    Non-standard advice from ITC and Swimm co-founder, Oren Toledano

    An 18-years-old from Paris makes Aliyah and becomes a 8200 Intelligence Unit major. Then he creates a company that helps Olim find jobs in the hi-tech industry. A few years later, *the same guy*, co-founds a company that helps developers onboard to new jobs or project. It’s not a Startup Nation fairy tale. It’s Oren Toledano, ITC and Swimm co-founder. In January 2021 he joined us for Hummus and Tech and shared all his non-standard advice for Olim.  A highly recommended listen to get inspired. Since then, Swimm has raised $27.6M, they are growing fast! (Applying to Swimm? Check out this episode for the best interview tips from Oren)

    Managing Uncertainty With Inbal Arieli

    Hey! We are back, and you MUST check this episode out. We've invited Inbal Arieli to help us crack the startup nation puzzle for those of us who didn't grow up in Israel. In her book, Chutzpah, she explains how a typical Israeli upbringing gives you all those traits that created the fast-paced startup and technology hub in Israel. Cool Olim fact: She highlights that the immigrant mentality shares much in common with those experiences. We'll go all over it and more! Aside of being a great author, she's the co-founder and CEO of Synthesis, and previously a founder of Startup Nation Central (which has proven super useful for Olim looking for a tech job in Israel).

    17 - Where does the funding for all these startups come from? [Before Corona]

    Sit back and relax. Let us take you on a trip to the past, before Corona times. We hope this episode recorded a few months ago, when everything was chill, will let you escape from your "which-day-is-it" routine. Now, let's turn up the beat! (I mean, continue reading but with a smile and a faster pace) For the first time in Hummus and Tech, we are covering the other side of the coin: where does the money to fund all the cool and innovative companies come from?
