What's Your Number?

Does the Startup-Nation Brand Need… A Rebrand? - with Dan Senor


Listen Later

A note from Yael and Yonatan: Based on listener feedback, we're moving from a weekly news roundup to monthly, in-depth conversations with the business leaders, investors, policymakers, and entrepreneurs shaping Israel's economic future.

For our first episode in the new format, Yonatan Adiri and Yael Wissner Levy are joined by Dan Senor, host of Call Me Back and co-author of Start-Up Nation which revolutionized the world’s respect for Israel. Nearly two decades after the book's publication, Israel's tech sector is stronger than ever, yet the country's global brand faces unprecedented challenges. What does this mean for Israel’s reputation, innovation and the world’s reliance on it? 

Purchase Dan’s books, Start-up Nation and The Genius of Israel.

In this episode:

- How Start-Up Nation changed Israel's image

- Israel's brand crisis after October 7
- Why global investors keep doubling down on Israel
- Does Israel need a new audience?
- The rise of defense tech
- AI, brain drain, and Israel's next challenge
- Does the “start-up nation” reputation still apply?
- How would Dan characterize Israel’s brand now?
