Why are global tech executives continuing to pour capital into Israel, even in times of crisis?
Former Meetup and Investopedia CEO
@Davidmeirsiegel joins Yoel Israel for a wide-ranging conversation about Israeli tech, aliyah, resilience, and why global executives continue investing in Israel even during wartime.
David shares the story behind Israel Tech Mission, an initiative bringing global tech and business leaders to Israel to experience the ecosystem firsthand. Since October 7, hundreds of executives, investors, and founders have joined the missions, leading to investments, partnerships, mentorships, and deeper ties to Israel’s startup ecosystem.
The conversation also explores what international leaders misunderstand about Israeli founders, why health tech may be Israel’s next major sector, and how Israeli culture shapes entrepreneurship differently from Silicon Valley.
Featuring David Siegel, former CEO of Meetup and Investopedia, founder of Israel Tech Mission, and professor at Tel Aviv University.
