Delighted to have spoken at Health2Tech about crafting effective GTM strategies for digital health startups. Thank you to everyone who attended, and special thanks to @AlexKoshykov for hosting! Looking forward to the next event!
Our Health2Tech event on Tuesday was a blast! Thanks everyone for coming, and hope to see you at our next events soon.
Can't express my gratitude to our expert @MeirTomer who did a super insightful talk about GTM strategies for #digitalhealth companies.
Stay tuned!
Israel-founded and US-based VC-backed startups are 9X more likely to become a unicorn than chance would allow. Other US “unicorn motherlands” are India (6.5X) and UK (2.5X). One conclusion: the most promising startups from these countries move to US. #VC#stanford#startup
1/PUMPED to announce that, for the first time in @firstround Fast Track’s history, we are publicly opening up the program to all operators in the startup ecosystem!📚💡⚡🧠
Two years of remote work and zoom. Two years of virtual friendships. Two years of building an online community. So special to finally meet so many @firstround community members IRL for the first time!! 🥰✨💖
This is a beautiful obituary for one of my favorite @wharton colleagues - Sigal Barsade. Sigal was not only a brilliant academic, she was an amazing mentor and friend. She’s left us far too soon. https://t.co/Ck1KppnsDf
How Many Countries Have Produced Unicorn Founders?
Out of >1K founders of US unicorns: ~half born outside the US.
Here are all the countries.
65 (!) countries have “produced” at least 1 US unicorn founder.

Noteworthy data from @StanfordGSB. After the US and #India, #Israel is the largest export of US unicorn #startup founders. The per capita data is even more shocking. 1 out of 180k(!) Israelis would become a US unicorn startup founder 🦄 🚀 @IlyaStrebulaev
Where Were Unicorn Founders Born?
New result on immigrants & US economy
For 1,078 founders of 500 US unicorns, I identified founders' countries of birth. Conclusion: Over four out of ten unicorn founders are first gen immigrants.

Congrats to Ro for its 4th anniversary! As a former employee, I can attest that @ZReitano@saman@rob are talented leaders who built an amazing company. Culture at a high-growth startup is constantly evolving and might not be for everyone. Can’t wait to see Ro’s future impact
“When @VaultHealth_ showed up to the stock market floor to roll out its services nationally, it had 43 employees with HQ in NY, and ~$10M in the bank from a Series A fundraising round.
Today, it’s grown to 500+ workers who live all over the country and has another 100 openings”🚀
The pandemic set in motion a new trajectory for many health tech startups, particularly those nimble enough to respond to a world crisis that confused and broke traditional public health care systems.

On behalf of Miami-Dade County, thank you to the members of @IDF who traveled halfway across the world to stand shoulder to shoulder with our first responders, and who poured their hearts into the search.
We are forever grateful for your service to our community.
The startup nation is scaling! Record Israeli IPOs of $38.5B last month. A nation the size of NJ is producing more startups, more NASDAQ listed companies, and attracting more VC dollars, per capita, than any other country in the world. I couldn’t be more proud @yaronsamid

Jews are being publicly beaten in broad daylight the street of America and Europe...
A thread🧵
(yes, it's that bad)
We'll start in London, where Palestinian activists use a bullhorn to tell people the rape the daughters of Jews:
The recent attacks on the Jewish community are despicable, and they must stop. I condemn this hateful behavior at home and abroad — it’s up to all of us to give hate no safe harbor.
