Geography of co.ils - discussion

If I was not an Israeli and I had to guess I would say the hi-tech industry is concentrated between Tel-Aviv and Hertzeliah, some peripheral like Netanya perhas, but that's it. I am sure it isn't s...

The Best Networking Startup Competition

Am I in the right neighborhood, or what? I know all startups who won the TWS2008 Promising Israeli Startups Competition, held yesterday by “the.co.ils“.   I feel very “in”, to find out I am networked with the selected. All 10 finalists have been networking intensively and efficiently. You’ve seen the people or the company at every [...]

The lone consultant

Being a consultant can sometimes be really, really lonely. And this is true even on the busiest days. As I write this I am sitting in my office, at home. A small fridge is tempting me, but I can stay glued to my chair for hours, unless I have meetings outside. I got back to work [...]

Is entrepreneurship hereditary?

A tribute to my grandmother, who past away last night, 3 months away from her 101 birthday. My grandmother, Sara Sorkin was a born entrepreneur and a vibrant doer. Startupseeds would have loved to recruit ladies like her. But they came nearly 100 years too late. I am not sure I know all her stories or that [...]

Can the network do it? Peace on Earth?

I recently joined a social network called mepeace.org. This network, built on my favorite NING platform, suggests a platform for peace making in the Middle East. Let’s start by communicating, says Eyal Raviv, a relatively new immigrant from New-York and a former Yeshiva student who established this network about a year ago. The network now [...]

Walk backwards into the future

“We look at the present through a rear view mirror; we walk backwards into the future” is one of my favorite Marshall McLuhan quotes. The man who said “The medium is the message” and “The user is the content” tens of years before the web 2.0 made its first steps has a unique perspective on [...]

Quoting an entrepreneur…

Internet entrepreneurship is a tricky thing. You really can’s say what will work and why. All this talk about a bubble really isn’t relevant to the actual businesses. Some may flourish in spite of a bubble, and others may hang their failure on a so called bubble. Bubble or no bubble, here is an inspiring bubble: [...]

Getting younger by the minute

A funny realization came to me last week. I am getting younger by the minute. Professionally. When I started my career, my working life, I was a 16 year old journalist among veterans 20-30 years older than myself. Had to prove I was worth something, had to work hard and grow fast. When I left my journalistic [...]

Never take a candy from a stranger!

Isn’t this the first lesson a parent gives his kids? I was reminded of it earlier, as I watched the Frontline show “Growing Up Online“, thanks to a post by Steve Hagardon. If someone had asked me, I’d have to admit that I more easily identify with teens on the story than with the parents we’ve [...]

Kids 4 Kids Networking Homework is off the ground

I am exploring a vision of kids helping kids complete their homework assignments. A believer in social learning, I think a community of kids helping each other can be the best enhancement for toady’s learning process. Still doing my very early stages on the way to achieving this dream I have created a network at: http://kids4kids.ning.com/. Of [...]

The “Israel is 60″ Brand

Israel marked its 60th independence day yesterday. The celebration actually began on May 7th, at 19:45, when the Memorial Day ended. Israel has marked 60 years of existence accenting its younger generation, with the slogan “today and tomorrow”. Some cynics were quick enough to produce the poster where the “60″ is shown like a grade on [...]

The Startup Experts Pattern

Following a periodical analysis of my on-going consulting business I have decided, a couple of days ago, to create a survey. The purpose of this survey, like the purpose of most surveys, is to learn the habits, way of thinking and behavior of my target audiences. In this case, I am trying to understand the pattern of using experts by hi-tech entrepreneurs. If you are one and would like to contribute to my understanding of this… Continue

Brainstorming with my daughter

I love brainstorming. This is really one of the best ways to achieve results. I encourage brainstorming in all levels of the organization, for many types of questions or problems. Being a self employed independent consultant I don’t have co-workers to brainstorm with, but I often brainstorm with my clients or with other, third parties, involved in the service rendered. When it comes to my startup-idea, I didn’t really know who I can brainstorm with.... Read more here: http://or-tal.com/?p=21

The Egg.

I am looking for a partner, or two partners, to join my new startup..... ....although I have been so many times in and with startup companies, it’s hard to understand that jump from the paper to real life..... ...it suddenly occurred to me, married for 20 years, that finding a partner is a marriage situation....

The chicken or the egg, marketing or the product?

Last week I participated in the Tel-Aviv-Yafo Entrepreneurs Meetup I organized. The meeting presented a panel of three, Danny Arazi, Ouriel Ohayon, Yaniv Golan and was moderated by Avichai Levy (about the participants). The debate was around the question “How early should a company begin to establish its brand and marketing strategy?” ..... But do all entrepreneurs have the marketing knowledge and qualities? People may be brilliant developers, but when it comes to marketing, a whole new set o… Continue
