    Building a Tech Startup - Alon Yariv, CEO @ Qubex | Acumen S3E7

    How do you drive change in company culture, without inspiring antagonism? How do you pivot your entire business's direction and keep everyone united behind the mission? How do you align your sales team around the business's goals? Alon Yariv is the CEO and Founder of Qubex and former CTO at SDatta with a BSc and MSc in Mathematics from Tel Aviv University. In this episode we discuss lessons learned from his experience as a young founder and CEO/CTO. It's a raw, honest conversation where Alon tells about things he got wrong the first time round. We compare experience as musicians turned into business leaders and discuss how to hire executives at the top level (hint: you're not interviewing them as much as they're interviewing you). ---- Connect with Dror Wayne on LinkedIn https://linkedin.com/in/drorwayne Follow Dror on Instagram https://instagram.com/dror.w Send Dror an email dw@drorwayne.com --- Connect with Alon Yariv on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/alon-yariv/ --- Alon's recommended reading for entrepreneurs is The Market Entry Strategy by Jacques Benkoski - it's not yet released to the public, check back here for an Amazon link soon! ---- Looking to learn more about growing an SME?

    Founder's Lessons Part 1 | Acumen S3E6

    Hey, this one's from me, your host, Dror. I usually focus on interviewing other people, but in this episode, I wanted to share lessons from my business experiences. I've so far founded 2 companies - one sold and one still active. I run my business 99% remotely and work an average of 8 hours a month on it. Here's the story and tips from my experience building MAGNIV out of an idea and £400 in a spare bedroom.

    Lior Avisar founded Door2Dor, the social initiative that swept across Israel during Corona and set an example to the world, using volunteer programmers to mobilise thousands of volunteers to help their communities. Now, she runs TYM, coaching Founders to shape their public persona. In this conversation we discuss how Lior advises her CEO clients not to listen to the common advice out there and rarely publish; the behind-the-scenes qualities she sees successful founders all share; the process of (in)validating business ideas and saying NO to your CEO clients to stop them making a fool of themselves. ---- Connect with Dror Wayne on LinkedIn Follow Dror on Instagram Send Dror an email dw@drorwayne.com --- Connect with Lior Avisar on LinkedIn ---- Looking to learn more about growing an SME?
