> In my experience, one should stay away from Israeli tech startups. They're often very aggressive and fly-by-night operations. The culture clash between a north american firm is hard to deal with.
Is this really the case?
- cema 15y agoGenerally, no. But when one claims personal experience, how can a stranger judge?
- pavel_lishin 15y agoBy asking for more detail.
- bradleyland 15y agoFight generalization with generalization! When one encounters, "one should stay away from <race or ethnic group>", always proceed with caution.
- Dylan16807 15y agoWhile that is a reasonable policy, the statement in question is one of regional culture. Compare "silicon valley startups".
- marcf 15y agoSome are, most aren't. There are scammers and hucksters everywhere. It is always easier to scam people when they don't really know you, a fact that can benefit foreign start-ups in the US market. That said, regarding Israeli companies, I personally object to Israeli companies that operate from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied Palestinian territories, such as SodaStream and Ahava Cosmetics. SodaStream is particularly bad in that it produces its goods using underpaid Palestinian labor but market's its products as made in Israel.
