In his 20s, Chamath Palihapitiya moved to Israel for two years to dive into the heart of the ‘Startup Nation,’ eager to learn from its groundbreaking innovation.
Most know him as the billionaire investor behind Social Capital and the co-host of the All-In Podcast. Chamath chose to immerse himself in Tel Aviv, a city that has turned into one of the world’s most vibrant tech hubs. Why Tel Aviv? Because it boasts a global reach that draws top-tier venture capitalists.
Producing unicorn after unicorn and raking in billions in funding each year.
Just look at the roster of successes: Waze, Mobileye, Wix, Fiverr, Lemonade, Monday—the list goes on. Each story proves how this dynamic ecosystem fosters innovation at a blistering pace. But what makes Israel’s ecosystem truly unique is how it combines cutting-edge innovation with a deep spiritual grounding.
According to Rav Zeira from the Talmud: "Breathing the air of Israel makes you wiser."
No wonder so many entrepreneurs are able to figure out solutions to world problems across all sectors and industries. If you’re a founder hungry for growth, follow Chamath’s lead. Plant yourself in Tel Aviv for 90 days with a tourist visa.
• Talk to dreamers and doers in random coffee shops • Play matkot in the beach at 2PM with investors • Venture out to Jerusalem for spiritual experiences
Sometimes, to amplify your ambition is a new environment—and Israel might be the catalyst you’ve been waiting for.
