Hey, this one's from me, your host, Dror. I usually focus on interviewing other people, but in this episode, I wanted to share lessons from my business experiences. I've so far founded 2 companies - one sold and one still active. I run my business 99% remotely and work an average of 8 hours a month on it. Here's the story and tips from my experience building MAGNIV out of an idea and £400 in a spare bedroom. Part one.

Lior Avisar founded Door2Dor, the social initiative that swept across Israel during Corona and set an example to the world, using volunteer programmers to mobilise thousands of volunteers to help their communities. Now, she runs TYM, coaching Founders to shape their public persona.

Amit Yampolsky joined Papaya Global as its first sales hire, building the revenue organisation to $100m in annual returning revenue and a unicorn valuation. He then became the company's Chief of Staff, a position he held until leaving the company in 2023.

Ariel Menche is the Founder and CEO of Raftel Strategy, a financial consulting advisory firm, having previously worked in the same field in KPMG and WWE.

In this episode of Acumen, Dror Wayne discusses all this and more with Itai Azogui, Founder and CEO of SavannahTech, who built his company to 70 employees in 18 months, with no funding.

Jonathan Harel, co-Founder of Fine, the home of the AI virtual developer, joins Dror Wayne in the Acumen studio to discuss all things leadership, business and marketing.

In this episode of Acumen, Dror Wayne is joined by Benjamin Leslie, SDR at Ink Global, to discuss all things to do with sales from a frontline perspective.

Dror says:  "I really enjoyed recording this episode of the show, not only because Benjamin is a good friend and this was a great opportunity to catch up, but because we addressed topics that not only salespeople but all business leaders and founders will be able to relate to, such as staying motivated during down periods in sales and the importance of research in cold outreach."
