My name is Stephen Steinberg. I live in northern Virginia with my wife and young daughter. I’m the Founder of a company called Raw Athletics, a holding company for sports & fitness brands - our biggest brand being Vapor Fresh.

Vapor Fresh is first and foremost an ecommerce company. I’m part of ecommerce LinkedIn groups, ecommerce Slack channels and ecommerce meetups. They have been immensely helpful in scaling the company.

It’s always been special when I meet an Israeli or a fellow Jew in these communities. There’s an unspoken bond formed. I’ve always wanted to join a Jewish business group to foster more of these connections, but never found one I loved.

Then October 7th happened.

Suddenly, being a part of a Jewish business group went from a “nice-to-have” to a necessity. Businesses were being dragged through the mud left and right simply for being Jewish-owned or for publicly supporting Israel. At the end of the day, we can only rely on each other when things get tough.

So I started JSuite.

It’s been just two weeks since JSuite launched and over 400 fellow Jewish business professionals like you have subscribed.

I have big dreams for JSuite. Whether we get there is anyone’s guess. But as long as I can foster some fruitful business relationships through JSuite that ultimately strengthen the Jewish community, I’d consider that a win.
