Nvidia Shopping in Israel This past week, Nvidia completed an acquisition of Israeli company Run:ai and is rumoured to be on the verge of announcing a second one of Deci. This underscores the remarkable technologies that are being developed in Israel and highlights Nvidia’s strategic and opportunistic investment approach. The ongoing war with Hamas has unfortunately led to a decrease in the valuations of Israeli companies. However, this presents a significant opportunity for global investors. It’s a chance to invest in undervalued assets and contribute to the growth of the most vibrant venture capital ecosystem outside the US. Whether it’s early-stage startups, pre-IPO, or public companies, Israeli firms are currently “on-sale”. However, given that this war will end and the resilience and innovative capacity of the Israeli people and the companies will continue, I bet this situation won’t last long. Now is the time to invest. #InvestIsrael #TechInvestment #GlobalOpportunity #ResilientInnovation
