August Meetup in ZOA - The Tel Aviv-Yafo Entrepreneur Meetup Group

How I promised, I publish today with light delay (work routine no left free time at all) short resume of the last meeting of "Tel-Aviv Entrepreneur Meetup Group". This time meeting took place in in ZOA House (founded by Zionist Organization of America) on 28/08/2008. Nice venue, but still small for meeting over 200 people. Sitting on the stairs was not comfortable at all, but was more than compensated by valuable lectures.

The both lectures was filmed and I will post here link to video files, so anybody who will like to refresh his memory or did not attended at all, will have pleasure to see them.

Excellent speeches, both - presentation by Ophir Cohen (Compucall’s CEO,- the sponsor of event) and “Free World Dialup” story by Jeff Pulver. I am not going to narrate here in blog who is Jeff Pulver, - but I like to share my emotion. I have wondered by outstanding speech of Jeff, - not only by “fascinating success life story”, but ability to splash out amount of interesting (at least for me) information in so short timeframe. Several times I catch him on glance to his hand watch… It was looking like he is going to finish, but he just has continue and continue… The warm atmosphere and the light comic style of speech left me sensation of intimate friends meeting.

And once again I catch myself on thinking that big things happen in big country, huge market and almost unlimited opportunities. I agree that here in Israel startups “grows up like mushrooms after rain”, but most of them oriented on American or World market.

Regarding pictures, this time I have forgot my camera at home, so all pictures taken by Nokia mobile phone, - therefore my apologies for pure quality and I post here just a few of them, full set you can find here.









Talking with Gady ( founder of the group) I have figured out that on coming meetings new interesting things going to happen - short presentations of new ventures/ideas for group members (some of them Investors) and live video conference with potential investors from USA. Sounds great, at least it is perfect chance to attend on “live startup workshop” and learn from others how to present, to see reaction of investors, questions they ask, accents they do and etc …

Once again – thanks to all group members and sponsor(s).
See you again on coming events.

Regards
Fabian

Knowing better people around you

While midnight web-surfing and scanning the "Tel Aviv-Yafo Entrepreneur Meetup Group" members profiles, I have found a lot of interesting people, blogs they manage, services some of them provides. Some contacts made for our new venture needs. With my pleasure I am going to share information, which may be interesting for local startup entrepreneurs. Of course it is hard to announce all of them in one single post, but I like to mention some of them, other may be disclosed in later posts.

So, via Boris Nadion's profile I have found that he is the member of small group of 3 (together with Vitaly Kushner and Michael Mazyar) software developers with an impressive list of tools and technologies, named Astrails.
– Tel-Aviv based web consultancy. I liked their last project – BitWine- beta release of web-service which helps
"find skilled professionals in various areas such as Technology, Nutrition, Travel, Relationship, Parenting etc, get to know them in an informal setting, and enjoy their consultation from the comfort of your home".

- service added to my blog "Cofee shops" list – startups and projects I found interesting.

In Liat Vardi's profile I have figured out women driven community for women entrepreneurs. She also has own blog, - informative resource, not only for women's… :-)
I recommend to visit "Venture Capitals" category of her blog with several interviews with representatives of some local VC funds.

- Exploring Carmel Ventures I have found a few coming events, one of them may be very attractive for entrepreneurs - Internet & Media StartUpScale on November 11, 2008, so update your calendars.


And the last for today announce about Garage Geeks, found via "Carmel Venture"- strongly recommended...


Physical & virtual space for multi-disciplinary creative people to meet, innovate and build non-commercial projects that would otherwise may not come to life.


Thats all for today, hope you liked it.

Salute,
Fabian

Local worksop found

In reply to my invitation to discussion, posted on “the.co.ils Zone” forum I got reply from Erez Eden, about local community – “3 day startup - Israel”.



Being surprised I like to thank you Erez for provided information. Looks like I miss it searching myself, Google not perfect ... or my efforts were not energetic enough.

Sharing with my blog readers about “3 Day Startup - Israel”, I have to make delayed announce about they success - newborn startup, Tribiu!


This website is a product born from an intense weekend of 56 passionate professionals who spent 56 consecutive hours of their free time creating a unique contribution to the community…


My congratulation to all “56 passionate professionals”! Hope I will have an opportunity to participate in next coming “3 Day Startup - Israel” event.

See you there...

First Meetup Resume

First of all I like to thank Deloitte (Israel) for contributing the amazing place for our meeting. You can see on the first photo below Round Tower of Azrieli Center where they offices are located on the 42 floor, and two more photos with fantastic view from the room we have pleasure to meet.

Secondary, - my thanks to Gadi for meeting organization. Gadi, keep doing it and ask us for help in case you need some…

So, about meeting - special quests were two nice persons from M.Y.Firam business development consultancy: Amir Student and Dr. Menachem Student (actually father and son). They lecture was very informative, but short... Looks like “my hungry brain” was prepared for much more information... Today, analyzing this I understand that for dialog (like for Tango) needs two parts... Looks like we did not where ready to such kind of collaboration. Anyway, I am very thankful for useful information sharing. I have liked the resume – that most of non trivial problems each entrepreneur may solve himself. It inspires me personally and most of listeners.

In reason that it was my first meeting, I did not knew anybody personally and it took some time till I had feel comfortable and start to talk with people. Finally I made some contacts /conversations.

Going out, to the road

I have subscribed to some Israeli Startup groups via LinkedIn social network. One of them "The Tel Aviv-Yafo Entrepreneur Meetup Group" has meeting tomorrow Thursday, July 17, at 09:00am in...


Oh, I can not say where – I have found in last moment before publishing this post that information about location of meeting open only for group members. Sorry, but I will post some resume about this meeting here.

How many will come? So, till now 56 members says "Yes" and 14 – "May Be". Let see tomorrow.

What for I am going to meeting? Hm, what for all people meets in thematic groups? Meet new mind-liked persons, collaborate, learn from them, to share with them, discuss, and etc... That in general, but to be more specific – in "Long run", I like to meet some people, to "encapsulate" them (to not forget myself) to crew core and "go out to the road".

See you there...
