Israeli Sales Management and Customer Support Startup Acquired by the AI Giant Sana Ctrl (acquired by Sana AI), an Israeli startup with an AI-based platform for sales management and customer support, was acquired by Sana, an artificial intelligence company, to expand Sana’s product capabilities and accelerate development. Additionally, Ctrl will contribute another layer of actions that users can perform directly across all their platforms. Ctrl's platform automatically aggregates sales, support, and customer success team workflows related to customer acquisition and management, integrates with existing systems, and adapts to the specific needs of companies and users. Ctrl optimizes workflows using AI, sends updates to CRM fields, and advises sales and support staff on additional steps to take with clients. Ctrl was founded in 2021 by Omri Sagzan and Aviv Nahum. Earlier, Ctrl completed a $9 million seed funding round led by LocalGlobe and Earlybird, with participation from Dig Ventures, Jibe Ventures, and sales managers from Slack, Intercom, Personio, and Databricks. Sana has developed technology that allows organizations to build customized AI tools that serve as organizational assistants for any team or workflow without coding. Sana was established by Joel Halmerck in 2016. Aviv Nahum, co-founder of Ctrl, added, “Our vision and technology align seamlessly with Sana's core operations. By becoming part of the company, we will accelerate the development of AI-based solutions that revolutionize the way people work and make even the most complex tasks intuitive and productive.” Source: https://lnkd.in/gcAwnvuK

Please watch this video if you cherish life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The POTUS seems to have been hijacked not only by dementia, but also by Islamism, which is sweeping the free world like wildfire. As if 9/11 wasn’t enough. As if Oct 7 wasn’t enough. As if hijacking higher education and our economies in the free world wasn’t enough. It’s time for civil people to take back control and defeat Islamism. The only party that offers a way out right now are the Republicans as seen in this video, along with the Israelis who are fighting this evil while sacrificing their brightest in the process. Please consider making a donation to the speakers in this video, to Israeli soldiers at the IDF, and most importantly - speak up! Sitting quietly on the sidelines as the foundations of the civil world are shaken by Islamism (take 2, after WW2... Islamism is the ideology that inspired German National Socialism, and the one that denies it ever happened while disseminating Mein Kampf in Islamist school systems) is the worst we all could do. If you’re a Muslim that fled Islamism to live in democracies like the U.S. or Israel, you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness. If you consider yourself a liberal, if you’re gay - you especially are indebted to uphold the values of life, freedom, and the pursuit of happiness - you saw what it’s like under German National Socialism - which is today’s Progressivism, brainwashed by Islamism. Let’s fight and reject this horrific evil of Islamism together. There is no other way.

How to Bust Through Revenue Stagnation with the Power of Creative Thinking — with Ortal Green In this episode, we were joined by Ortal Green, an expert in creative and innovative thinking. With a background in IT startups in Israel, Ortal spent many years working in the high-tech industry where she realised that the ability to succeed in business comes down to our ability to think creatively and innovatively. This set Ortal on a path to eventually become a mindset shifter and founder of Success by Design. Ortal explains how, sadly, our education system does not develop our skills for creative thinking. In a large study, 98% of all children aged 5 were considered ‘creative thinkers’. By the time we become teenagers this drops to less than half, and by the time we become adults, it drops to less than 5%. Ortal Green shares four proven ways to expand your thinking creatively and innovatively, which inevitably leads to increased business revenue. If you’ve hit a revenue ceiling in your business and you’re looking for ways to break through to new levels of growth and success, please tune in! https://buff.ly/4bav5sk

GLC Israel team led by Keren Friedlander Our GLC TLV team got a chance to break bread together this past weekend to connect and share in the journey we have all had the past 10 months! In Hebrew they have a saying: מוכנים בדקת קריאה, תמיד ישנים עם המגפיים. Regardless of your political views it means that we "sleep with the boots on" which is a phrase that really spoke to me. It can be used in so many aspects of our lives. It means prepared, ambitious, focused, dedicated. A clear and sober mind. Logistics is about being ready for what is coming and finding the solutions every single day. Your GLC team is ready! Boots are on! :) #logistics #freight forwarding #Israel

  **Clean2Go System Concludes Successful Pilot in Negev Region, Israel**   We are excited to announce the successful completion of the Clean2Go pilot project in the Negev region, in collaboration with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and the Chief Scientist of Israel.  This innovative waste management platform has showcased impressive results, marking a significant step forward in our efforts to enhance environmental sustainability.   Key Highlights from the Pilot:   -Waste Account Reduction: Two participating municipalities experienced a remarkable decrease in waste metrics, with reductions ranging from 20% to 27%. This demonstrates the effectiveness of Clean2Go in promoting efficient waste disposal practices.   Private Contractor Work Reduction: The pilot also managed to significantly reduce the workload of private contractors, showing a decrease of over 80%. This decrease not only reflects increased efficiency but also promotes a more sustainable model for waste management.   Enhanced Truck Efficiency: There was a notable improvement in the operational efficiency of cleaning trucks, with a 15% increase in their productivity in work mode. This optimization ensures that resources are utilized effectively, leading to better service delivery.   The positive outcomes of this pilot highlight Clean2Go’s potential to transform waste management practices across Israel. As we move forward, we aim to incorporate these findings to further refine the system and expand its implementation including AI capabilities in additional municipalities.   Stay tuned for more updates as we continue our commitment to environmental excellence and community support through innovative solutions like Clean2Go.   For more information, please contact Kobi (Jacob) Kalderon Gold Ventures Investment #Network #Startups #VC #SmartCity #Investor #Goldventuresinvestment

Against all odds, in H1/2024, the total amount and number of deals grew for the first time since H2/2021. According to IVC Data and Insights and LeumiTech Tech Review, Israeli tech companies raised $4.78 billion in 226 deals in H1/2024. The growth wasn’t just a result of Wiz’s $965 million round. Without this deal, the total capital raised in H1/2024 was 19% higher than in H2/2023, with 3% growth in Y/Y figures. On the quarterly level, Q2/2024 was the first since Q1/2022 when the amounts and the number of deals were above their sequential (Q/Q) and annual (Y/Y) comparisons. So far, 2024 is set to be a positive year compared to 2023, following the two years of the downtrend. More key findings: 📈 The number of deals in H1/2024 is on pace to be much higher than 2023. 💰 Six cyber mega deals (over $100m each) accounted for nearly 60% of the total capital raised in Q2/2024 (Wiz’s deal excluded). 🚀 Seven mega deals (Wiz, Island, Semperis, Cyera, @Coronet, Axonius, Claroty) totaled 81% of capital raised in H1/2024. 💼 In H1/2024, total exits reached $8.28 billion in 53 deals.

Yuval Regev and his BI & Analytics team at Atera, the world’s first AI-powered IT management platform, lifted a core business KPI by 34% using the Loops Feature Impact Model. We are so proud and delighted to work with this leading analytics team. Initially, the naive effect (before/after) of a recent feature release appeared to have a positive outcome. However, with Loops they not only discovered that the causal effect was negative, they were empowered to make a series of iterative changes to maximize the KPI. You can read their case study to learn more about the process Yuval and team applied in making this significant impact on growth at Atera. #productledgrowth #causalml #causality https://lnkd.in/euc2JQDU
