QUOTES

Nir: "Reputation is something subjective because it's how people perceive that brand, that entity, or that incident that happened to that entity regardless of the facts sometimes."

Nir: "I think there is some sort of, not a decrease, but better understanding of specific entrepreneurs about hey, if we have a great idea and maybe we can combine it with an existing idea, or maybe we can just wait a bit of a time and only then go with a go-to-market strategy."
