Like New York, Tel Aviv is a high-tech hub with a vibrant startup scene. Getting there requires a different approach to funding and growth. So they beef up their forecasts, promise exponential growth, take the money, and in many cases, burn through it… only to find that their company wasn’t meant to be the one-in-a-hundred case. I knew my company wasn’t a unicorn (or in this case, a whale). I met with VCs in Tel Aviv, but I didn’t feel pressured to fundraise before we were ready for it.
