In his presentation, Hanan showed how much of private investment flows to areas such as Cyber, Media, Org. SW and Fintech - and how the untapped potential of many of the #deeptech areas, that are mostly supported by public money. This was followed by an investors' panel, moderated by Kerem Nevo. Here are a few insights: ✲Ben Rabinowitz (Amiti) invited entrepreneurs to engage early and consult with VCs, before they come to pitch their company. ✲Dov Moran (Grove Ventures) emphasized that entrepreneurs should have a very crisp answer to the following question: "I'm the #1 in ____", and make sure this is a big enough market. ✲Merav Weinryb (Sunvest Capital Partners) encouraged would-be founders to consult with people with the relevant experience who have "been there, done that". ✲Zvika Orron (Viola Ventures) re-iterated the importance of the right CEO from day-1. This was followed by another great panel of start-up founders, headed by Zvica. Here are some noteworthy points: ✲Robert Giterman (RAAAM™ Memory Technologies) talked about his journey from the #academia to the start-up world and highlighted to value of partnering with Silicon Catalyst's #ecosystem. ✲Alon Yehezkely (Wiliot) described out-of-the-box ways to solve complex challenges, such as running 8 tapeouts in 12 months, and progressing in an #agile way. ✲Guy Koren (founder of Xsight Labs LTD) mentioned the many pitfalls on the entrepreneurs' journey and, again, encouraged them to consult with people with the right experience. Besides the great presentations and panels, it was a great opportunity to meet many friends and passionate entrepreneurs working on some very cool deeptech ideas. #Israelinnovation

What an inspiring morning we had yesterday! Maya Schwartz, CEO of the Israeli High-Tech Association, launched the SHE tech conference by Supersonas, which was held at KLA in Migdal HaEmek. Maya highlighted the current situation of the high-tech industry during this challenging period and the presence of women in the high-tech sector, which has even more significant challenges. Did you know that: • Women lead less than 10% of startups founded in the last decade. • Less than 5% of the capital raisings are done by women and with less money for startups, especially in the early stages. • As investment rounds increase, the proportion of women decreases. Our collaboration with Supersonas is very significant for us. The Israeli High-Tech Association is working to promote the presence of women in key positions within the Israeli high-tech sector.

Summarizing DefenseTech Summit 2024 🛡️ It’s truly inspiring to witness the incredible momentum in the DefenseTech space, with over 1,000 participants from Israel and abroad. The event brought together leading global VCs, corporates, and defense bodies, showcasing the growing interest in this domain. We at Fresh Fund are honored to be one of the sponsors and partners of this important summit. We firmly believe Israel is uniquely positioned to become a global hub for impactful startups that not only emerge but thrive in this dynamic field. Our partner, Naor Caspi, participated in a fascinating panel alongside Nimrod Cohen (Tau Ventures), Alex Shmulovich (Viola Ventures), and Dorin Baniel (NightDragon). The discussion revolved around the opportunities and challenges for early-stage startups in DefenseTech and why this sector holds such significant promise for Israeli entrepreneurs. We’re already active in this space, with five investments in startups like R2 Wireless, Shifters AI Robotics, Tip&Cue, and two additional stealth ventures. And we’re eager to invest in more. DefenseTech founders inspire us—they’re purpose-driven, highly talented, and recognize the opportunity to build large businesses with meaningful impact.

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

Israeli Tech Exits: 25 years of Audacity and Innovation From Mobileye’s $15.3B Intel Corporation deal to Own Company’s recent $1.9B Salesforce acquisition, Israel’s tech scene has been rewriting the rules for a quarter century. Think about it: • Mobileye: From Jerusalem startup to driving the future of autonomous vehicles. • Mellanox Technologies: Powering supercomputers to supercharging Nvidia’s $3T valuation. • NDS Group: Securing pay-TV’s future while we were still figuring out smart TVs. • Chromatis Networks: Surfing the dot-com wave like pros with a $4.5B exit. But it’s not just about the billions. It’s about the audacity of vision: • Founders disrupting industries while most were cramming for exams. • Scaling from garage startups to global powerhouses. • Turning down billion-dollar offers? That’s not crazy, that’s conviction. From autonomous vehicles to AI chips, Israeli founders aren’t just participating in the tech race - they’re leading it. And here’s the kicker: This is just the beginning. The next Mobileye is probably being cooked up in a Tel Aviv apartment right now. IsraelTech isn’t just exiting - it’s entering the future, guns blazing. The next 25 years? They’re going to be wild. Credit: CTech by Calcalist #startup #venturecapital #technology

Identifai Genetics has developed a non-invasive prenatal testing (NIPT) technology to identify hundreds of hereditary genetic disorders from a maternal blood sample. The breakthrough builds on the research of Noam Shomron and Tom Rabinowitz of Tel Aviv University, leading experts in genetics and bioinformatics. The company’s approach, led by Eyal Miller MBA, MA, isolates fetal DNA from maternal DNA in blood samples and uses artificial intelligence to conduct full genetic sequencing from as early as nine weeks of pregnancy. This marks a significant expansion of current NIPT capabilities. To date, IdentifAI has raised $6.5 million from eHealthVentures specializing in healthtech investments, Shizim Group Fund, and additional investors, along with grants from the #IsraelInnovationAuthority.

𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸, 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 – 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗲𝘆𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝗿 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗦𝘂𝗰𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀 At nT-Tao, we know that achieving our ambitious goal of commercializing fusion power requires more than just technical expertise. It demands teamwork, trust, and a shared commitment to precision. That's why we recently took a break from our labs and simulations for a thrilling team activity at The Squadron Israel - Hatayeset. Hatayeset offered us the chance to experience the intensity of flying F-16s and F-35s (simulators, of course)—sharpening our focus, decision-making, creative thinking, and the importance of a structured debriefing to teamwork, self and group improvement, and forward planning. This fun day wasn't just about the thrill of flying; it was about growing as a team and company. Together, we’re more than a group of experts—we’re a unit committed to transforming the way the world is powered, with the kind of focus and synergy that makes success possible. Here’s to aiming high, reaching new horizons, and bringing the world closer to sustainable, fusion-powered energy! #fusionenergy #cleanenergy #gofusion #innovation #compactfusion

Heard about geo-targeting? I’ll admit it—I used to think geo-targeting was pretty genius. 📍 But after diving deep into its implications for my latest article, my view has totally changed. It’s not as innocent as we think. Geo-targeting allows advertisers to pinpoint audiences based on location. Sounds useful, right? Well, what happens when this ‘innocent’ tool is used in ways that compromise privacy? In my latest article, I take a closer look at how this technology raises red flags—and why we should all be paying attention. #PrivacyMatters #GeoTargeting #TechEthics #DataPrivacy #MarketingInsights #LocationBasedAds #MarketingEthics https://lnkd.in/esF-5XY6
