14 years ago I worked for a while with a local Salesforce partner, and had a chance to experience, first hand, the amazing growth and expansion of that ecosystem in Israel. Fast forward to the end of 2024. Salesforce has since captured a massive #CRM market share here, as it did everywhere. It's a powerful brand. It has local offices. It has a thriving ecosystem of partners & professionals providing services to the market. It also bulked itself up in acquired products, and became a heavily complex platform, requiring very skilled people to operate. In short, it became the enterprise business platform we all now know. Also it left the SMB segment, which fueled its initial growth - behind. Simply put, the Total Cost of Ownership of Salesforce has grown well beyond the ability of a rapidly expanding number of small and medium sized companies (many of these in our war-strained hitech sector) to continue and justify paying for it to the CFO. It's not just the license costs. In my opinion, it's about how the C-suite has come to perceive the time gap between investing in a CRM, and the value it delivers, measured as pipeline & revenue lift. As long as that gap was tolerable, CFOs and CEOs let their CROs and VPs of Sales and Customer Service call the shots. Many of them demanded, and received, the budgets necessary to implement, expand and operate Salesforce. But that gap is no longer acceptable. Short on funding, riding a tight runway, facing a tough business climate, CEOs and CFOs are doubling down on everything that travels the shortest path to revenue, and dropping almost everything else. CRM doesn't generate revenue directly. Rather it helps the organization better manage its #revenueoperations, which is, by definition, a scale challenge. But it’s not a survival mode necessity. It’s not a must have when both volume and velocity are down. HubSpot has a different approach, and I for one think it aligns better with small to medium business needs than Salesforce’s.  When you purchase any of the core HubSpot hubs for your revenue team, be it Marketing, Sales or Customer Support, you get their CRM baked in for the price. Which means the value of your investment shifts to the departmental use cases and their benefits, rather than the operational infrastructure.  That shift aligns better, IMO, with how the CFO sees things, especially in SMBs, even more so in a rough business climate such as ours.

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

Amazing news for Israel, but maybe not so great news for the Israeli tech scene? Ilya Sutskever Raises $1 Billion for his New AI Venture! Bottom Line: Ilia Sutskever, one of OpenAI’s co-founders, has raised $1 billion for his new company, which aims to develop Super-Intelligence—an AI that can outperform human cognitive tasks with much (much) greater intelligence and efficiency. Just three months after announcing his new venture—Safe SuperIntelligence (which I wrote about previously) — it was revealed just a few days ago that Sutskever, a former Israeli and one of the brightest minds in the industry, has secured $1 billion at a $5 billion valuation. The funding round, of course, includes some of the most renowned investors in the world (Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital, and others). Sutskever founded the venture alongside @Daniel Levy, who worked with him at OpenAI, and investor @Daniel Gross. Pay attention to the word *Safe* in the company's name—it’s a core part of the mission these entrepreneurs have set for themselves. Sutskever says the company is laser-focused on one goal: creating the "holy grail" of AI research—Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)—which would be capable of performing any cognitive process humans can, including language processing, voice recognition, vision, understanding context, decision-making, and more. You can check out their minimalist website for more about their mission. Great news for Israel: The development center will be based both in Israel and Palo Alto. Slightly less great news for the local tech scene: A well-funded company is about to recruit top researchers, scientists, and developers locally.  Bigger picture — this is a big wow for all of us here in Israel. Israeli researchers - new job opportunities will soon be posted! #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #AGI #SuperIntelligence #IsraelTech

Last week Bria was ranked #20 of the most promising startups in Israel, kudos to the team! It is a long journey to build a startup. At 8 years old, I fell in love with mathematics, and at that point, I knew that's what I'd get my PhD in. That passion not only shaped my academic path but also ignited my interest in visual technologies and AI, which led me to pursue a PhD in computer vision. During my studies, I began to realise just how much the future of content would change with AI coming into the mix. Fast-forward to 2020, during COVID and before the Gen AI hype, I combined my understanding of how visuals can be generated with AI and the valuable enterprise experience I gained in my previous role at Trax Retail, to co-establish an AI startup called BRIA. We had one simple goal: To make it easy for any individual and company to generate the exact visuals needed for any use. Our key objective in helping you achieve this is to ensure that we provide you with a transparent, open, and responsible AI platform trained solely on licensed data, no public figures and deep fake, no privacy infringement. And in a world where more than 43% of people don't trust companies to use AI morally, Responsible AI use has never been more important. In building BRIA, we've been able to help businesses all over the world scale their content development process. And what gets me even more excited is that we've been able to partner with different creators to ensure that their creativity is respected, rewarded, and isn't pirated. We trained our own high quality foundation models and built the core tools of Generative AI so everyone can use it. The journey so far has been anything but linear, and I'm eager to continue sharing the innovative features we're developing, discuss the critical importance of Responsible AI, and explore how you can leverage our platform to its fullest potential. Join us as we pave the way for a new era of content creation, where innovation meets integrity.
