Internationally renowned as the Startup Nation, Israel has taken a role in recent years as a global venture capital superpower. In October, 2015, the Shoresh Institute published an encouraging report highlighting several points about this trend.
“There are no other examples of a situation like this,” he said. “I give a lot of credit to the media for creating the country’s brand. Startup Nation became a strong brand, and we are still worthy of it because we create startups and sell them. We are a creative country of startups for sale. With our geopolitical situation, and the Israeli characteristic that gets things off the ground but is less interested in ongoing management, I don’t see this changing soon.”
