Before he was one of Upwind’s first investors, Omri Casspi was known for something else — relentless drive.

From a small town in Israel to becoming the first Israeli player in the NBA, Casspi’s journey was never easy but it was fueled by values we deeply connect with at Upwind: determination, resilience, and belief in the long game.

In this new episode of our Road to Gold series, Casspi sits down with Upwind CEO Amiram Shachar to talk about what it really takes to push boundaries — in sports, in business, and in life.

Stay tuned for Part 2 — where both dive deeper into how these same values helped shape Upwind’s mission from day one.
