Looking at the latest wealth rankings connected to Israel, one thing becomes very clear: the country continues to prove why it is often called the “Start-Up Nation.” Entrepreneurs and investors such as Miriam Adelson, Idan Ofer, Eyal Ofer, and founders behind companies like Playrix, Check Point Software, and Wiz (company) represent a powerful ecosystem built around technology, innovation, global trade, and venture capital. What makes this especially interesting today is the global movement of capital. In times of geopolitical uncertainty, investors increasingly focus on three key factors: • Security • Stability • Innovation-driven economies Despite the challenges of the region, Israel continues to produce global technology leaders and billion-dollar companies, proving that strong ecosystems and entrepreneurial culture can create enormous value. It is also encouraging to see that Israeli capital and innovative technologies are increasingly entering the markets of the Western Balkans. These investments bring not only funding, but also expertise, technology transfer, and a strong entrepreneurial mindset. As a result, the region is developing rapidly, attracting new international partnerships, and moving forward as one of the most promising emerging markets in Europe. The global map of wealth is constantly evolving — and those who understand these shifts early will be best positioned for the future. #investment #innovation #startups #israel #technology #venturecapital #westernbalkans

CRM can be your best tool or your biggest time sink. Rob Israel says it best: “CRM can be powerful when used correctly, but if you’re just logging activity for the sake of it, it’s like paddling upstream.” Use CRM to understand your deals, not to check boxes. #CRMStrategy #SalesEnablement #SalesLeadership #DigitalTransformation #SalesLeadDog

☕ From a coffee on vacation to a category-defining acquisition by Salesforce, former CEO Sam Gutmann's journey with Own Company’s (a Vertex Ventures Israel portfolio company) is a masterclass in focused execution and people-first leadership. Sam shares some lessons from his journey: 🎯 Focus is a superpower: Say no until you can say yes properly. Own stayed all-in on Salesforce until the foundation was unshakeable. 💡 Hire ahead of the curve: Bring in people who’ve done what you’ll need two years from now—you’ll get there faster. 🤝 Ecosystems are built, not browsed: Treat platform partnerships as a core function, not a side task. Invest in the relationship and the results follow. 🧭 Choose the right investor for the journey: “He could sense when he’d pushed hard enough. ‘I know you’re not comfortable with this—but it’s my job to keep pushing until I see that’s really enough.’ Most investors either don’t push at all or don’t know when to stop. Aviad had the balance down to an art.” - Sam on Aviad Ariel of Vertex Ventures Israel, an early investor in Own Company 👇 Read the full story in our interview with Sam as he shares his candid, hard-won lessons in the report below.

If there’s one thing that defines the vibe in the Israeli startup scene, it’s the unstoppable drive to build. It’s tough, and we’re all feeling the anger and sadness of the moment.

👉 Here’s what most Sales Directors/CEO’s don’t know: cutting 30% of your pipeline is often the fastest way to hit target. You feel it in your gut before the numbers confirm it. Big pipeline, “green” dashboards… and a knot in your stomach. You keep deals alive because it looks safer than telling the truth. But every quarter ends the same: you’re carrying the story, and the story is carrying you. Enterprise sales isn’t an addition problem. It’s a subtraction problem. When you strip out fiction, self-trust returns—and the team can finally focus on winnable work. Start with four yes/no questions for every “key” deal: ·      Do we have executive access (within 7 days)? ·      Do we know the real budget owner? ·      Do we have an active internal champion? ·      Do our fingerprints show up in the scope (our thinking shaped it)? If any answer is “no,” it’s not a forecast—yet. A leader I coached trimmed a glossy pipeline on a Friday. Told the team: “We only run at evidence.” On Monday, the board saw a smaller forecast—and believed it. The quarter landed at 102% of the revised number. More truth, fewer stories. 👉 Save this for the moment you’re tempted to keep a deal on life support. Choose truth over theatre. Numbers don’t lie—and neither does your gut.
