what is the biggest trend

in Tel Aviv?

So,

Money in, money out - the ratio

Capital Received (M&As and IPSs Capital Raised by Israeli High-Tech companies

Building Big Companies!(Meaning Hugh valuations)

Biggest deal this year

Google buys WAZE:

1 Billion $

The next big companies exits

Israeli companies with revenue over 50M$ and

valuation over 500M$

What’s the

secret sauce?

No local Market(8M people)

Commercial relations with our neighbors: 0

We build international companies

From Day1*

*Save From China Israel is #2 country in NASDAQ

What’s the

secret sauce?

R&D centers all every important US company Government money supports R&D Biggest Patents per capita Biggest VC money per capita Failure - isn’t failing Presence of almost every important US VC Army as incubator of management and

technology

What’s the

secret sauce?

With new records of valuations in exits, the investors become more and more

patience to build big companies

The next Israelis Exits

Will EXPLODE

(Which is usually something risky in Tel Aviv..)

Back to sport And

Israeli-Germany potential(And the synergy of Baseball and Gymnastic)

Baseball Ted Williams, whose lifetime batting average

was 0.344.

This means he struck out or didn’t get a hit six out of 10 times.

He’s in the Hall of Fame as the greatest hitter in the history of baseball.
