Right now in Tel Aviv: “Israel has the highest IP and IQ per capita in the world. The most innovative country in the world.” - @BillAckman

My friends, Israel has produced the largest acquisition of a private company in human history. Link in first comment. @AssafRappaport, @amiluttwak, Roy Reznik, Yinon Costica, and the Wizards, we could not be happier for you and prouder of what you have accomplished (so far!!). This is not about the thousands of millionaires you created at and around @wiz_io; it's about the generations of founders who will now be inspired to dream way bigger about changing the world. Like the historic ICQ, and Waze deals of the past, the impact on the Israeli startup ecosystem and economy will be an order of magnitude larger than this mega $32B Wiz exit. This could not have come at a more important time for Israel. Thank you, and huge Mazal Tov! 🎉 Congrats also to fellow @TechAviv member @giliraanan for betting on this outlier team first and producing what will likely be the greatest returning VC fund of all time, @Cyberstarts1 Fund I. 👏🏼

Oracle CEO on why multinationals and investors are increasingly coming to Israel since Oct 7th: “No one adjusts to new challenges, like the Israelis. There is no one, no tech community in the world more adaptable, and more incredible than this one. No one wants to miss a winner and Israel is a winner.

Something we’ve known for a while but exciting to see the data shared so widely. The secrets out. Expect more international VCs to open shop in Tel Aviv. #scaleupnation

Which would you prefer?

With no local market, #Israeli tech startups often relocate their HQ to the US and are considered US companies. 9% of the world’s current #unicorns were founded by Israelis. That’s 90 companies valued at over a quarter trillion dollars. TechAviv.com/unicorns #scaleupnation 💪🏻

For the first time and hopefully not the last, Israel’s top tech CEO and VC are women, according to the tech community at @geektimecoil: geektime.co.il/10th-geekawar…. Congrats to my friends and fellow @TechAviv members @EynatGuez and Sivan Dahan! #NewDay

When we taped this podcast a month ago there were 45 Israeli-founded unicorns. Today there are 50. Full list here: TechAviv.com/unicorns. #ScaleUpNation
