It's hashtag#FIRGUN time! "It's good to be a SEEKER, but sooner or later You have to be a FINDER. And then it is well to give what You have found, a gift into the world for whoever will accept it.” ―Richard D. Bach (1970) from JONATHAN LIVINGSTON SEAGULL

Hope you enjoy's this jam-packed edition. And keep on creating! Shabbat shalom to those celebrating and hope to meet some of the readers of this newsletter at Slush in Helsinki next week, please say hello if you're there.
Especially for new Israeli startups, 'stealth' is the norm
I think there's a few drivers for this:
- don't wan't to share news in a time of war
- many startups don't share their pre-seed rounds and 'merge' announcements
- desire to avoid competition until they're ready
