When it comes to startup success, Israelis don’t just build - they connect.

In this episode, Lirone Glikman, CEO of the Human Factor and author of The Super Connectors Playbook, joins Yoel Israel to unpack what really makes the Israeli tech ecosystem thrive and why connection is the biggest competitive edge.

From cultural clashes in Tokyo to the empathy that drives founders to help competitors, Lirone shares her insights on building authentic relationships, developing a founder-led personal brand, and creating meaningful opportunities through human connection.

You’ll learn:

- Why Israeli founders stand out in global networking

- How to build credibility and visibility through personal branding

- The biggest mistakes Israelis make when pitching abroad

- Why introverts might actually be better networkers

- How The Super Connectors Playbook turns human skills into business success

Because behind every great Israeli startup is a network that believes in giving back.
