What Can We Learn from Israeli Start Up Experience? II
summary
Describes an early machine that produces what others cannot and the failed sale of its IP, recounts the first use of video disc training years before edtech scaled, and argues timing matters—being too early burns cash while software markets are winner-take-all, leaving no clear number two. Explains Israeli patterns with family birth order and pushing mothers, and a grandfather who bought coins, smelted silver and exited into real estate as a practical origin-story for risk and hustle.
