  • A Meeting With Dov Moran: The Founding Father of Israeli Tech
    May 31 2021

    These days we say 'entrepreneur'.


    Back in the old days, it was still called being an inventor.


    There was no playbook.


    No ecosystem.


    No one to ask for advice.


    And it's under these circumstances that he built his empire.


    From the invention of the USB Flashdrive and a $1.6B exit, to his head-to-head fight with Apple and a $120M defeat that followed, all the way to the present day, where he leads Grove Ventures.


    We finish this season with the person whose work fed an entire generation of entrepreneurs and whose vision will feed the future ones.


    Meet Dov Moran.

  • A Meeting With Roy Kimchi: A A New Model For VC: For Students, By Students
    May 25 2021

    Some entrepreneurs start businesses.


    Others found startups.


    And while few will start their journey in a Venture Capital fund, this week's guest started his career by... building one.


    Sounds more like a dream than a nightmare?


    Well... yes and no..


    Roy Kimchi founded Cactus Capital while still a student.


    This meant going through an expedited - and sometimes painful - learning curve.


    What he gained in speed, he paid for with sweat.


    In this episode, he shares what it was like.
