, and autonomous vehicle networks. As of March 2021, Via is valued at US$2.8 billion.
