    Why Israel Understands Risk Better Than the World ft. Eldad Tamir of Finq

    Most people think finance is complicated. Eldad Tamir (Founder of Finq) thinks it’s intentionally broken. On this episode of IsraelTech, we sit down for a raw conversation about why the middle class is set up to lose and how AI is changing the future of wealth management. Eldad explains how modern wealth management was built to serve the ultra-rich, why the middle class is pushed into bad financial products, and how human emotions quietly destroy long-term returns. We dive into psychology, Israeli risk-taking, the "B2C gap" in Israeli VC, and why Eldad believes we must remove humans from financial decision-making altogether. Key Topics We Discuss: - The Wealth Gap: Why premium financial services are reserved for the 1%. - Human Error: Why fear and emotion matter more than intelligence in investing. - The AI Revolution: How Finq uses data to remove human bias. - The Israeli Edge: What Israel understands about risk that the rest of the world misses. - Future Tech: Eldad’s take on Neuralink and the evolution of human decision-making. If you’ve ever felt the system wasn’t built for you, this episode explains why. Hosted by Yoel Israel --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!

    Has New York Replaced Silicon Valley for Israeli Founders? ft. Eyal Bino of 97212 Ventures

    For years, Israeli tech has often been described as a single, unified ecosystem. Today, that narrative is evolving. In this episode, Eyal Bino, founding partner of 97212 Ventures, explores how New York has emerged as a critical tech hub for Israeli founders outside of Israel - and how this global expansion is opening new pathways for growth, collaboration, and impact across the Israeli tech ecosystem. If you think success comes down to talent alone, this episode will challenge you. What we cover: - Why New York, not Silicon Valley, is becoming the default second home for Israeli startups - How Israeli founders change when they live in New York and what they lose and gain - The uncomfortable role luck plays in venture capital and why few people admit it - Why many VCs say they help founders but don't deliver when it matters - What a real day-one partner actually does beyond writing a check - Why branding as a “New York company” matters more than people want to admit - How introductions, trust, and timing beat pitch decks and cold emails - Why the venture model may be misaligned with founders and where it is cracking This episode is for founders who are tired of recycled advice and investors who know the real game is rarely discussed in public. --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!

    The Moment Investors Realize You Don’t Actually Have a Business ft. Eran Savir of Savyon Ventures

    What if the hardest startup to build is actually a VC fund? Most founders think raising money is brutal. According to Eran Savir, Founder and Managing Partner of Savyon Ventures, building the fund itself is a tougher climb than any startup he built. And after three exits and one painful failure, he has the scars to explain why. In this episode, Eran breaks down the real mechanics behind seed investing, why early traction matters far more than pitch decks, and the parts of founding that still surprise him even after years on both sides of the table. This is the rare interview where a VC speaks like a founder who still remembers every late payroll, every rejection, and every moment a company comes apart or breaks through. We cover: - Why Savyon Ventures focuses on AI, digital and commerce, and what “internet companies” really means in 2025 - The difficulty of getting your first real customer who is not in your personal network - Why Israelis excel at bold outreach and using the diaspora as a hidden distribution channel - How Eran evaluates initial traction and why three to five real transactions matter more than any warm intro - The surprising gap between being a founder and being a VC and why switching mindsets is so tough - What transparency looks like in practice and why most founders never get real feedback from investors and more.

    AI Is Ready to Do Every Human Task. The Only Thing Stopping It Is Hardware - ft. Boaz Touitou, CTO of Impala

    What if the future of AI isn’t just about faster chips - but about how people, teams, and entire countries will work once AI operates at massive scale? In this episode of IsraelTech, Yoel Israel sits down with Boaz Touitou, CTO of Impala AI, for a wide-ranging conversation that moves far beyond GPUs and hardware limits. We dive into: - Impala AI’s focus and why compute is the limiting factor - Training vs. test-time scaling and what changes at massive run counts - The GPU race and why new hardware overtakes the old instantly - What AI-first companies look like in practice - Employees guiding AI systems as part of their daily workflow - AI at national scale - from codebases to continuous video feeds - Why humans and AI aren’t as different as we assume - Self-play and reinforcement learning as drivers of rapid improvement - A landscape where knowledge is open and compute is the main hurdle Boaz offers a grounded, expansive view on where AI is headed - not just as a technology, but as a force reshaping work, responsibility, and the structure of modern organizations.

    Deel Runs 7,000 People With No Office ft. Yaron Lavi of Deel

    Remote work isn’t a perk anymore - it’s a real test of how a company operates. Some teams handle it with focus and speed. Others fall apart. In our latest conversation, Yaron Lavi, CTO of Deel, broke down what it actually looks like to run a fully remote company of 7,000 people across 61 countries - and why so many teams still get it wrong. Deel, a proud partner of IsraelTech, has built one of the most global tech workforces on the planet. Yaron explained why their model works: • Small teams, clear ownership, almost no bureaucracy • Hiring talent in places most companies never look • Engineers deploying 50 times a day • Parents often being the most reliable operators • And why juniors struggle without daily, hands-on mentoring He also didn’t shy away from the Israeli angle: We’re world-class at solving problems fast, but we still cling to habits that make remote work harder than it should be. Deel isn’t theorizing about the future of work - they’re living it at scale. And we’re proud to collaborate with them as part of IsraelTech’s mission to highlight the people shaping global tech.

    Israel vs. The Markets: A VC Explains Why It Keeps Winning ft. Yevgeny Gelfand of Alumni Ventures

    If you want to know where global investors get Israel wrong, ask someone who has built billion-dollar businesses and now backs founders for a living. Yevgeny Gelfand is a serial innovator and business builder who spent 15 years in financial services and SaaS, launching and operating new businesses that either exited through IPO or grew privately into multi-billion-dollar operations. After that run, he shifted into venture investing, backing and scaling startups across sectors and geographies. Yev, now a Partner at Alumni Ventures, joins IsraelTech to explain why so many investors still misread both the real risk and the real opportunity inside Israel’s tech economy. From New York’s political shifts to the quiet support he sees for Israeli founders, he shares what he’s observing firsthand: • Why global investors still misprice Israeli companies • How the economy strengthened after two difficult years • Why experienced investors treated October 7th as a moment to pay attention, not a moment to pull back • The reactions he gets wearing a kippah across the US • What happens when founders pitch during a rocket alert • And why he believes Israel is positioned to become a major center of tech If you want a grounded look at Israeli innovation, how VCs actually make decisions, and what may be coming next for the ecosystem, this conversation offers clarity most people don’t have. 🎙 Hosted by Yoel Israel --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!
