Scouting Start Ups in Israel - Part 1
summary
Corporate scouting focuses on opening real assets not just mentorship: eBay offers access to global transaction data for Big Data experiments, Orange uses corporate customers and an Orange Publicis Ventures investment in Israel, Telefónica runs Wayra in 12 countries but not in Israel, and Yahoo plans an Israel innovation hub with a Tel Aviv R&D team of about 70 engineers. Successful programs deliver customers, data or follow‑on funding, accelerate execution an order of magnitude, and actually take promising startups into pilots or acquisitions.
