The amazing Barak Danin is always sharing past lectures from conferences just before the next ones are coming. This is how I got in my mail this absolute gem of a lecture - how to design medical interfaces to add trust by the users. Adi Simon shares amazing examples of how to reorganize the data on your interface to build the trust the medical practitioners need in order to actually utilized the product. Highly recommended to anyone building medical systems. The lecture is free to watch after a quick registration (Unfortunately in Hebrew). #fertility #productmanagement

What is common between the Olympic Games and Product Management? Watching the incredible achievements of the Israeli team at the Olympic Games inspired me and got me thinking about the similarities between the journeys of athletes and product teams. Here are a few:  **Vision and goal setting: clear, ambitious goals and strategic planning drive both athletes and product teams forward.  **Continuous improvement: just as athletes undergo rigorous training, product teams continually refine their products based on feedback.  **Teamwork: success in both fields relies on collaboration—athletes with their coaches and teammates, and product managers with cross-functional teams. **Adaptability: both must adjust to uncertainty, whether it's on the field or in the market. **Resilience: overcoming challenges and striving for long-term success.

The Entrepreneurship Lab 🧪 @ Reichman University – GMBA 17 is about to begin! A new cohort of the GMBA program at Reichman University is kicking off, marking the start of an exciting journey filled with new ideas, solutions to real market problems, and entrepreneurs eager to make an impact. This is the time to dive into the most critical phase of the entrepreneurial process – identifying the problem and validating the real market need. When we talk about ideation, it’s all about generating creative ideas rooted in a deep understanding of existing problems and needs. But how do you know if your idea is the right one? By having conversations with your potential clients. 💡 Why is this important? Talking to people who experience the problem allows you to: 🔷 Truly understand the pain they feel. 🔷 Validate that the problem is real and significant. 🔷 Identify patterns and insights that will help you refine your solution. This is not the time to arrive with a fully baked solution; it’s the time to truly listen. Ask questions, uncover their pain points, and let their feedback guide you toward the right direction. 📢 Pro tip: Start by speaking with as many people as possible who could be your potential customers. Explore, dig deeper, and challenge yourself to ask the questions you might not have thought of before. Good luck, 17! There’s no doubt you’re on the path to creating something extraordinary. 🚀 Oren Zuckerman Laly (David) Scherf🎗️ Edik Mitelman 😎 - happy to be on this journey with you

Today, I came across a concerning trend that made me reflect on the state of our tech ecosystem. Despite the hype and excitement surrounding Israeli startups in recent years, the number of new technological entrepreneurship ventures has been on a steady decline. This downward trajectory persisted even during the explosive growth of 2020 and 2021. It's disheartening to witness the decrease in new early-stage tech companies sprouting into our ecosystem. The challenges we face seem to go beyond temporary economic crises or societal issues. The root causes may lie in how our government and investor communities are approaching sector strategies and regulations. As a part of the Israeli startup nation, it's crucial for us to address these underlying issues to ensure the continued growth and success of our tech industry. Keeping this trend going is not an option for our ecosystem, and it is maybe one of the most important challenges we need to think about in the near future. This graph came from the Israeli Innovation Authority's 2023 annual summary report and IVC data.

"AR computing!" Say goodbye to traditional laptops. An Israeli entrepreneur has innovated a technology that bids farewell to our traditional laptops. Tamir Berliner- founder of Sightful and the innovator behind the Spacetop G1! What is the Spacetop G1? Spatial computer that seamlessly integrates the functionality of a laptop with the capabilities Of Augmented Reality (AR). A 100-inch virtual workspace replaces the need for a physical screen. Spacetop G1 adapts to various environments, whether at home, in the office, or on the go. This represents a step forward in integrating AR technologies with daily tasks. Spatial with AR transforms how we interact with digital content, personally and professionally. The real test will be in its execution. The usability of the AR interface, the battery life, the comfort of AR glasses, etc., are crucial. I believe Sightful has managed to address these practical concerns effectively. And I am awaiting the official release in india. Congrats to Tamir Berliner and the team for their bold move and fantastic innovation. The Spacetop G1 is an evolution in how we think about personal computing.

Steve Jobs' Legacy vs. Apple Today: Would He Agree? As Apple faces allegations of sending employee donations to organizations with ties to the Israeli army and illegal settlements, one must ask: Would Steve Jobs, the visionary who revolutionized technology, stand by Apple's current actions? A recent report revealed that Apple fully covers wages for employees who go to serve in the Israeli military, directly supporting the atrocities taking place in Gaza. These donations reportedly fund military activities and illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank, despite Apple's stated commitment to human rights. With accusations of human rights violations, including torture and extrajudicial killings against Palestinians, Apple’s actions stand in stark contrast to the values Jobs championed. Would Jobs have allowed his company to perpetuate such horrors, or would he have used his platform for justice and compassion? It's time to reflect: How did we go from innovation and humanity to enabling genocide? #Apple #SteveJobs #CorporateAccountability #HumanRights #BoycottApple #WarCrimes #FreePalestine #EndApartheid https://lnkd.in/gBj-Wnbm __________________      ____________________    __________________ ENTITY (noun): A force or organization so devoid of humanity that it systematically commits atrocities and hides behind shallow justifications, a symbol of destruction, violence, and pure evil that must be eradicated from the human collective.

