I don't have any data to back it up but majority of Israeli startups have one goal: to be acquired (and are extremely good at marketing them to acquiring companies and investors). So continue your product and in a couple of years time, they would have been acquired and the product put on back burner by the acquiring company.
- gyaniv 8y ago> I don't have any data to back it up but majority of Israeli startups have one goal: to be acquired... As someone that worked for one, and knows enough people that work in other Israeli startups, I can tell you it isn't true. True, some startups get acquired, but no more then any other place (the only difference I see is that in some tech areas Israeli talent is considered very good, so when looking for an acquisition, big corps are probably more likely to go for the Israeli options)
- xenospn 8y agoAs someone who worked for one and is originally from Israel, I can tell you it is, absolutely, 100% true. No one in Israel is interested in managing or building a large company and they all want to exit as soon as possible.
- mola 8y agoAlso Israeli, can also back this up. There are a handful of Israeli startups trying to build a large companies. There are exceptions, and large one at those. But it's the common mentality.
