Today is Israel’s 76th Independence Day. It is extremely difficult for Israelis to ‘celebrate’ what is usually the most joyous day in the country’s calendar because it’s not easy to celebrate when we still have 132 hostages 🎗️ in captivity and we are fighting an existential threat. Against this backdrop, the people of Israel have shown resilience and strength, humanity and humility. The #IsraeliTech continues to deliver #NoMattersWhat This great annual article by Calcalist כלכליסט shows a mere 50 out of hundreds of fantastic Israeli companies who delivered excellent results and provided superb service to their customers. As per Calcalist, for Israeli companies ‘If you succeeded in 2023, you'll succeed in any situation.’ As an investor, would you rather back a comapany that delivers results when times are good or those who can deliver when times are bad? I know what I’ll chose. No successful company can say it always had good times, and we all know we learn from hardships and failures much more than we learn and grow from successes. Imagine what those companies will be able to achieve when good times come (because they always do). Well done to all the wonderful companies who made the list and those who didn’t who continue to deliver. #Israel’sIndependenceDay76

Over the past decade, I have reviewed over 1,000 cv's in search for the best team members to join our team. I see a lot of people in Israel in need of jobs these days so sharing some tips from my experience as a manager and Organizational Psychologist that I hope can be helpful. If you have any questions or additional insights, please feel free to comment below or pm me. I divided the job-seeking journey into 4 stages: 1. Self-reflection 2. CV building 3. Networking 4. “Dating” your future boss In this post I will cover some pointers for the first 3 stages. Next post will cover pointers for the last stage. *Self-reflection* 1. Self-reflection and understanding what you are good at and what you are passionate about. 2. Who are you - Need to be able to answer this in 2-3 lines at the top of the CV. Are you a manager and looking to be in a leadership role or more of a hands-on executive? Is your focus marketing/sales/coding/project management? Pro tip: Ask your friends to be honest with you and share the value they see you bring. It will crystalize your own view as well. *CV and LinkedIn profile* 1. CV building - how does your future boss know you are great at what you do? What success and impact did you have that you can articulate with numbers? 2. The design is great. But the most important is the content. Make sure clear description in the header what you do and keep it short, with bullet points and a 1-pager. Make sure no mistakes. If there is even 1 typo, it is a no-go. 3. Passion talks. Years ago I hired a young man with very little experience because he came with great passion and told me how he taught himself code at age 11. See how you can find that story that highlights your greatness. *Networking* 1. Networking and asking friends for an intro or to put in a good word. Identify 10 people you will have coffee with to brainstorm your career. Some will give you great advice. Others will give you a good lead. 2. Don't only think about networking with those who can give you the job today but rather with those who know people that can help you. 3. The best way to build trust is to show your work in action. I once hired someone because he reached out and explained to me in a loom video why one of my client websites stinked and how that can be fixed. He didn't tell me what he does but showed me. What tips have you found as a manager that you would give future employees?

My co-founder Haja and I have been working in start-ups (which are SMEs) for a while now. We've experienced the highs of raising funds and securing large customers and we've experienced the lows of companies folding and the loss of income. What has been a constant is that, these companies could've potentially survived, if they possessed an impartial guide, like a GPS for their business. What if we actually had a proper way to analyze our data that didn't cost an absolute bomb? Could we have avoided the mistakes that cost us? This was the conversation between Haja and I when we met to start Pantherpulse. Why are SMEs relinquishing control of their data to large MNCs who charge millions to do simple analysis? What if SMEs could have someone do the one thing that would absolutely help guide them making business decisions? Taking their data and analysing it, with them in control of all of it? That's how we started. I'll spare you all the possibly boring technical details of me tinkering with various LLMs, sample datasets and RAG-ing the heck outta existing LLMs but that's what I did. So now, we've launched. Out of the shadows like a panther. The next bit is hard. The next bit is going to be painful. I'm not going to be delusional and say I'm not afraid; I absolutely am. That being said, it is my sincere belief that Pantherpulse will help SMEs and SME owners make critical decisions based on data. We'll be the GPS to your business with your data. Let us take you to your goal.

East Vs West About a year ago, the Israel Advanced Technology Industries (IATI) in collaboration with Deloitte Israel published the most comprehensive report on the contribution of the high-tech sector to the Israeli economy and society. The report aimed to identify and assess the contribution of high-tech to the Israeli economy, considering both quantitative and qualitative contributions. The report evaluates the impact of the sector on the Israeli economy in several dimensions: direct and indirect economic contribution to Israel’s economy, contribution to national resilience, improvement of labor productivity in Israel, and more. Due to space constraints, I will not delve into all parts of the report but will present the main figures: - 240 billion NIS - the direct contribution of the high-tech industry to GDP in 2021 (about 16% of GDP). - Between 2017-2021, 45% of GDP growth in Israel was derived from the high-tech sector. - 50-60 billion NIS - state revenues from high-tech industry taxation - about 65% of specific taxation. - 34% of income tax is attributed to high-tech workers. - 310-360 billion NIS - the total contribution of high-tech to GDP, including derivative contributions. - 67 billion USD - high-tech exports, about 54% of total exports from Israel. The contribution of the Israeli high-tech sector to the broader world is immense. Israel leads in the most innovative technological developments that benefit everyone globally, both in everyday use and in cost savings and energy efficiency. Israel’s location is in the Middle East, surrounded by enemies who seek its destruction. To deal with Middle Eastern enemies which embrace completely opposite values, it is necessary to fight them in a language and values they understand, otherwise, we will not survive here. The West must understand this as it faces increasing Muslim terrorism itself. Israel is making every effort to bridge this gap, and the developed West must stand by its side because they are on the same side, and time is of the essence.
