Summary
Most people think finance is complicated. Eldad Tamir (Founder of Finq) thinks it’s intentionally broken. On this episode of IsraelTech, we sit down for a raw conversation about why the middle class is set up to lose and how AI is changing the future of wealth management. Eldad explains how modern wealth management was built to serve the ultra-rich, why the middle class is pushed into bad financial products, and how human emotions quietly destroy long-term returns. We dive into psychology, Israeli risk-taking, the "B2C gap" in Israeli VC, and why Eldad believes we must remove humans from financial decision-making altogether. Key Topics We Discuss: - The Wealth Gap: Why premium financial services are reserved for the 1%. - Human Error: Why fear and emotion matter more than intelligence in investing. - The AI Revolution: How Finq uses data to remove human bias. - The Israeli Edge: What Israel understands about risk that the rest of the world misses. - Future Tech: Eldad’s take on Neuralink and the evolution of human decision-making. If you’ve ever felt the system wasn’t built for you, this episode explains why. Hosted by Yoel Israel --- Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!
