as an expert on social media business apps I enjoyed reading this

Mr. Ajoy Mallik, Global Head of Co-Innovation, VC and Emerging Technologies, Tata

Consultancy Services Innovation, will be visiting Israel March 8-10, 2010. Mr. Malik is

interested in meeting with Israeli companies with ICT solutions that address the following

"themes":Five of these themes address key expectations from IT that: Increase

Operational Efficiency and Productivity Promote Business Agility Simplify and Transform

Manage Enterprise Risk and Compliance Enable Understanding of Markets and Customers

The other five themes of research outcomes address business, organizational and social

goals, in order to: Enrich User Experience Optimize Enterprise Knowledge Foster

Information Ubiquity Enhance Healthcare Conserve the Environment If you are interested in

meeting with Mr. Ajoy Malik on March 8-9 at the Israel Export & International Cooperation

Institute (IEICI)



It is all over the web: the old economy is SHATTERED and Gone FOREVER. Its never

coming back as it was, and in its place a generally tougher, more demanding allways on

marketplace is emerging. Consumers have the POWER, ordinary products and services

aren't tolerated, money is spent with caution, sellers are scrutinized, and business success

is earned not given. This is not the economy you once knew. We live in the Facebook and

Twitter era, your mobile phone is your new best friend, the next 5 years will bedramaticly exploding with new tecnologies, many of them originated or developed in Israel,

I"m happy to say that as someone who is both a financial bridge to Israeli entrepreneurship

facing the world and a social media expert I"m lucky enough to experience these changes

' , :-) Media: Angel investing in hard times Posted by Levi Shapiro |

In the new book Start Up Nation- The Story of Israel's Economic Miracle, Dan Senor and

Saul Singer cite the importance of entrepreneurs, and their investors, in building a robust

Israeli high-tech industry. The sector represents 16% of GDP and 25% of exports

(http://htxt.it/vSC4 That model is now under siege, however, as venture capital firms

(VCs) in Israel are bleeding money. According to PWC's "Money Tree" report, $10 billion inventure capital was raised this decade but less than $1 billion earned back through IPOs

and acquisitions. With returns like that, VC's are becoming more conservative toward

riskier, seed-stage companies. According to the Israel Venture Center, venture investment

tanked by 50% compared to the first three quarters of last year. IVC Chairman Zeev

Holtzman said in an October 20 press release: The future is expected to be even worse.

There is a major shortage of capital for new investments by Israeli VCs, and as foreign

VC funds fail to find Israeli co-investors, they will further reduce their exposure to

Israel... The entire high-tech industry is at risk." In this environment, start-ups are relying

even more on seed funds and proven Angel investors. However, sometimes even Angels hitturbulence. "There have been changes in the last 12 months" to Angel investing, says

Carmel Vernia, CEO and Founder of Angel group Startup Factory. "We are seeing

experienced entrepreneurs come to us who in normal times would have raised $3-5 million

from a VC." Startup Factory began investing in 2007 and includes sixty prominent high-

tech executives like Dr. Orna Berry (former Chief Scientist of Israel), Shai Agassi (CEO

of www.betterplace.com, the man behind the electric car grid) and Dov Moran (CEO of


9/14

www.modu.com and inventor of the flash drive). For each investment, one of the members

takes an active management role as chairman. Although investment basics remain constant,

the economic environment has necessitated change. "Deals are smaller," says Vernia.

Typical deal sizes have shrunk from $1 million to around $600,000. "In the past, we would

have invested $350,000 of our own money and then looked for outside investors. Now we

will not put our money in until we are sure the company can raise the balance... It takes

longer." Startup Factory has also begun investing in follow-on investment rounds for their

companies. "Originally, we planned to invest only in seed rounds with no follow-up

whatsoever. This year we changed our charter and can now provide bridge loans until the

next round." One Angel who has not scaled back his activities is legendary investor and

prankster Yossi Vardi. A prolific seed-stage Angel investor since 1996, Yossi's successes

include ICQ (sold to AOL), Answers.com (went public) and Tucows (went public). "I made

seven investments in the last year," he says, all in verticals with low capital requirements.

