Debugging Human Communication

What startup founders get wrong in early-stage communication – with Yaakov Diminsky


Listen Later

If you’ve ever pitched your startup and felt the room just… didn’t get it - this episode is for you.

Because sometimes, the biggest risk to your startup isn’t the tech - it’s how you talk about it.

In this episode, Dr. Shani Horowitz-Rozen sits down with Yaakov Diminsky, CEO of Road2, an innovation hub helping early-stage startups across Israel’s north. With deep experience mentoring founders in deep-tech and AI, Yaakov brings sharp, real-world insights into the role of communication in startup success — and failure.

You’ll hear:

  • Why “no” is a gift — if you know how to listen

  • How to avoid building something no one wants

  • What honest mentorship really sounds like

  • And why early-stage founders should focus less on pitch decks and more on clarity
  • Yaakov has worked with more startups than most people pitch to.

    His advice is direct, honest, and grounded in real experience.

    🎧 Listen now — because in early-stage startups, communication is execution.
