  1. She Left Cyber Money to Bet on Something Bigger ft. Yael Barsheshet of Deep33

    She Left Cyber Money to Bet on Something Bigger ft. Yael Barsheshet of Deep33

    Yael Barsheshet, partner at Deep33, spent 11 years as a Major in the 8200 unit of the IDF. When she left, every door in Israeli cyber was open to her. Three founding teams wanted her. The network was there and the choice was obvious. But Yael said no to all of it. Instead she joined Zebra Medical Vision, an early-stage AI company doing deep learning on medical imaging, because she believed the technology could change how people receive care. That decision set off a chain that took her through venture investing at Hetz, a semiconductor deal most generalist funds wouldn't touch, and eventually to Deep33, a new $200 million fund backing Israeli founders building AI infrastructure. The unglamorous, essential layer: compute, memory, energy efficiency, the bottlenecks that determine whether AI actually delivers ROI at scale. She sits in the New York office while her partners Michael Broukhim, Joab Rosenberg, Ori Amsalem, Lior Prosor cover the LA and Tel Aviv offices. Yael shares what 8200 actually teaches you, why deep tech in Israel is hitting its moment now, and what it looks like to build a thesis around the parts of the AI stack nobody wants to explain at a dinner party. Watch now! Hosted by Yoel Israel --- 00:00 - Intro: Meet Yael Barsheshet, Partner at Deep33 01:30 - What is Deep33 and why three coasts? 04:45 - Why WhatsApp beats Slack for a fast-moving fund 07:00 - The deep tech flywheel: Mellanox, Mobileye, and what they built 09:45 - 11 years in 8200: what those units actually teach you 15:00 - She left cyber money on the table.

  2. He Had a PhD and Still Thought He Was Worthless ft. Dr. David Leitner of Rhydlwood

    He Had a PhD and Still Thought He Was Worthless ft. Dr. David Leitner of Rhydlwood

    Dr. David Leitner, known as Dr. D, has worn many hats. IDF special operations soldier, direct PhD graduate, eight-year academic director at Bar-Ilan University, strategy advisor who has pulled founders back from the edge of collapse, and now, founder of Rhydlwood, a business hub for founders who are tired of figuring it out alone. Dr. D. was injured during the Second Intifada while serving as a sniper in Maglan, one of the IDF's elite special operations units. His injuries led to a severe nerve disorder called Complex Regional Pain Syndrome, one of the worst known pain syndromes on the face of the planet. It is also known as the "suicide disease". But across the two decades that followed, Dr. D wasn't just pushing through. He was paying attention. To what strategy actually looks like under pressure. To what leadership costs when the stakes are real. To what it takes to keep building when your energy is finite, and the world doesn't slow down for you. He took everything he was living, learning, and using with his clients and turned it into something more. That became Rhydlwood, a business hub where founders and small team leaders work through real business strategy together, with expert moderators, practical frameworks, and people in the same situation who actually understand. Hear all about Rhydlwood and Dr. D's journey in this week's episode hosted by Yoel Israel. --- Subscribe to our weekly newsletter 👉🏼 https://magic.beehiiv.com/v1/26afeab9... variable Follow IsraelTech on your fav social media feed X (Twitter): https://x.com/IsraelTech LinkedIn: / israel-tech Facebook: / israeltech48 Instagram: / israeltech48 TikTok: / israeltech48 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7fkZX1R...

    How This Ex-CEO Quietly Brought Millions to Israel After Oct. 7 ft. David Siegel of Israel Tech Mission

    Why are global tech executives continuing to pour capital into Israel, even in times of crisis? Former Meetup and Investopedia CEO David Siegel joins Yoel Israel for a wide-ranging conversation about Israeli tech, aliyah, resilience, and why global executives continue investing in Israel even during wartime. David shares the story behind Israel Tech Mission, an initiative bringing global tech and business leaders to Israel to experience the ecosystem firsthand. Since October 7, hundreds of executives, investors, and founders have joined the missions, leading to investments, partnerships, mentorships, and deeper ties to Israel’s startup ecosystem. The conversation also explores what international leaders misunderstand about Israeli founders, why health tech may be Israel’s next major sector, and how Israeli culture shapes entrepreneurship differently from Silicon Valley.

  6. She Told Monday.com They Were Too Big For Her. Then Stayed Four Years. | Alta CEO Stav Levi Neumark

    She Told Monday.com They Were Too Big For Her. Then Stayed Four Years. | Alta CEO Stav Levi Neumark

    Stav Levi Neumark joined Monday.com when it was about 15 people. She told them in the interview they were already too big for her. She stayed anyway, built an internal tool called BigBrain that connected company data to go-to-market decisions, watched Monday scale to an IPO, and then left to build Alta. In this episode, Stav compares the current GTM infrastructure problem to on-premise computing before AWS. Every company is building their own room full of servers, manually stitching together data sources, channels, and signals that should be connected. It's expensive, it's slow, and it pulls focus away from the parts that actually require a human. Alta connects to 50+ data sources and runs three agents across outbound, inbound, upsell, and full-funnel visibility. The product ships with a services layer, because when they ran their tests, people didn't want to self-serve. They wanted someone to tell them what to do with it. She came in expecting customers to know what they needed. They didn't. They knew something was off, they were leaving performance on the table, but they couldn't name what was missing. So she built a company that does the diagnosing too. They closed their first $1M over the course of a year. Then closed another $1M in a single month. Hosted by Yoel Israel --- 00:00 AI, intuition & the future of go-to-market 01:45 How Stav spotted the gap at Monday.com 06:00 Can intuition be taught? 08:45 How AI will change marketing, sales & support 09:20 Leaving Monday.com to start Alta 14:40 Building startup culture & moving fast 21:00 Why go-to-market infrastructure is broken 29:00 What Alta actually does (Katie, Alex & Luna) 39:00 Being a founder, mom & optimizing productivity 46:00 Final thoughts & outro --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!

    Founder Branding is Not an Option ft. Omri Hurwitz of Omri Hurwitz Media

    AI is not replacing humans. It’s replacing those who don’t know how to use AI. Yoel Israel sat down with Omri Hurwitz, founder of Omri Hurwitz Media. Omri grew his firm to 60 active clients by owning the media outlets his competitors were still pitching. He joins the show to talk execution, VC incentives, PR, AI, media ownership, founder branding, and why most marketers move too slowly. Omri breaks down why founders fail by trying to please investors, why great operators are rare, and why the future of PR belongs to companies that own both the asset and the distribution.
