Mainly on my channel, Focus Point, I explain how and what to do for reaching success. Now it's time for practical cases! Very soon, there will be an interview on the channel with Nadav Shoval, CEO and founder of OpenWeb, our first Israeli unicorn. We invested in this company at an early stage, and today it is a leader in its industry. Nadav talked about his story and views, shared how he managed to achieve such impressive results. I'm sure the OpenWeb case will be useful to many, especially those interested in learning how to set goals and achieve success, even for established players. To not miss out, subscribe to my channel.

**An Israeli Startup Entrepreneur’s Response to Darkness, Part II** Imagine someone asked you to go into a room and turn off the dark. ?!?! What would you do? Of course, you would turn on a light. And if they asked you to turn the dark back on, well, you would turn off the light. Because darkness does not have a switch – it has no ‘שימוש’. It is the absence of light, or the presence of light. You want less darkness? Well there is only one question to ask – one thing to do: Turn on a light. Most of the corporate business world deals with trying to turn off the dark. That is, they sit with the status quo, and move around existing technologies and resources in order to create different results. Not us entrepreneurs. No sir. No Ma’am. We light new lights. ‘ויהי אור’ – Let there be light.  We have these highly unusual spirits. Where others see painful gaps that must be managed, we imagine new solutions. Where others struggle with existing darkness, we find new ways to create light. The cool thing about light is, that unlike any other element, it multiplies without diminishing when you share it. It’s like my teacher, Rabbi Shlomo Carlebach once said: “If I pour you some water from my cup, now we both have half a cup (before, I had a full cup). But when I light your unlit candle with my flame, now we have two flames. And when we join them together, the sum is greater than either part. That’s us Israeli entrepreneurs. And the thing is, we have another crazy power.  I think it comes from us Jews waiting 2,000 years to return to our homeland, always believing it was going to happen “any day now!”  Yeah, doesn’t that sound like most startup founders that you know?? You see, it is in our DNA. We don’t do ‘hopelessness’. We are more tenacious than even Jack Black. ‘חוסן’ - 'Resilient' - is our middle name. So let’s remember who we are, my dear fellow members of the Israeli Startup Community. Our Nation needs our Superpower.  Let’s turn on those lights like never before. עם ישראל חי

How to Bust Through Revenue Stagnation with the Power of Creative Thinking — with Ortal Green In this episode, we were joined by Ortal Green, an expert in creative and innovative thinking. With a background in IT startups in Israel, Ortal spent many years working in the high-tech industry where she realised that the ability to succeed in business comes down to our ability to think creatively and innovatively. This set Ortal on a path to eventually become a mindset shifter and founder of Success by Design. Ortal explains how, sadly, our education system does not develop our skills for creative thinking. In a large study, 98% of all children aged 5 were considered ‘creative thinkers’. By the time we become teenagers this drops to less than half, and by the time we become adults, it drops to less than 5%. Ortal Green shares four proven ways to expand your thinking creatively and innovatively, which inevitably leads to increased business revenue. If you’ve hit a revenue ceiling in your business and you’re looking for ways to break through to new levels of growth and success, please tune in! https://buff.ly/4bav5sk

Can Data & AI help improve road safety? The answer is definitely YES! But to make it happen... it is vital to establish a strategic collaboration between government, law enforcement, municipalities, and other stakeholders (like insurance companies for example), with Israeli startups. From enforcement systems to driver behavior monitoring solutions... The ecosystem has a lot to offer. It is up to the decision-makers to make the change. Pushing toward such a collaboration was the goal of today's meetup: Data & AI to reduce traffic accidents - Vision Zero I really enjoyed discussions with visionaries that aim to make an impact - Through groundbreaking technologies, or by making the right decisions. The meetup was hosted by Foretellix and led by EcoMotion Community and DatA-IL Innovation community. The presenters list included representatives from the Israeli Police, Migdal Insurance, and four data & AI technology providers: Foretelix Rider Dome Anyway.co.il Israel Living Lab Looking forward to continuing the discussion in the next big event of Israel's mobility sector - #EcoMotionAssembly2024 #innovation #roadsafety #startups
