Inside Cyfluencer: Why Trust, Not Reach, Drives Cybersecurity ft. Yael Moav
Episode 85
Wednesday, April 29, 2026 • Duration 43:58
What does influencer marketing actually look like in cybersecurity?
In this conversation, Yael Moav, Executive Director of Cyfluencer, shares how B2B influencer marketing works when the audience is made up of decision-makers, not consumers.
From the early days of building Cyfluencer to working with global cybersecurity companies, Yael explains why trust matters more than reach, how Israeli and American companies approach marketing differently, and what it takes to build influence in a highly technical space.
The discussion also covers how influencers shape brand perception, why authenticity still matters, and how this model fits into the broader Israeli tech ecosystem.

A BTS Look at the Making of IsraelTech ft. Revital Moses
Episode 84
Monday, April 27, 2026 • Duration 43:29
India and Israel have more overlap in tech than most people in either country realize. Shared emphasis on engineering talent, a culture of building under constraints, and a growing number of founders, investors, and operators moving between both ecosystems.
Revital Moses, producer at IsraelTech, sits at that intersection. She moved from India to Israel at 25, built a content practice from scratch, and now produces the coverage that IsraelTech puts out on founders and investors. Her own channel, Moses in Israel, recently crossed 100K subscribers!
In this conversation, she talks about what that connection actually looks like on the ground, and what the Israeli tech ecosystem is starting to understand about India as more than just a market.

The Real Story Behind Israel’s $110B Tech Activity ft. Yariv Lotan and Hila Shitrit Nissim of SNC
Episode 83
Thursday, April 16, 2026 • Duration 43:47
Israel’s tech ecosystem is going through a shift.
Early stage startups are finding it harder to raise. Investors are focusing on stronger companies with real traction. Sectors outside AI and cyber are feeling that pressure more than others.
At the same time, global demand for Israeli technology remains strong. Companies from around the world are still coming to Israel to find talent, partnerships, and new solutions.
In this conversation, Yariv Lotan and Hila Shitrit Nissim from @startupnationcentral share what they are seeing across the ecosystem.
From funding dynamics to sector trends, to how global perception and local resilience are shaping what comes next, this is a closer look at where Israeli tech stands today and where it is heading.

What Tel Aviv Conferences Get Wrong ft. Idan Nimni of Tech1
Episode 82
Tuesday, March 31, 2026 • Duration 33:20
There’s a reason people kept talking about Tech1 after it ended.
Idan Nimni, CEO of Tech1, didn’t try to reinvent conferences. He focused on something more basic, how people actually spend time together.
Most events in Israel happen in Tel Aviv. People come in for a session, take a few meetings, then head back to work or home. The density is high, but the time is limited.
Tech1 changed that by moving everything to Eilat and stretching it across three days.
Same founders, same investors, same operators. Just more time in the same place.
That creates a different kind of interaction. Conversations don’t end when the panel does. People run into each other again. Meetings turn into follow ups, then into something more concrete.
It’s a small structural change, but it has a real effect on how relationships form inside the ecosystem.
And it reflects something broader about Israeli tech right now. There’s no shortage of talent or activity. The challenge is creating the conditions where the right people actually connect in a meaningful way.

The Shift from SaaS to Deep Tech in Israel Explained ft. Guy Navon of Discount Tech
Episode 81
Wednesday, March 25, 2026 • Duration 39:57
The Israeli tech ecosystem is evolving.
In this conversation, Guy Navon, CEO of Discount-Tech, shares a detailed view of how the ecosystem is changing, from investment trends to the impact of AI on startups.
After years of growth driven by SaaS and cybersecurity, the focus is shifting toward deep tech, climate tech, food tech, and agritech. At the same time, more foreign investors are entering Israel, bringing larger rounds and new opportunities.
But there are also challenges. More startups are incorporating in the US, and the economics of building a company have changed. Speed alone is no longer enough. Founders now need to build sustainable business models from day one.
Guy also explains how banking, venture debt, and access to global investors play a role in helping startups grow and scale.

From No Network to VC Partner: How Ariel Sterman of Bessemer Venture Partners Thinks About Startups
Episode 80
Wednesday, March 18, 2026 • Duration 50:34
Most people think venture capital is about spotting big ideas.
It’s not.
In this conversation with Ariel Sterman, Partner at Bessemer Venture Partners , the focus shifts to something much more practical. How founders actually think, how quickly they can adapt when things don’t work, and why the ability to iterate matters more than having a perfect vision from day one.
We also get into a bigger question: Is Israel actually behind in AI, or is it just playing a different role in the ecosystem?
From mentorship and early-stage decision making to vertical AI and where things are heading next, this is a grounded look at how top investors evaluate companies before anyone else is paying attention.

How Nissim Black Learned Tech Before Becoming a Global Artist
Episode 79
Wednesday, March 11, 2026 • Duration 01:09:02
What happens when a global recording artist is also a self taught technologist?
In this episode of IsraelTech, Yoel Israel sits down with global artist Nissim Black to explore the intersection of music, technology, AI, media, and spirituality.
Before becoming an internationally known artist, Nissim grew up watching computers being built in his home and experimenting with music production equipment as a kid. That early exposure shaped the way he approaches creativity and technology today.
They discuss how podcasting and music production rely on many of the same tools, how AI is already transforming the music industry, and why independent creators now have more power than traditional media.
The conversation also dives into deeper questions about morality, media narratives, and why technology itself is not the real risk. The real question is how people choose to use it.
This episode covers everything from AI generated music to the future of media platforms and why storytelling still matters more than ever.

Why Most Security Teams Are Fighting the Wrong Battles | Sharon Isaaci, Tonic Security
Episode 78
Thursday, February 26, 2026 • Duration 40:46
Security teams are drowning in alerts.
What if the real breach happens while you are busy fixing the wrong one?
In this episode of IsraelTech, we sit down with Sharon Isaaci, Co-Founder and CEO of Tonic Security, to discuss the growing gap between cyber detection and real risk reduction.
Sharon previously served as Chief Intelligence Officer and CISO of the IDF Home Front Command, where he was responsible for intelligence and information security during national emergencies. After transitioning to the private sector, he saw a recurring pattern: breaches often stemmed from vulnerabilities that were already detected but never addressed in time.
Tonic Security was built to tackle that exact problem.
We cover:
* Why most security findings are false positives
* The challenge of prioritization in modern cybersecurity
* How AI is changing exposure management
* The tension between responsibility and authority inside security teams
* Building a startup during wartime
* Why resilience is essential for founders

Episode 76
Wednesday, February 11, 2026 • Duration 46:22
