The Israeli Tech Success Story
Israel has more companies listed on the Nasdaq Stock Exchange than any other country except the United States
Per capita VC funds raised in 2000:
Israel: $600 per capita
Europe: $30 per capita
The world's highest per capita count of engineers
The highest density of high-tech startups
Nearly 4,000 in a country of six million people.
High-tech now contributes approx 50% of exports, $15B+ in 2005
Israel is like Silicon Valley or Boston-
Compact Geographical entity-2hrs to any deal
Informality is a way of life-Bibi, Dudu, Muki, Chemi
Risk taking is endemic
Pioneering Ethos
Immigrants drive the process
International networks and experience
Everyone questions authority – “every bastard a king”
Flat, anti-hierarchical social organization
There are no “unknown millionaires”-a real community
Building startups has become the national sport; entrepreneurs - the new cultural heroes
Why Israel? It’s the Culture
Startup Models Change From local startups, to global startups
We have come a long way from “I won’t invest unless I can ride my bike to all the key employees”
Seed round questions are now: “What is your China strategy? Why not build the product in India?”
Not having offshore development is seen as a disadvantage
Israel companies have inherent advantage since we have always built baby multinationals—the ‘Israeli model’ has gone universal
Now we move to three-headed companies and companies with early and primary focus on Asia
