    Turning DNA Into Everyday Products ft. Eran Miller from MNDL Bio

    DNA Is the New Assembly Line From insulin to spider silk, synthetic biology is already reshaping what we eat, wear, and use - and you probably don’t even know it. The next leap? Taking biomanufacturing beyond pharma and into everything from sustainable food to lab-grown materials. That’s where MNDL Bio comes in, solving the biggest bottleneck: making DNA engineering faster, smarter, and cheaper. We sat down with Eran Miller - passionate about impact and sustainable development, with 10 years in international business development and 12 years in R&D. He’s bridging deep technical expertise with entrepreneurial vision to make synthetic biology tools accessible, affordable, and ready for the mainstream. We talk opportunities, ethical hazards, and why this “living manufacturing” could rival AI in impact. Would you trust products made by engineered bacteria or yeast?

    Pitch Deck Secrets They Won’t Tell You ft. Nina Raab from LionRun Consulting

    JUST DROPPED: An incredible conversation with Nina Raab of LionRun Consulting about the REAL secrets of startup fundraising! Nina’s story? She made Aliyah 1.5 years ago and built a 10-person consultancy from Tel Aviv to NYC. Now she helps seed to Series B startups raise serious cash - and 40% of her clients are Israeli. 🇮🇱 What blew us away: - Most founders waste time pitching to the wrong VCs - You need 3 different deck versions (not just one!) - VC analysts - not partners - often decide your fate - Israel's meritocracy beats Silicon Valley's credential obsession - She was originally going to co-found Israel Tech with Yoel! Nina’s 3-phase process covers strategy, storytelling, and investor meetings. Plus, she partners with boutique VCs as their value creation arm. Her biggest warning? Don’t take money too early. You’ll regret it later. And her best insight: In Israel, no one cares where you went to school. Just bring value. Watch the full episode now!

    Over 9,000 kilometers away, but still in control ft. Aviv Shapira from Xtend

    No pilots? No GPS? No problem! Xtend CEO Aviv Shapira is building the most advanced AI drone systems in the world - and they're already being used in Gaza, Lebanon, and Ukraine. We sat down with Aviv at Xtend HQ to break down: 🧠 How AI pilots can fly swarms of drones autonomously 🏙️ Why GPS-denied environments are no longer a limitation 🛰️ What really happened during the drone strike deep inside Russia 🇨🇳 How China’s drone dominance is reshaping global security ⚔️ And why tanks and fighter jets are becoming... obsolete? Aviv isn’t just another founder in defense tech. Before Xtend, he co-founded Replay Technologies, the Emmy-winning startup behind the FreeD volumetric video system used in the NFL, NBA, and by Intel - which acquired it for $200M. Today, he’s applying that same deep-tech mindset to transform how humans and machines interact on the battlefield and beyond. From AI swarms to drone summoning to replacing boots on the ground, this episode is a front-row seat to the future of autonomous warfare, made in 🇮🇱 Israel. 👇 What’s more dangerous: the swarm, or the country falling behind on building one?

    He built it to FIX WHAT AI KEEPS BREAKING ft. Meni Shmueli from DataFlint

    AI Can Write Code. But It Can’t Optimize It. That blindspot? Meni Shmueli built DataFlint to fix it. After years in Unit 81 and deep in the trenches of AI and big data, Meni saw the problem firsthand: GitHub Copilot and friends can generate code, but when it hits real-world scale - production clusters, terabytes of data, performance bottlenecks - they break. DataFlint gives AI the context it’s missing. It integrates with code editors, retrieves actual performance data, and enables AI to write code that runs at scale. In this episode: - Why AI coding tools fail when real data enters the chat - How DataFlint turns production pain into optimized code - What Meni learned about scale, speed, and system design from Unit 81 - Why big data is still a community game — and how DataFlint’s leading it - The future of engineers who know how to code with AI, not just use it If you're into AI infrastructure, data engineering, or wondering where the next big bottleneck in coding will be - this one's for you.
