Finding the right co-founder can make or break a startup. On this episode of Startup for Startup podcast, ClarityQ co-founders Orly Shoavi and Ronnie Sternberg talk about what it takes to find that match. For them, it started 10 years ago, with a shared vision that led to SafeDK, its acquisition, and now, ClarityQ, together with Adi Ashkenazi. Orly and Ronnie share the moments that defined their partnership—how they built trust, balanced their strengths, and tackled the challenges of growing a company together. They also talk about the tough calls, the wins, and what keeps them coming back to build, side by side. If you’re looking for insight into co-founding, or just want to hear a great story about teamwork, this episode is worth your time. 🎙 Listen to the link in the comments. #StartupLife #Leadership #Innovation

Sometimes, you walk into a room, and everything just clicks—that’s exactly what happened when SOMV’s Nir Adler sat down with the awesome team at Connecteam 😊 About 40 people from a growing, dynamic company came together, curious about entrepreneurship and hungry to explore ideas that go way beyond deadlines and goals. The conversation was real. Nir shared a no-fluff take on venture capital. From the macro trends shaping investments to what makes a VC take the leap on a startup, Nir gave everyone an inside look at how great ideas turn into fundable ventures. And, of course, there was plenty of insight into the global tech scene and what makes Israeli startups so unique. Huge shoutout to Oshrat Binyamin, Amir Nehemia, and the entire Connecteam team for creating such an open and inspiring space for this conversation. #venturecapital

Wow, what an event! After a whirlwind month of travels, there’s truly no place like home We had the honor of hosting Avi Issacharoff, creator of the global phenomenon Fauda, and Amos Haggiag, CEO of Optibus, for a fascinating discussion moderated by the incredible Merav Rotem Naaman. With over 100 attendees filling the room, the energy was contagious! Avi and Amos shared stories about the power of partnerships, building global success from local beginnings, and how resilience and innovation can turn challenges into opportunities. From reimagining strategies to scaling groundbreaking solutions, the conversation was a testament to the ingenuity and determination that define Israeli entrepreneurs 💪We also explored the surprising similarities between crafting a hit TV show and building a successful startup— both require a strong vision and bold innovation and share the same creative DNA.

At SOMV, we’re always ready to back our portfolio companies in action! Most recently, Omer Kalderon attended the Calcalist כלכליסט conference in Miami, where he watched Orly Shoavi from ClarityQ present how they’re redefining data access with their game-changing AI-powered analytics. Empowering teams to make quick, smart decisions is what ClarityQ does best—and we couldn’t be prouder to support their mission. This was our second time in Miami in less than a year—and with good reason. As always, it’s exciting to see the city becoming a growing tech hub, connecting Israel, US and Latin America in ways that open up new opportunities for go-to-market strategies and tapping into untapped markets. It was a true pleasure meeting you Maya Eisen Zafrir of LeumiTech, Ifat Bechor of Unistream - יוניסטרים, Hilla Ovil-Brenner of Arieli Capital, Shir Ibgui, Ayal Stern of Miami_Israel Collective, Judy Nir, Ruby Chen, Tal Cohen, Dov Fettman of Tevel, Doron Segev and so many many others! Miami was just one stop on our busy itinerary. We’re traveling a lot this month. Our next stop --> NYC 🗽 Stay tuned 🔔 #Miami #SaaSInnovation
