This morning at the Geektime גיקטיים Summit, we were once again reminded of the unstoppable force that is the Israeli tech ecosystem. 🇮🇱 The event itself was a testament to what only Israel can create.  It started with the deeply moving and inspiring story of Firefly who continue to push forward after the passing of one of their founders, Sefi Genis, at the Nova Festival - a powerful reminder that nothing can stand in the way of the Israeli will.  We continued with a GeekAward recognition of Next October for its contribution to the community—an initiative we’re proud to partner with, and absorbed a boost of optimism from Eon.io's success story. 🏆 During the panel with Ayala ( Aya ) Peterburg, Ophir Ehrlich Hanan Brand and Liran Grinberg, Maya Eisen Zafrir, CEO of LeumiTech, shared her insights on changes in financial management for startups: "𝙄𝙣 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙥𝙖𝙨𝙩 𝙩𝙬𝙤 𝙮𝙚𝙖𝙧𝙨, 𝙬𝙚’𝙫𝙚 𝙨𝙚𝙚𝙣 𝙩𝙚𝙖𝙢𝙨 𝙢𝙤𝙫𝙚 𝙩𝙤 𝙖 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 𝙙𝙞𝙨𝙘𝙞𝙥𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙚𝙙 𝙖𝙥𝙥𝙧𝙤𝙖𝙘𝙝 𝙩𝙤 𝙢𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙜𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙞𝙧 𝙛𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙣𝙘𝙚𝙨.

𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗠𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗔𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗮𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴? 💰 At our recent Sunday School session, Eran Bielski, General Partner at Entrée Capital, highlighted two critical insights for early-stage startups: 1️⃣ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗮𝗺 "In most early-stage startup investments, investors focus on one thing above all—the team. Great companies are built by great people. It must be a stellar team, obsessed with solving a problem and thinking big." 2️⃣ 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝘀 𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗘𝗾𝘂𝗮𝗹 "The person introducing you to a fund can be an important factor in success or failure. Ideally, this person knows the founder professionally and is also an expert in the startup’s domain. That’s a winning combination." Following Eran’s talk, experts from EY, Meitar | Law Offices and LeumiTech covered essential topics in early-stage capital raising, including optimal financial structures, incentives and grants, term sheets, and debt management. It was a session packed with invaluable advice for entrepreneurs looking to navigate the fundraising journey. 💡 Stay tuned for more insights! #StartupCapitalRaising #EarlyStageStartups #SundaySchool #Entrepreneurship
