Back in the Hi-Tech Startup Capital of the World: Tel Aviv

I’m spending this week in Tel Aviv and I look forward to spending time catching up with a number of (early) early-stage startups and the Israel venture community.

About eight months ago I co-founded a stealth mode company in the social media space which is based in Tel Aviv. The company has not yet been formally announced and my role is CVO as in “Chief Visionary Officer.” While I am in Tel Aviv this week we are having our first set of meetings with possible investors.

Tomorrow I am hosting my first “Real-Time Social Networking Breakfast” event in Tel Aviv this year. This will be my largest breakfast so far in 2009 (out of 9 others that I have hosted in 9 cities) as over 400 people are registered for the event. Tomorrow afternoon I am working with a friend of mine on a parody music video for Kinnernet followed by a a set of non-stop back-to-back meetings with mostly early-early stage startups.

I am not aware of any other city anywhere in the world where one can smell entrepreneurship in the air. Regardless of the state of the global economy, each time I visit Tel Aviv I continue to be amazed by: the people I meet; the ideas I hear about; the innovation which is happening; and by the “can do” energy in the air. Just about anything and everything is possible. All it takes is an open mind, vision, inspiration and opportunity.

I enjoy visiting Tel Aviv and the chance to catch up with friends who continue to the source of inspiration for a lot of the work that I do. These are some of the people who have helped establish Tel Aviv as the Hi-Tech Startup Capital of the World.

The idea behind this article is excellent, and for me the first item ("Create your own damn content!") is the real gem here: most of the people spend their entire lives only consuming what is created by others, and creating nothing themselves--or never sharing what they create, which is better than not creating at all, though not the best they could do.
