Tom Granot started writing code when he was 12. Today he barely writes it at all. He spends his time helping deep tech founders figure out how to sell what their engineers built, and making YouTube videos about it.Tom, Founder of Syntax GTM, started as an engineer, built marketing from scratch at an early-stage deep tech startup, and now advises technical founders on go-to-market. He has strong opinions about Israel's B2B marketing scene, and he shares most of them here. Founders spend months selling a message they never tested. Marketers spread themselves across too many channels. And Israel, for all its engineering talent, still has no reliable way to train people who can sell deep tech, which is why so many startups hire an American marketer as soon as they close an A.Yoel and Tom also get into why Americans write better copy, how Israelis and Americans use AI differently, and Tom's theory that WhatsApp groups help explain why Israel is one of the heaviest per capita users of Claude.---Timestamps00:00 Preview03:20 How Syntax GTM started by accident13:10 Why go-to-market is backwards for deep tech16:20 Tom's problem with Israeli B2B marketing18:20 Why startups import US marketers after a Series A27:40 The best founders choose their VCs33:30 Why Americans write better marketing copy34:30 How Israelis and Americans use AI differently38:00 A Talpiot for go-to-market42:40 Why Israelis use Claude so much---Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!IsraelTech is proud to partner with Deel, the global all-in-one HR and payroll platform for teams in 150+ countries.To support the show, please go check out our partner Deel at: https://www.deel.com/israeltechyt/This episode is also supported by Rhydlwood, an online learning environment where early-stage founders build the business side of their company alongside the product.

Some of the most profitable mobile games in the world were built in Israel, but the industry behind them is rarely mentioned when people talk about Israeli tech.Dan Bouzaglo, Founder & CEO of Snooze, is building his own and getting people talking. He is turning a solo game format into multiplayer, because he thinks that is where mobile gaming still has room to grow.Dan also hosts a Hebrew-language podcast for young founders, and he brought a lot from those conversations. He talks with Yoel about how online casinos and Forex shaped Israel's gaming industry, why Israeli tech found its footing in B2B, and why he pays attention when a founder says "I have to" instead of "I want to."Hosted by Yoel Israel---00:00 - Introduction & Welcome Dan Bouzaglo05:19 - Israeli Directness vs. American Communication07:16 - Dan's Journey: From Adversity to Game Dev08:46 - The Hidden Empire: Israel's Mobile Gaming Industry10:12 - Why Israeli Tech Excels at Monetization13:32 - How AI is Reshaping Game Development16:40 - The Psychology of PvP & Social Mechanics22:58 - Why Israel Focused on B2B Over B2C30:25 - Founder Psychology: What Drives Tech Entrepreneurs?36:52 - Building Snooze & The Future of Israeli Gaming---Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!IsraelTech is proud to partner with Rhydlwood.

AI can identify a patient at risk or even predict a terrorist attack, but a prediction only matters if someone acts on it.Kira Radinsky, Co-Founder and CTO of Diagnostic Robotics, joins Yoel Israel to explain how the company analyzes almost 60 billion historical patient claims to predict deterioration and determine the best proactive clinical next step. She shares how AI voice agents can help health plans reach more patients, coordinate care, and address barriers that human teams may not have the capacity to handle.Kira also traces her path from Kyiv to Israel, starting university at 15, and discovering AI after accidentally killing the cells she was supposed to study. The conversation expands into narrative bias in LLMs, the parts of the AI stack where Israeli engineers are positioned to compete, and her work with Alma Labs to help eighth graders build AI literacy.Hosted by Yoel IsraelFeaturing Kira Radinsky, Co-Founder and CTO of Diagnostic Robotics---00:00 Intro: Who is Kira Radinsky?01:13 Kira’s journey: From Ukraine to Israel to California.04:00 How an early research study led Kira to the world of AI.06:15 Being a 15-year-old at university: Intellectual vs. social challenges.08:32 Scaling a tech business: Why move to the US?10:12 What Diagnostic Robotics actually does.12:17 Example: How AI identifies and helps a depressed patient.14:48 The role of AI in care coordination and management.17:01 Predicting the future: LLMs, swarms of agents, and AI specialization.19:16 Addressing narrative bias and geopolitics in AI training.22:25 Israel's role in the global AI race: Smarter and faster engineering.25:42 AI Education: Using data to predict and prevent security threats.27:58 Training the next generation: 50,000 kids and the future of AI literacy.30:00 Changing the role of teachers: From content delivery to coaching.---Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!IsraelTech is proud to partner with Rhydlwood.

Most venture investors wait for traction. Michael Fertik invests before the company is incorporated, before there is a product, and sometimes before the category has a name.Michael, Managing Director and Founder of Verdict Capital, joins Yoel Israel to explain what “first check” means in practice and why he believes the earliest investor can have a distinct advantage. He shares the story of backing Anysphere before its merger with Cursor, how he evaluates founders with almost no conventional signal, and why most venture firms are reluctant to invest that early.The conversation also turns to Israel. Michael discusses the risks of using Israeli pilot customers as proof of demand, why he encourages Israeli founders to think about their US company structure from day one, and what he has learned from building his first team in Israel through Model Code AI.They also discuss legacy code, AI’s effect on work, purpose, capitalism, the cultural changes taking place in America, and why Michael remains bullish on Israeli founders during wartime.Hosted by Yoel Israel for IsraelTech.---00:00 Opening highlights00:56 Michael Fertik and the Reputation Economy04:15 Why retirement did not last07:00 AI, work, and economic disruption09:10 Culture, education, and capitalism in America24:35 Model Code AI and legacy technical debt36:40 The mistakes Israeli startups keep making45:40 What first-check investing really means50:00 The early Anysphere and Cursor story55:00 Israel, wartime pressure, and founder resilience---Thank you to our incredible partners for making this all possible!IsraelTech is proud to partner with Rhydlwood.
