In Israeli startups across high-tech, fintech, SaaS, e-commerce, and consulting, health issues often become a challenge for teams. Stress, long hours, hybrid work, and complex cases can directly affect productivity and retention. This is where medical coordination makes a difference: 1. Clear navigation Employees and HR don’t spend weeks figuring out next steps. Coordination gives direct access to the right specialists in Israel. 2. Fewer risks and delays From quick second opinions to arranging diagnostics, problems get solved faster before they become costly for the employee or the company. 3. Better employee experience Fast, guided access to care shows people they are valued, which strengthens loyalty and engagement. 4. Talent attraction Health support is now a strong benefit in hiring. It builds the image of a responsible, people-first company. With years of experience in medical coordination, I help Israeli startups with growing teams set up structured health support systems that reduce uncertainty, save time, ease HR workload, and keep key people performing at their best. If you’d like to explore how this could work for your team, feel free to reach out.

Something big is about to change in women’s healthcare. And it’s not coming from a hospital. It’s coming from startups. Living and working in Israel for more than a decade has taught me one thing: the most disruptive innovations often come from small teams with bold ideas. Cybersecurity. Artificial Intelligence. Medical imaging. Israel has already transformed entire industries. Now a new revolution is quietly emerging. Women’s health technologies. New tools are being developed that could soon allow women to monitor key aspects of fertility and pregnancy in ways that were simply impossible a few years ago. In some cases… without leaving home. We are only at the beginning of this transformation. I will share more very soon. #StartupNation #HealthTech #Innovation #FutureOfHealth #Medicalimaging #IsraelTech #Israel #AI

“Within 10 years, there will be at least 10 more Israeli companies like Wiz” Cyberstarts founder Gili Raanan, the first investor in Wiz, says Google’s $32 billion acquisition will reshape Israel’s tech ambitions.  “The sale of Wiz to Google is an event that goes far beyond investors, employees, or taxes. Just as the ICQ deal broke the first glass ceiling for Israeli exits, followed by Waze, which broke the billion-dollar barrier, Wiz is now shattering every possible ceiling. This will influence Israeli high-tech, the economy, and the country for generations,” says Gili Raanan, founder of the venture capital firm Cyberstarts and the first investor in the cybersecurity company.

Welcome Yossi Hayut, Managing Director at Wix Ventures, on this episode of 🔥 The Lantern 🔥 Wix Ventures is the Pre-Seed and Seed VC arm of Wix.com, writing first checks and backing exceptional Founders, where Wix can add real value as a distribution partner, design partner, or both. 🗺️ What's Wix Ventures building in 2026? 🗺️ Yossi and the team are launching Foundry by Wix Ventures. This program is a compressed, hands-on accelerator for early-stage Founders..and coming to Boston! They’ll be holding 4 batches across Boston, New York, Tel Aviv, and SF and the very first one launches in Boston on April 11th and 12th. Foundry includes 2 full days of product sprints with Wix's Head of Product, Head of Design, Head of UX, and Marketing leadership. They'll be sharing the exact frameworks used to build and ship products for 300+ million users globally. Plus they’ll include credits for Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, Cloudflare, etc. Applications are open now through March 22nd! If you're an early-stage Founder in Boston, you should really consider this program! 🤔 What has Yossi learned from building Wix Ventures? 🤔 Start building. Don't wait to get to 100%. Get it in front of people, close the feedback loop fast, and iterate from there. Yossi sees too many Founders sitting on ideas without shipping. Everyone can build now! The builders who win are the ones who put it out in the world, listen, and keep moving. 🤝 How can we help Wix Ventures grow in Boston? 🤝 Yossi went to MIT. He knows Boston has the talent and he believes Boston Founders have the curiosity and drive to build world-class companies. He also sees a gap in Product, UX, and Go-to-Market knowledge that Foundry is specifically designed to fill. Support Wix Ventures by spreading the word about Foundry and connecting early-stage Founders who are ready to level up their product. The Lantern is brought to you by MGMT Boston & Invest Northern Ireland – Americas this month.