Do you live your life like a startup? I try to, but it sure ain’t easy. Fortunately my friend Yaniv Rivlin has some advice. (Open Thread) Last night I had the chance to hear my friend and former REALITY co-creator Yaniv speak about his book, Live Like a Startup at the Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) Book Festival, and I couldn’t be more proud of his message. Yaniv’s message is simple but powerful: to succeed in today’s fast-paced world, we have to think and live like a startup. 🚀 Here’s what stood out to me from his talk: 🔑 𝐄𝐦𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐔𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐭𝐲: Rivlin challenges us to lean into the unknown with confidence. Just like a startup navigating new terrain, we thrive when we view challenges as chances to grow and innovate. 🔑 𝐈𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐏𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞: In a startup, nothing is ever “finished”—and neither are we. Rivlin’s advice? Keep trying, failing, and refining. It’s about progress, not perfection. 🔑 𝐄𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐞𝐜𝐫𝐞𝐭 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐩𝐨𝐧: Rivlin emphasizes that startups succeed by deeply understanding and serving their customers. In our own lives, that translates to leading with empathy. By tuning into others’ needs, we can create more impactful and meaningful relationships. 🔑 𝐌𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐅𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭, 𝐀𝐥𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬: Rivlin reminds us to live with purpose. Like a startup driven by its “why,” we, too, should align our actions with our core values to stay motivated and focused. Listening to Yaniv speak, and reflecting on his life of growth and learning that I have witnessed first hand, his words reinforced to me that life is a journey of reinvention. If we adopt a startup mindset—driven by empathy, resilience, and purpose—there’s no limit to what we can achieve. And THAT is applied optimism. 🙏🏻 🎯 What about you? What have YOU learned by treating your life a startup? And who else should we follow on this topic? 📚Want to read more by Yaniv? https://lnkd.in/eUuN8ypC #ForbesImpactLab #TheHealthyImpactEntrepreneur #AppliedOptimism

This post is dedicated to my non-Israeli friends. But everyone’s welcome to read it :)   I’m sitting down to write this post about 10 minutes before the Israeli Memorial Day transitions to our Independence Day. Every year this is a nearly unbearable transition, from deep sadness to pride and joy. We are taught, from a very young age (as early as 6 years old, as I learned this year through my son), that these two dates were set intentionally, so that us Israelis will always remember that our independence came, and keeps coming, at great cost. This year, I feel it’s even worse than unbearable. It’s simply impossible. I find myself uncapable of celebrating Independence Day. As a nation and a country, we’re still at war. As an individual (and far from being the only one feeling like this), I’m still mourning. I truly believe we should still find ways to be happy and participate in or even initiate whatever activities that serve that purpose. But highlighting the achievement of becoming an independent country, of forming a safe country for Jewish people.. Right now it just doesn’t feel like the right time to do that.     And here’s why I’m writing to you, non-Israelis. I want to tell you more about what I’m mourning. I hope this will help those of you who see Israel at a mostly negative light, better understand the complexity of our reality.   Personally, I fully acknowledge Israel shares the responsibility over the truly shitty life of the people of Gaza. Along with that, I’m mourning what Israelis must live through right now: The tragic loss of so many loved ones, so many of them in terrible ways that I don’t think I’ll ever dare expose myself to. The need to leave their homes, and uproot their families, their whole lives. The fear that we’ll never feel safe again, not in Israel, and not anywhere else. The feeling I often struggle with, that I might never fully recover from my personal Oct 7 experience. That I will never be my best self again because of it – not the best mother I want to be, not the best partner, not the best friend, not the best employee.   So back to the complexity – you see, almost all Israelis are like me. People who just want to feel safe, just want to provide their kids with everything they need, just want to be able to celebrate without thinking about all that is wrong in the world.   I’m proud to be Israeli, although I’ve never felt more challenged to say it out loud.

𝐌𝐞𝐧, 𝐖𝐞 𝐍𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐓𝐚𝐥𝐤 𝐆𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫 𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐖𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐩𝐥𝐚𝐜𝐞. 𝐈𝐧 𝐓𝐞𝐜𝐡. 𝐈𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠. Today would be a great day for it. I just launched a six-part series, 𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝘽𝙖𝙣𝙖𝙡𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙤𝙛 𝙂𝙚𝙣𝙙𝙚𝙧 𝘿𝙞𝙨𝙥𝙖𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙮 𝙞𝙣 𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙥𝙤𝙧𝙖𝙩𝙚 𝙋𝙤𝙬𝙚𝙧. It's not a "how-to" on allyship. Not a polite invitation to "do better." No history lesson. I share solutions. Offer a raw look at the systems we, as men, have carefully built over the last 30 years—in the time of my working life—to hold power, lock out women, and perpetuate a system where money and influence flow in one direction: toward us. The corrupt beast that is us is now; it's deliberate, mechanical, and powered by a spectacular banality. This is no discourse on a relic of the past. Male-dominated hiring, promotions, and networks that systematically shut women out. The cost? It's steep—financially, operationally, ethically—saps value from our economy and souls. While we hide behind diversity awards and glossy PR statements, we build market-making teams that you and I've seen at 77% male or worse. If, like me, you're in a position of influence (pro tip: we're all in a position of influence), you're either maintaining or changing it. There's no middle ground. I don't hold any high moral ground. I can't lecture. I'm a man who's watched, contributed to, and benefited from these systems. I know the calculus of a male-dominated system from the inside; lay it out plainly—I argue it can be undone in any one company with aggressive, intentional change.

Ignorant brilliance This is Amir Peretz. He had limited military experience, yet he promoted the revolutionary defense system - Iron Dome - back in 2007. It’s difficult to imagine where the world would be without his ignorance and his long-term vision. When we started AppsFlyer, we lacked experience in the Internet, advertising, and marketing. This lack of expertise led us to invent something that didn't exist before. If you are experienced - it often makes it hard to embrace ignorance, but it is essential for innovation. If you lack knowledge or experience - remember that it is your advantage. In any case, an empty mind is key to innovation.
