Israel’s tech industry has shown resilience since the war in Gaza began nearly two years ago, but a rising chorus of boycott calls and international disapproval raises hard questions about the Startup Nation’s future as a tech hub. Fortunately, optimists remain among entrepreneurs and investors.
I spoke with Israel Tech Mission founder David Siegel, a technology executive with a bachelor’s degree in philosophy, politics, and economics and an MBA from the Wharton School. He taught leadership at Columbia University, served as CEO of Investopedia and Meetup—both successful exits—hosts the Keep Connected podcast, and wrote Decide and Conquer: 44 Decisions That Will Make or Break All Leaders.
