When Eyal (our CEO) was 8, he lived in Ethiopia with his family for 4 years while his parents served there as a Mossad agent and military man. While there, they rescued a monkey named <strong>JoJo<\/strong>. Eyal chose the name Banana to remember his past. Plus, why not make finance a little more fun?<\/p>\n<p>But that&#8217;s not all. Eyal continues to be a champion for the endangered species and is now a guardian for Caesar, a young chimpanzee orphan rescued by the Tacugama Chimpanzee Sanctuary in Sierra Leone. Through the Tacugama Guardianship Programme, Eyal can financially support Caesar&#8217;s rehabilitation and education, as well as the Tacugama conservation and research programs. All subspecies of chimpanzees are endangered, and the Western chimpanzee is critically endangered.
