"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

If it's worth boasting about, let's skip the modesty! It's a story about creating Happy from scratch. Happy, a Viven Operations dental subsidiary, sells clear aligners across Israel. They work with partner doctors to ensure top-notch care and expert support, all focusing on promoting healthy teeth and fulfilling lives. So, here's what we've been up to at Halo Lab — Your Digital Partner Lab: ✦ Crafted modern branding to capture the energy of the target audience.  ✦ We tackled Hebrew font challenges and chose Avenir Next Hebrew and Gan CLM, suited to the language's unique style.  ✦ Designed the website with a sticker-style layout, using a mix of images and block-based tiles.  ✦ Added features like Treatable Cases, Day and Night Treatment, and a Mini Quiz to boost user engagement. Guess what? Healthcare can be warm and friendly – now you know it! 😁 Check out the full case study 👉 https://lnkd.in/eCGeBfBZ

✨ Proud to present Waze Safe Space! ✨ In response to the need for quick solutions in security situations in Israel, we developed Waze Safe Space—an innovative app for finding shelters and safe spaces in real-time. 💡 The app leverages advanced technologies like Firebase and the Google Maps API, featuring background functionality and real-time alerts based on data from the "Red Alert" system. 🎯 So how does it work? 🔔 During an alert, the app automatically sends a notification and guides users from their current location to the nearest shelter. 🧭 Using a dedicated algorithm, the app identifies accessible shelters tailored to users' specific needs and enables reports on the accessibility status of shelters. 🚀 I’m now looking for my next opportunity to apply the knowledge I’ve gained and create impactful technological solutions. 📩 If you’re seeking someone passionate about innovation, I’d love to chat! A huge thank-you to everyone who contributed to this project for the incredible work and support 🙏. #Innovation #Technology #Firebase #GoogleMaps #WazeSafeSpace #JobSeeking #Networking

This article in Mekomit highlights how easy it is for people to get lost in their daily routines, prioritizing their own comfort and avoiding tough questions. Meanwhile, their taxes and silence help enable horrors like starvation, torture, and genocide. It’s a stark reminder that indifference isn’t neutral. It has consequences. We must choose to stay aware and act against such injustices.

CASE STORY - PART II ------- We are on with the second part of story about our implementation to Tel Aviv Medical Center - T.A.M.C Ltd. This time it's more detailed, and tells about how we moved this medical center from 6 systems to one. All-in-one is one of the basic concepts of our software. We really thing, that using multiple solutions (sometimes over 30) only make your clinic way less efficient. If you have a software mess in your medical center or chain of clinics - that one is for you 😊 https://lnkd.in/eQM-tNK8

How My Competitor’s $2M Raise Proved Me Right 2 years ago, I envisioned an AI-powered product sourcing agent to empower small and medium-sized retailers — those without large teams or deep cross-domain expertise — to reduce sourcing time, mitigate risks and stay ahead of market trends. After relocating to Israel, I took the plunge: assembled a team of ambitious immigrant talent, conducted in-depth market research and 30+ customer interviews, left my job, and invested my own $7K to bring this vision to life. We've worked tirelessly, and just a month before our beta launch, I discovered a competing startup, founded by former Amazon, Google and Stripe employees, that launched on September 13 after raising $2M in a pre-seed round from XYZ Venture Capital, Propel Ventures and Go Global Ventures. No significant traction, no real product — just a raw beta and social media posts filled with Midjourney-generated images. Instead of viewing this as a setback, it validated my vision. The fact that 2 similar projects emerged simultaneously proves there's a growing demand for solutions like ours. If large-scale teams are also pursuing this, it confirms that the market is ripe for transformation, and I’m proud to have been thinking in the same direction. For months, I battled impostor syndrome (not anymore), but this proves that innovative thinking isn't exclusive to industry giants. I arrived at the same solution independently, driven by data, passion and conviction, and ahead of the global AI hype. I may not have the corporate pedigree or deep pockets, but I do have something equally powerful: an amazing team, long-term vision, entrepreneurial resilience and unwavering support from my wife. I believe our product will inject fresh competition into the market, benefiting everyone. Now, I’m looking for partners to help accelerate this momentum with venture investment, connections, expertise and advice. If this resonates with you, please, like, share, repost, comment or tag anyone in your network who might add value to this exciting journey!

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?
