You're having coffee with a friend, and you've cracked the next big thing, but how do you turn it into something people pay for? 🧐   That's where the real challenge begins.. Shoutout to Effie Arditi, our Seeds mentor, who took us from ideation to product reality this week. His Four-Fits Model and hands-on workshops transformed abstract visions into actionable plans. There were no buzzwords or fluff- just hands-on learning, actual startup tactics, and a few hard truths 🏋️♂️ Thank you to another Seeds mentor, Dror Shimoni, co-founder at HoneyBook, for hosting us as warmly as usual. And, of course, for raising a glass (or two) of Arak🥃😄 Mamram Alumni Association - Yossi Melamed, Ishay Gavriel, Ehud Naos, Yanir Frumkin 🎗️| Google Cloud - Janina Lax, Maayan Ronen, Elroy Mizrachi | Team8 - Ori Barzilay | lool ventures - Yaniv Golan, Avichay Nissenbaum | Pearl Cohen - Doron Latzer, Guy Lachmann, Hili Rashkovan | Next October - Izhar Shay

"We grew crooked. Hiring 9 people in a week? Ordering a beanbag room in the 2021 bubble? they were all mistakes. None of them were part of Arbox's DNA🧬 Ran Lev gave us a closer look at his 10 year rollercoaster, starting at 25 and building an empire with a product we all use today. Our Seed Baby Sharks didn’t hold back, biting hard questions (We warned him that sometimes they bite 🦈) Itay Barak, Co-founder & CEO of Syntero, led a hands-on workshop on market analysis, customer pain points, and real startup survival tactics. In the seeds program, we believe that theory must meet practice. It's the only way to grow. Huge thanks to our amazing partners - lool ventures for hosting us 🤍 Mazal Tov on your new place 🎊 don’t forget to make us a copy of the new key 🔑 😜 Mamram Alumni Association - Yossi Melamed, Ishay Gavriel, Ehud Naos, Yanir Frumkin 🎗️| Google Cloud - Janina Lax, Maayan Ronen, Elroy Mizrachi | Team8 - Ori Barzilay | lool ventures - Yaniv Golan, Avichay Nissenbaum | Pearl Cohen - Doron Latzer, Guy Lachmann, Hili Rashkovan | Next October - Izhar Shay.

Raise the funds before the runway’s done. Fundraising is a fuel, it's an art, and it's learnable and trainable. This week, Class 2 of the Mamram Seeds Program had its kickoff session on the art of fundraising. We explored what investors look for when evaluating a startup and its team, how the process works behind the scenes, and the common mistakes founders make in the ecosystem. Shoutout to Guy Katsovich, Founder of Fusion VC, for bridging the gap between VCs and early-stage founders, and breaking down the crucial steps every founder must take before diving into a fundraising round💥 And Guy Lachmann, Senior Partner at Pearl Cohen, reminded us why signing contracts without reading them is a very bad idea (shocking, right?)⚖️ Big thanks to Pearl Cohen for making this session happen! Now, who’s ready to raise millions and still afford coffee? ☕🚀 Mamram Alumni Association - Yossi Melamed, Ishay Gavriel, Ehud Naos, Yanir Frumkin 🎗️| Google Cloud - Janina Lax, Elroy Mizrachi | Team8 - Ori Barzilay | lool ventures - Yaniv Golan | Pearl Cohen - Doron Latzer, Guy Lachmann, Hili Rashkovan | Next October

Early-stage startup founders- have you ever jumped on a customer validation call? You think your solution is great. It'll help them. But is that the real question? 🤔 In our last Mamram Seeds Session, we tackled one of the biggest challenges every founder faces: validating the problem, not just the idea, and, just as importantly, what it takes to reach those first-paying customers. Thank you to Uri Gafni, Co-Founder & CPO/COO at Brandlight, who shared game-changing insights on maximizing customer validation calls. From mastering The Mom Test to avoiding common pitfalls, Uri showed us how to extract honest, actionable feedback that moves startups forward. Fantastic, we now know how to run validation calls. But how do we get them? What does it take to reach the right people, engage them, and—more importantly, turn them into paying customers without spending a dollar? 💰 That’s where Dor Vardi, Co-Founder of Samplead, stepped in. He broke down powerful, no-cost strategies for reaching and converting potential customers. There are no ads or marketing budgets—just smart, creative, and effective outreach. It’s not magic—it's hard work. But when done right, the results speak for themselves. A massive thank you to monday.com for hosting us in their inspiring space. You made this session feel like home, from the stunning venue to the warm hospitality. 🙌 ⚠️ Heads-up -you might hear from one of our participants soon. And here’s a little secret... it’ll feel like just another regular conversation. 😈 Mamram Alumni Association - Yossi Melamed, Ishay Gavriel, Ehud Naos, Yanir Frumkin 🎗️| Google Cloud - Maayan Ronen, Elroy Mizrachi | Team8 - Ori Barzilay | lool ventures - Yaniv Golan | Pearl Cohen - Doron Latzer, Guy Lachmann, Hili Rashkovan | Next October