Yossi brings more than just money to the table. He serves as a connector between small -

scale Israeli start-ups and international companies with large resources. He does this

through a variety of industry events in Israel and abroad. One is an annual gathering for

technical and creative talent on the shores of the Galilee called Kinnernet. In addition,

together with Burda Media in Germany he co-chairs the annual DLD (Digital, Lifestyle,

Design) conference in Munich. Vardi is also co-chair, with WPP Chairman Sir Martin

Sorrell, of the annual Stream Unconference in Greece. Vardi co-hosts ICUC - Internet

Cowboys UnConference in Jackson Hole, Wyoming. These events stimulate business

partnerships and provide an environment where small companies can meet established

partners with more resources. "My companies are like tomato seeds," he says - there's a

lot inside but they won't grow into a plant on their own. Dr. Vardi is not a typical Angel.

There are roughly 6,000 people in Israeli with liquid assets in excess of $1 million and

roughly 10% of these dabble in Angel investing. Since 2005, Sharon Weshler, founder of

GlobalMarketeam, has been matching the more sophisticated Angels with technology start-

ups seeking money. "We now have a network of over 280 such individuals whom I met

personally, in most cases," he says. Recently, Sharon has been particularly active in the

clean-tech sector. Of course, recession equals opportunity for some start-ups. Donanza

is a global, online aggregator of free-lance and project work postings. They partner

customers with the online version of the local print newspaper, which can then offer a

more extensive online listing and share a portion of the ancillary classified revenue. CEO

Liran Kotzer says the company uses their own service. "We are three guys in Israel and

everyone else - the programmers, graphic designers, engineers - are free-lancers that

we located through the Donanza service and contracted on a project basis, he says.

Yossi Vardi invested in the seed round and another prominent Angel group recently signed

a term sheet. "We have been fortunate with our timing," says Kotzer. "Free-lancers need


10/14

the service and online publishers are motivated to find new revenue sources." Recessions

also bring hard choices. In some cases, this means restructuring senior management and

business models at portfolio companies. For example, After Dox partners are finding

themselves in more hands-on roles than originally envisioned. Recently, a partner from

After Dox (former Head of the Israeli branch of Computer Associates, Arie Offner),

became the Active CEO at one of their portfolio companies. "We needed to take the

company in a different direction," he says. After Dox is an Angel investment group

composed of (mostly) former senior executives from Amdocs. These are seasoned

veterans who view a down market as an opportunity. Last month, After Dox invited me to

attend their investment meeting, managed by Moshe Koslovski (former Division president at

Amdocs) and interview several partners. Avigdor Yeger (former VP at Amdocs) says, "Our

process is not to find the next Google. We want companies that have a good shot to be a

success. Old-timers like us have the skills and knowledge for managing this process." Adds

Irit Israeli-Kahana (former VP at Amdocs): "This economy helps people like us. Our money

and experience has become more valuable compared to two years ago. It allows us to get

better value." Artzi Benkuzari (former VP at Amdocs), also prefers to focus on the

basics. "It's the simple stuff that matters, like expenses vs. income. If we can do that,

then I am not pessimistic." For each investment, a director is appointed from within the

group of forty-six partners to assist the management team. The accumulated wisdom of

After Dox members enables the companies to enjoy a wealth of experience in management,

marketing and finance - all extremely important in these rough days. Dovi Levanon, who

most recently served as General Manager for the EMEA (Europe, Middle East, Africa)

business of ECI Telecom, holds the role of chairman for portfolio company Todacell. "I

remember thinking two years ago that we could really help this company with sales and

marketing, opening doors, preparing the company for high valuation investment. Now sales

in the US and EU are doubling month over month and we have customers like Google and

Yahoo," he says. Nissim Ben Oz (former VP at Amdocs) is practical about the role of the

Angel. "Our main concern is raising enough money to support a company. This is what

stands between us and success. The first two years are critical." He agrees with Gady

Munz , former Managing Director of Manpower, Inc: "The government could drive money to

this channel by providing tax breaks. That would put our pension money into something that

actually helps the whole country." Even this may not be adequate. After Dox reviews 100

business plans for every single investment. Israeli start-ups who are too early for VC's

and have not had success with Angel groups could also try these grant sources: 1) Israel

Internet Society Research Grants ( http://htxt.it/2Ikw 2) US Israel Binational Industries R&D

Foundation (BIRD) ( http://htxt.it/SuXz 3) US-Israel Binational Science Foundation (BSF)

(http://htxt.it/iUla 4) Intel Annual Research Grants Progrma ( http://htxt.it/Rr6k 5) Technion

never before. That doesn't mean it is easy for them either. The famous Tom Waits song

Mr Siegel could have been written about the current economic conditions for Angel

investing: "How do the Angels get to sleep when the devil leaves the porch li ght on?"
