Aside from data, I have a great interest in psychology and, in particular, in interpersonal relationships and decision-making processes. Finally, I enjoy baking, and a carrot cake is my favorite (with a lot of cream cheese frosting!!)"

Our Startup Nation Finder Q3 2024 Israeli Tech Report is out! Proud to share the Q3 2024 Israeli Tech Report, which I had the opportunity to lead at Startup Nation Central. This report reflects not only an analysis of trends but the resilience of Israeli tech amidst significant challenges and shifting dynamics in global investment. This report’s insights were drawn from big data analysis to assist policymakers, entrepreneurs, and investors in making informed decisions. 👉Dive into the full report: https://okt.to/YbUlo7 This quarter’s report reveals mixed trends in Israel’s tech ecosystem: while private funding and M&A activity show encouraging growth and sustained confidence in high-impact sectors, a more cautious investment climate is emerging. Investors are increasingly selective, especially in later-stage funding, and public market concerns have affected IPOs and investor activity. These shifts suggest that, although the ecosystem remains resilient, stakeholders are balancing enthusiasm with caution amid evolving global and regional dynamics.

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

🔍 Transforming raw data into strategic insights: A critical part of my role as a Business Data Analyst at Startup Nation Central. At SNC, I analyze extensive datasets covering private investments, M&A activity, and other economic indicators that reflect the resilience of Israel's high-tech sector. Recently, I led a comprehensive survey project—formulating the questions, applying rigorous statistical methods, and translating subjective responses into actionable metrics. This work not only reached the executive level but also gained international visibility on CNBC. As Avi Hasson, our CEO highlighted, the $10 billion in venture funding into Israeli startups underscores the confidence global investors have in our ecosystem. In a dynamic investment landscape, it’s rewarding to provide the data-driven insights that support strategic decisions and strengthen Israel’s tech ecosystem. #DataScience #VentureCapital #IsraelTech #StartupNationCentral #EconomicAnalysis #InvestmentInsights #CNBC

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.

Since October 7th I have been closely tracking the Israeli tech ecosystem. Almost one year to the war I am proud to have led the effort to sum up this period in a comprehensive report. Data analysis was done with PowerBI, SQL BiqQuery and Excel. I think it is definitely worth reading! I would be happy to answer any questions! Packed with insights from our dynamic Startup Nation Finder platform and a survey sampling startups and investors, this report navigates the rugged landscape of the high-tech sector during these stormy times. The mood in the ecosystem points to jitters over the lack of sustainable government strategies and regional unrest. Nevertheless, the spirit of innovation endures! From emerging trends to resilient startups, investments and deals are still flowing in despite the hurdles. Dive into the complete report now and let the spirit of determination spark your inspiration. https://okt.to/2s9lvt Shoutout to @Einat, @Yariv, @Corinne, @Estie, @Dana, @Deema, Dana Cogan, Estie Rosen, Deema Wattad, Corinne Berzon 🇮🇱, Einat Ben Ari, Yariv Lotan, Startup Nation Central for their contributions!

A week ago today I took the stage at Content Israel as a key speaker. I transparently shared in a room with over 300 fellow marketers that the first thing my CEO always asks me when we brainstorm a new campaign or program is, “Jen, what’s your content distribution plan?” 7 days and 3 hours to the dot, Daniel Kushner 🐙 asked me to provide my content distribution plan for one of our latest customer programs ( side note: super excited to launch, it's still top secret, so do stay tuned) And you know what was front and center as part of that distribution plan? #EmployeeAdvocacy. Why? Because when you understand how to use employee networks to distribute your content you crack the code in making sure your content is seen by the right people, from the right people in your organization. You create meaningful and personalized customer journeys. You stay true to what social media was intended for-- being social, and build a people-to-people connection. You use the authentic voices of your employees to share the content you’ve worked so hard to create ensuring that your content sees the light of day, you get the credit you deserve, and you can measure the actual engagement and reach of that content far beyond your corporate profile. And most importantly, you build meaningful relationships and can understand what content was used to help build them... So my question to you is, do you include #EmployeeAdvocacy as part of your distribution plan? Sharing my slide on my thought process on how to use advocacy to build meaningful customer journeys if some may find it helpful.

Navigating Leadership in Today’s Israeli Landscape 🤹‍♀️ Being a manager in our current reality in Israel is undoubtedly a challenging task. Juggling numerous responsibilities while navigating uncertainty in various aspects can sometimes feel like an impossible mission. Yet, striving for excellence and achieving our business goals remains our priority. This week, we had the opportunity to attend a session for managers called “The Managerial Challenge in the Ongoing Israeli Reality: Tools for Compassionate Management.” This session provided a valuable space for us to openly discuss our challenges and explore practical tools for effective management during these unprecedented times. I found the discussions to be not only insightful but also essential for our growth as leaders. It was a reminder of the importance of empathy and adaptability in our roles, especially when supporting our teams. A heartfelt thank you to Inbar Mark and Neri Lahav for leading this important session. Let’s hope we won’t need to rely on all the tools we learned, but it’s reassuring to know we have them at our disposal. 👫 #teammanagment ##leadership #businessasunusual #amdocs #amdocslife
