    What's Next for Israeli IPO's? - with Oren Zeev

    Find us on: 📺 YouTube 📸 Instagram 💼 LinkedIn 𝕏 Michal on X 𝕏 Yonatan on X 📩 Write to us here 📈Our WYNDEX update for today: The WYNDEX is in the green for its fourth week in a row. That said, this week the Wyndex fell below the NASDAQ’s 2.91% post-labor day rally. This week we saw most of the movement (4.5% through 8.52%) outside the cyber domain. Digital bulls (Etoro, Oddity, Global E, and Wix) continued their march and lifted the index up. Palo Alto Networks and Cyberark with a modest rise of 2%. Two notable red dynamics: Varonis completed an acquisition of Slashnext (an AI native email security company) for $150mm total deal value and suffered a %5 share price decline. And the ICL group shed 5.59%.  🎯Our Big Shorts for today: Israel’s state comptroller issues a damning report on the government’s handling of civilian affairs post-Oct. 7th: The report charges that civilians “experienced the failures of the Israeli government firsthand” - including those evacuated from homes in the North and South, reservists who have been continually drafted, and business owners who have been impacted by the war. India and Israel have inked a bilateral agreement: Not a lot of details yet but it’s being hailed as a “strategic step” to open doors for Israeli & Indian investors, strengthen Israeli exports, and provide more certainty for both countries in doing business with each other. (India is already one of the biggest purchasers of Israeli arms.) 🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with Oren Zeev, a solo venture capitalists who has backed many companies started by Israeli founders: Houzz, Decart, Navan (formerly TripActions), and Riverside, to name a few. We talk to Oren about the current state of the IPO market & other opportunities for exits, what he’s seeing from Israeli founders today, and what it means to be a “solo VC/GP.”  📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune. Together, they unpack the headlines, trends, and data driving Israel’s  economy and its future.  ⚖️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER This podcast offers general business and economic information and is not a comprehensive summary for investment decisions.

  2. Israel and Germany: It's Complicated

    Israel and Germany: It's Complicated

    Find us on: 📺 YouTube 📸 Instagram 💼 LinkedIn 𝕏 Michal on X 𝕏 Yonatan on X 📩 Write to us here 📈Our WYNDEX update for today: A classic August hibernation week for Wall Street, with both S&P and NASDAQ with a fraction of a percent movement - compared to a whopping 2.44% rise in the WYNDEX.  Topping the movers this week is Monday.com with 8.49% in the green. Other notable moves in the green are Elbit with 6.5% and Nova Measurements with 4.17% on the back of the stunning Nvidia earnings report. In the red, we have Lemonade shedding 6.9% and ZIM losing 5.29% after news of Turkey closing its ports to Israeli shipping companies turned into a stark reality. 🎯Our Big Shorts for today: New data shows increasing signs of growing consumer weakness in Israel as household savings difficulties emerge. Case in point: Only 28% of households now manage to save money at the end of the month (compared to 40% before the war). This is also the first August in five years in which we see a decline in credit card activity compared to the previous year. What does this all mean?Serbia comes into the light as the client of the recently reported $1.6 billion defense deal led by Elbit, which was first without mention of the client country due to “political sensitivity.” This is yet another sign that Israel’s defense tech sector is continuing to grow. 🔎And our Long Play today is a dive into the current state of Germany’s economy and why the European country’s future is interlinked with Israel’s. With a GDP of around $4.5T, Germany is the third largest economy in the world (after the US and China and just ahead of Japan) + of course the largest in Europe. It is also Israel’s second-largest trade partner and a long-time supporter of Israel, defending it from European sanctions. Now, as Germany’s economy stagnates - and the future of its political leanings seems uncertain - where does that leave Israel? We analyze the current challenges plus discuss new opportunities for the two countries to work together.  📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.

And topping the greens this week is Israeli 3D Printing leader Stratasys with a 17% gain. 🎯Our Big Shorts for today: Israelis are withdrawing funds from “self improvement” savings accounts at a higher rate than before.

We discuss how Israelis feel about this line item and what it means for the overall budget.🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with tech investor Michael Eisenberg, all about Israel’s ability to attract top talent, and what new incentives for those making Aliyah can do to push these efforts along. Michael is co-founder of Tel Aviv-based venture capital firm Aleph.

After a rough stretch, PANW and CARK are back in the green with 6% gains each. But the big story of the week is a massive drop in one of Israel’s golden digital innovators, Monday.com, which shed 29% this week despite posting strong Q2 earnings.  🎯Our Big Shorts for today: Israeli marketing analytics platform Appsflyer is reportedly in talks to be acquired by a PE firm at a valuation at or above $3.5B🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with Netta Barak-Corren, a legal scholar and cognitive scientist, law professor at the Hebrew University in Jerusalem, about her work combatting Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) targeting of Israeli academia. 📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.

We covered a two-week period this time (July 28 - August 8th) and the numbers aren’t so nice to look at: WYNDEX shed 4.41%, mainly driven by a 18.31% decline in PANW and a 14.52% decline in CyberArk. 🎯Our Big Shorts for today: Israel’s Leviathan natural gas field signs largest export agreement in country’s history - with EgyptIsraeli AI committee calls for 25B shekel budget over five years, and publishes a critical assessment of the current state of Israeli AI 🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with Lux Capital’s Josh Wolfe, a New York-based investor known for his bets on scientific and technological breakthroughs, all about the boom in defense tech and Israel’s increasing role in the sector  📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.

    Can Israel Become a Crypto Nation?

    Find us on: 📺 YouTube 📸 Instagram 💼 LinkedIn 𝕏 Michal on X 𝕏 Yonatan on X 📩 Write to us here 📈Our WYNDEX update for today: It’s the second week in a row in which the WYNDEX is rising over 1%, beating both S&P and NASDAQ. This week we’re at a 2.19% increase for the Wyndex, compared to 1.33% for S&P and 0.71% for the NASDAQ. Etoro leads the pack with 14.62%, in anticipation for a product update which is garnering a lot of attention. Word around the street (and retail investor forums) is that the recent GENIUS Act is about to fuel significant growth for the crypto friendly product.  🎯Our Big Shorts for today: Intel’s continued decline: The semiconductor company reported earnings July 24, and while the company beat analyst expectations on quarterly revenue, it also announced even more cost cutting efforts: it’s in the process of cutting 15% of its workforce, canceling projects across the globe, and now it looks like it will also spin off its networking unit. None of this bodes well for Intel’s activities in Israel, where it’s still one of the largest tech employers. New report on how desalination is critical to the Gulf’s future; could Israel play a role here? An interesting article from the Atlantic Council came across our radar last week, all about how the Gulf states’ future (or at least their ability to truly diversify their economies by leaning into tech and AI) could rely on their ability to develop large-scale desalination capabilities + marry these with their data center buildouts. We talk about Israel’s desalination “blueprint” and if/how it could apply to the Gulf.  🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with Nir Hirschmann Rub, CEO of the Crypto, Blockchain, Web 3.0 Companies Forum. On the heels of “Crypto Week” in the U.S., we talk about the state of crypto in Israel… and some of the unique challenges & opportunities the industry faces in the country.  📅 New episodes drop every Wednesday What’s Your Number? is hosted from Tel Aviv and Silicon Valley by Yonatan Adiri — Israeli entrepreneur and former advisor to President Shimon Peres — and Michal Lev-Ram, Israeli-born Silicon Valley-based tech journalist and contributing editor at Fortune.

Liran’s lab was in the building that received a direct hit from an Iranian missile in mid June.
