What is Israel doing to produce the most startups per capita, VC dollars spent per capita, and unicorns per capita?

Yaron Samid is the Founder of TechAviv, a global Israeli startup founders club that's 3,000 members strong.

He is also the Managing Partner of TechAviv Founder Partners, a pre-seed venture fund backed and powered by some of the world’s most successful company builders.

Yaron was born in Israel, grew up and began his career in the US, and is now back in Israel where innovation and venture capital is booming.

We discuss what Israel has done and is doing to support its startup community, why community is crucial for innovation, and what other countries and communities can do to mimic Israel’s innovation success.
