Eliezer Manor, Co-Founder, Israeli VC Association & Co-Founder, Redds Capital

The Brand Called You podcast brings you a venture capitalist from Israel, Eliezer Manor, who talks to us about a unique startup process that is being followed in Israel. Eliezer is the co-founder of the Israeli VC Association and also the cofounder of REDDS Capital. He is a teacher and author. Eliezer begins by sharing the key milestones in his life, co-founding his companies as one of them. He then shares why Israel is called the Startup Capital of the World and the famous Israeli Process to startup. The country Israel lacks any natural resources of its own, hence the only resource left at their disposal is Human Resources and they have made quite a good use of it by making the country a startup hub. Eliezer talks to us about the startup ecosystem of Israel and the cooperation between the government and private sector that makes it convenient for people to start up. Then he delves into the subject of Venture Capital Business and shares his insights into different topics related to it. He tells us how a venture capital fund is set up. Eliezer also shares how a VC decides to exit a business venture, “you build a company for value, not for an exit,” he opines while telling that IPOs, mergers and acquisitions, and open innovation are one of contributing factors of exits. Eliezer has been helping startups grow for many years and he shares his wisdom on entrepreneurship with us. He shares the basic mistakes made by startup entrepreneurs and tells us exactly when a startup should scale up. He advises startup entrepreneurs to have a clear vision of what they wish to achieve. And reminds us all that every day is a new day. Tune in to listen to this amazing conversation!
