Smotrich calls on the Prime Minister to announce that unilateral measures will lead to the cancellation of the Oslo Accords and the dissolution of the PA/Knesset Channel
Interviews with big investors always end with the same sentence - we invest in entrepreneurs and not in an idea.
Although the cliché is already worn out, it is evident that it is still a key to reaching the hands of the centenarians into their pockets.
The reasons for this are diverse, from the lack of credibility that accompanies an idea that still needs to be proven feasible, to the complexity of the markets, whose needs are changing more rapidly today.
All of these require entrepreneurs who, among other things, have a dynamic and energetic nature along with flexible thinking.
In the fields of innovation, this is even more evident due to the nature of the industry, which from the outset is built to "sell a dream", after having drained billions of dollars of investments invested in start-up companies and more mature companies during the Corona period (until the end of 2021).
One of the phenomena is the strengthening of the activity of the multidisciplinary funds, in whose scales the weight of the entrepreneur is higher than the weight of the idea, and this at the expense of the activity of the specialized funds, most of which are impatiently waiting for the drop in interest rates that will encourage a return of investments in the start-up companies in their field.

The fund's forecast for 2024:
"We estimate that we will see new companies capable of offering full automation or significant optimization in areas where this was previously impossible, such as infrastructure development, security and safety, finance, and more.
" The ground for developments is the focus of the various organizations on growth at any cost, which brought Also waste and unnecessary costs, and led those organizations to locate optimization solutions such as cloud costs, faster collection, prevention of mistakes and incorrect calculations of inventories, etc.
"At the same time, we estimate that technological innovation will develop far beyond the world of corporate software (enterprise software) and continue to believe in digital transformation in more traditional markets such as the health systems, logistics, and production, in which, in our estimation, very active new companies will arise."
