Born in Israel, Ami Shafrir has worked tirelessly to build an impressive list of successful entrepreneurial endeavors, however, the business he is possibly most proud of is the social media company he is building with Explore Talent.

Ami took control of the company in 2002, after exhausting himself and most of his fiscal resources to fight Daniel and Abner Nicherie. Thanks to Ami’s cooperation with the FBI, the United States Attorney, the Criminal Division of the IRS, the U.S. Department of Labor, and other authorities he was instrumental in ensuring the arrest and successful prosecution of the Niceties brothers.

The Internet based company Explore Talent, was riddled with problems, prior to switching hands  – but Ami saw overwhelming potential. Ami put what little funds he had left into reinventing the company. With a little money and a lot of drive, Ami has cleaned up the company’s reputation turning it into the world’s largest online talent source. Today, the ExploreTalent.com website boasts of well over 3million members comprised of actors, models, dancers and musicians. Along the way Ami has developed powerful relationships with the entertainment industry’s most prominent studio heads, producers, celebrities and artists.  

While Ami has poured himself into rebuilding his life, he doesn’t believe in doing so at the expense of others. Looking into the future, Ami Shafrir says, “I have decided to continue giving back to society by building the framework of a charitable organization I call ExploreCares. Through this organization, I plan to help struggling entertainers and artists survive in the entertainment industry and beyond. I want everyone to succeed and will always fight for the less fortunate to have a level playing field in this industry.”  

While successfully reinventing himself, Ami has enjoyed how ironic his unique form of celebrity truly is.  He has become a big businessmen in Hollywood by making sure that the smallest players are taken care of first.
