I like it when a plan comes together🙂
Yesterday’s roadshow of Israel’s leading companies and accelerators hosting Doina Nistor Chief of Party, Future Technologies Activity and Sergiu Rabii Future Technologies Sector Director from Moldova, was productive and inspiring for all.
I can share some of the feedback and impression of my guests, first is that they are definitely returning to visit Israel again🙂
✨We visited monday.com, meeting with Darya Wertheim Head of Startup for Startup to learn about the essence of community building, as well as a successful Podcast amongst other topics. We met with IHLS accelerator and Innofense program, led by Guy Keren, Meital Keren and yours truly, to get a closer feel of the successful implementation of top down acceleration planning, starting with finding the customers and their needs and later onboarding relevant startups.
We are about to launch Innofense 4th cohort supported by the Ministry of Defense, MAF’AT (Administration for the Development of Weapons and Technological Infrastructure) and other Israel Defense Force Arms. After a delicious street food lunch, we headed to Microsoft for Startups (Reactor) program to meet with Nitzan Gal and discuss how a huge tech company such as Microsoft, handles growing and mentoring startups, as well as accommodating worldwide cooperation with an endless number of accelerators and incubators. We concluded with a discussion pointing to the needs, challenges and opportunities Moldova🇲🇩 is looking to tackle and accelerate on!

CanAx Demoday 2023
⭐️CanAx 2nd cohort Demo Day was a success. 14 excited startuppers presented their innovations varying from Medical Cannabis, Drones, Gaming, AgroTech, e-Commerce to Mental health and Non-Lethal weapon. Our esteem investors shared their supportive feedbacks and invited some of the startups for further discussions.
As always, success is achieved in hard work, dedication, guidance and determination of all involved, with a clear target and realization regarding the roadmap ahead.
👏🏻Thank you Israel Birenbaum CanNegev Incubator CEO, as well as Ziv Bet-Or, Michali Beeri for your trust and support, allowing me to conduct the 2nd cohort of CanAx Accelerator based on my professional skills and experience.

CanAxAccelerator 2nd cohort at CanNegev
👏🏻 Thank you Esti Fray for a great lecture filled with valuable tips and insights regarding TikTok. It’s the 1st time this topic is presented in my accelerators and its about time! Startups should explore more about it.
Thanks also to Michal Merten for an insightful lecture regarding LinkedIn, which is undoubtfully an important platform for all businesses and definitely for startuppers.
The startuppers of CanAx Accelerator 2nd cohort at CanNegev, learned a lot from both of you and would use your tips to better expose their startups.
💢 Takeaways:
• Your profile is your face, it needs planning and maintenance
• Just get started, make content and start posting!
• Be ready to get some nasty comments, you don’t need to address everything people write?
• Consistency is imperative, continue posting on your page and your audience will build over time?
• LinkedIn is your priority when venturing into the business arena, people usually will search your presence there
• Use professional assistance to get started, although with some time and efforts you will be able to do it yourselves
⚠️ CanAx 2nd cohort Demo Day will take place on Wednesday, January 25th 16:00 at Cannegev Incubator in Yerucham, hosting investors, VCs and potential early adaptors, we’re gearing up for a great show!
We appreciate your support and look forward to meet you again.
MindCET- EdTech Innovation Week 2022
💥EdTech space is sizzling and booming worldwide. Educators, parents, and students have long complained about the one-size-fits-all model of schooling.
Edtech provides specially tailored access, on demand, to content at a pace students are comfortable with, immersing better navigation of resources, multimedia graphics and interactive elements such as Metaverse, allowing a more engaging educational experience. VC investment in edtech startups reached $20B worldwide in 2021, the year responsible for the birth of a 1/3rd of all Edtech Unicorns.🦄
These fact served as basis of Edtech week organized by MindCET, hosting international Edtech experts and audience as well as judging at GESAwards Israel Semifinals at Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.
✨During the week I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Lina Antanavičienė Ambassador of LT to Isr and Mr. Arunas Karlonas, Commercial attache, hosting LT EdTech delegation joined by Indrė Šuolienė, Šarūnas Dignaitis- CEO at EdTech Lithuania, Andželika Rusteikienė- CEO at Lietuvos Junior Achievement, Aiste Krataviciute-Alisauskiene, as well as Jurgita Jaruševičienė CEO at Mokosi, one of Lithuania prominent EdTech startup!

I hope this visit and discussions will mature into a viable collaboration for the greater good of #Edtech startups of both countries. 👏🏻Special thanks to MindCET management team Avi warshavsky, Lea Cecilia Waismann, Tal Redler and Tamar Sharon, for our long lasting partnership.

Podcast with Gilad Bregman
חשוב שסטרטאפיסטים יתנסו וייקחו חלק באקסלרטור במטרה לקבל הנחייה מקצועית, מיקוד, כלים, קשרים וכישורים להמשך דרכם. עם זאת, בחירת אקסלרטור מתאים היא מעט מורכבת יותר ממה שנוטים לחשוב, במיוחד בישראל בה קיים שפע חסר תקדים של מעל 200 אקסלרטורים.
אז איך מוצאים את המתאים ומה לצפות לקבל ממנו? מה מצופה מכם כמשתתפים ומה אתם יכולים לצפות ממנהל האקסלרטור? מה חשוב לקחת בחשבון בבחירה, האם את המותג, תכני התוכנית, הנטווקינג המובטח, האם תשיגו השקעה באירוע הדמו דיי? רוצים תשובות לשאלות😊 הקשיבו לפודקאסט שערכתי עם גלעד ברגמן המקסים, וקבלו תשובה לשאלות אלה ועוד.
