In this conversation, Guy Navon, CEO of Discount-Tech, shares a detailed view of how the ecosystem is changing, from investment trends to the impact of AI on startups. After years of growth driven by SaaS and cybersecurity, the focus is shifting toward deep tech, climate tech, food tech, and agritech. At the same time, more foreign investors are entering Israel, bringing larger rounds and new opportunities. But there are also challenges. More startups are incorporating in the US, and the economics of building a company have changed. Speed alone is no longer enough. Founders now need to build sustainable business models from day one. Guy also explains how banking, venture debt, and access to global investors play a role in helping startups grow and scale.
