English below >> החשש הכי גדול מAI זה מה יהיה איתנו? מתוך זה מאוד עניין אותי לשמוע על הגישה של Do more with more - שזו הפרקטיקה שהתגלגלה מכל המהפכות באנושות. פרק אדיר עם Ronni Zehavi, מנכ"ל ומייסד - HiBob- חברת ה HR-TECH מהמובילות בעולם, יצור כחול לבן. ניגע במיקס של דורות ובאתגרים שזה מייצר. מדברים על סיפור חיים של אח שכול, הצלחות וכשלונות ומתפללים לשובם של כל החטופים. תתרווחו - הפעלנו חימום. אין כמו Avichai Haim Pour, Google for Startups בחורף ❤ The biggest concern about AI is, what will happen to us? From this perspective, I was particularly intrigued by the "Do more with more" approach – a practice that has evolved from all the revolutions in human history. An amazing episode with Ronni Zehavi, CEO and founder of HiBob – one of the world's leading HR-Tech companies, proudly made in Israel. We touch on the mix of generations and the challenges it creates. We talk about the life story of a bereaved brother, successes and failures, and we pray for the return of all the hostages. Get comfortable – we’ve turned on the heat. Nothing like Avichai Haim Pour, Google for Startups Israel, in the winter ❤

Take a look at this picture. It was taken today at our Salesforce offices in Tel-Aviv. It shows a few dozens of Salesforce Israel employees in one of our regular all-hands meetings. What's so special about that? Well, that picture was taken exactly 36 hours after Iran launched a massive aerial strike against Israel with 100s of UCAVs, ballistic and cruise missiles carrying about 60 tons(!) of explosives. Thanks to the Israeli Air force, the air forces of the US, UK, France, Jordan and others *and* Israeli innovation and engineering talent who developed the most advanced multi-layered air defense systems in the world - luckily that attack ended up with relatively low impact. It was a sleepless night for all us in Israel who got an advanced notice of the attack and basically spent that night bracing for impact. Now take another look at this picture. 36 hours later - People showing up at the office, talking to each other, having a few laughs, having meetings, discussing deadlines, solving business problems, discussing engineering problems, doing demos, having coffee and lunch together, having an all-hands meeting together. 36 hours ago we were bracing for impact of 60 tons of explosives that were about to fall out of the sky. Take another look at this picture - This is how resilience looks like. You can count on us. We deliver. No matter what. https://lnkd.in/eXSvz3xv

We are excited to announce the collaboration between VOYA and GoGIS, the official representative of Google in Israel. The Google Maps API offers advanced tools and services, but its complexity requires proper planning to optimize requests and fully utilize its capabilities. This partnership with GoGIS helps us tailor these tools to the unique needs of our system. I highly recommend other startups to approach GoGIS for professional guidance to ensure efficient use of the Google Maps API. A special thank you to Judith Yehudit Yogev for her support, attentiveness, and guidance throughout this process. Together, we can deliver advanced solutions and enhance the user experience.

Israel=Me I've had an incredible career as an Israeli tech and real-estate entrepreneur working for many years at Microsoft, board member at Azrieli Group, and building, exiting and IPOing AI and Internet companies. But the most fulfilling role of my life (besides being a dad of three gorgeous girls, and a husband to my adorable wife Liat❤️) is advocating for Israel, my beloved country🇮🇱 As I traveled over 50 countries in my lifetime, with only an Israeli passport at hand, met 1,000's of people who made my 15,000 LinkdIn community, having numerous global connections and business interactions, the one thing I love and totally passionate about is being an advocate of Israel and Jewish tradition. I nowdays find myself and my social network team, spend about an hour every day trying to block and track down anti-Israelis, who constantly add endless defiant comments to my posts, and report my posts to LinkedIn for being too pro-Israel. I estimate that I've already blocked over 7,000 such LinkedIn members, who commented and looked at my profile. Despite the fact that I got suspended multiple times on the incredible LinkdIn platform, I plan to continue sharing my views and values as an Israel patriot, and not backing down to professional networks terrorists and radical Islamists suppoertes. I get 1,000's of personal comments and feedbacks from colleagues and friends globally, who share with me how they are able to stay up-to-date with the events in Israel, and Jewish people from all over the world who are drawing strength from hearing the direct Israeli prespective, rather then through the bias media. I'm also overwhelmed with the business offers I get from all over the globe to do business with Israel. Watch out for a new partnership talking place with Saudi Arebia 😉 Once people apprach me, they feel like they know me well already. Strange. Anyway, I urge you to continue to reach out to me, comment, like, and most importantly REPOST, as my posts now reach about 100,000 daily impressions with over 1.1M Linkediners #standwithIsrael #business #investments #leadership #creativity #Israel #Jewish #LinkdIn #authenticity

"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.

This article in Mekomit highlights how easy it is for people to get lost in their daily routines, prioritizing their own comfort and avoiding tough questions. Meanwhile, their taxes and silence help enable horrors like starvation, torture, and genocide. It’s a stark reminder that indifference isn’t neutral. It has consequences. We must choose to stay aware and act against such injustices.

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?

There is something very special about monday.com, ironSource, Yotpo, Lemonade, Fiverr, Playtika, and the other B2B startups that were founded in the early 2000s. They built the playbook that the current Israeli startup ecosystem stands on. I would love to interview these founders: Eran Zinman & Roy Mann CEO monday.com Tomer Tagrin. CEO Yotpo Tomer Bar-Zeev CEO ironSource Micha Kaufman ceo Fiverr Daniel Schreiber CEO Lemonade Or any founders that built from the early 2000s and still building. If someone can make an intro or ask them directly to come on the Founder StorieZ Podcast I would greatly appreciate it 🙏

This measure, part of the broader "National Infrastructure Bill" enacted a year ago to close Israel's major infrastructure gap, is HUGE. It aims to overcome the "Utility Coordination" challenge, notoriously the weakest link in every project life cycle — key to delivering Israel's mega-projects on time over the next decade and essential for sustaining rapid economic growth. Why is this so crucial? - Israel's productivity gap (GDP per hour worked) is the biggest challenge to realizing its economic growth potential. - Alongside the demographic challenge, aggressively addressing the "Infrastructure Gap" is a top priority. - Approximately 25% of the productivity gap is attributed to infrastructure deficiencies in transportation, particularly mass transit. - Over the next 10-15 years, Israel will invest more than NIS 0.5 trillion in capital projects for Transportation and Energy (1.5-2% increase in investment of GDP annually). Streamlining projects = closing the "infrastructure gap" faster = GROWTH. Adi Hachmon Iliya Katz Yuval Avigdor Dana Dover Itzik Daniel Esti Feldman

What’s it like to be a recruiter in a thriving startup during a war? Merav Blum one of Fullpath 's incredible recruiters, shared her recent experiences within the Israeli recruitment sector. "Every time there’s an announcement of a fallen soldier or reservist, I find myself instinctively checking my LinkedIn connections. So many of our active miluimnikim are also family men and women, high-tech workers, talented developers—people I’ve likely reached out to, interviewed, or even worked alongside. It’s amazing how interconnected our professional and personal networks become in moments like these, and how deeply it affects us all. I’ve been in the field of Talent Acquisition for a few years now, and I love what I do—the mix of humanity and compassion vs impact and business needs, all while meeting KPIs and deadlines. But since the war began, the “human” aspect of my work has taken on a whole new meaning. As HR professionals, we are often the first face of the company a candidate encounters—their first glimpse of who we are, what we value, and how we treat people. This responsibility has never felt more significant than it does now. Over the past 450 days, I’ve lost count of how many candidates have told me they need to postpone an interview or delay completing a task because they were called up for reserve duty. They often sound nervous, apologetic, as if sharing this will somehow harm their chances. It won’t. I always give more time, more space. It’s my small way of contributing—keeping the day-to-day moving, continuing to work and supporting those who need it. Really seeing people, and helping them feel valued, even in the toughest of times. This is what I can do for my country, for my candidates, and for the people behind the résumés. And maybe that’s what we all need right now—a little more humanity, a little more understanding, and the strength to keep moving forward." #recruitment #israelstartup #reservists #startup #hiring
