There were some great conferences in Israel over the last few weeks but let's remember: Networking is critical but considered mid-to-long range BizDev. Your business needs more. Simply put, there are 3 types of BizDev (Business Development) activities: * Near - 1 to 3 months * Mid - 3 to 6 months * Long - 6 months To create a successful pipeline, a business or charity needs to be investing time and money into all three. While people argue about the exact split, no one can survive on just long-range BizDev (i.e. Networking and Conferences). Once you make the decision that it's time to invest money into BizDev, make sure all three types are getting attention. #outsourcedFinanceDept #fractionalCFO #israel

According to the Israel Democracy Institute’s August 2024 Israeli Voice Index, 78.5% of Jewish respondents and 49% of Arabs harbor doubts regarding the likelihood of an agreement in the near future. - by Frederic Eger/TOI - Overall, 73.5% of respondents were pessimistic while only 20.9% were optimistic and 5.6% said they don’t know. Respondents were also asked whether they agreed with US Secretary of State Antony Blinken that recent effortsto reach a dealconstitute the “last opportunity” to get the hostages home. Among Arabs, 49% agreed, while 41% disagreed and 10% said they don’t know. Jews were split roughly evenly, with 44% saying they agreed, 45%saying they disagreed and 11% saying they don’t know. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has come under immense criticism domestically for allegedly blocking a deal with his insistence since July on continued Israeli control of the Philadelphi Corridor along the Gaza-Egypt border and of central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor, which divides the north of the Strip from its south. During a press conference on Monday evening, Netanyahu made clear he would not agree to Israel leaving the Philadelphi Corridor, even for the first 42-day phase of a hostage-ceasefire agreement. Asked if Netanyahu’s demand to retain the Philadelphi Corridor is “largely based on military and strategic considerations,”51% agreed,while 39% indicated that they believe his position is “largely intended to prevent a deal from being reached, for Netanyahu’s own political reasons.” The results were also highly dependent on political orientation — among Jewish Israelis, 77.5% of left-wing respondents said Netanyahu’s motivations were political while 78% of right-wing respondents said they were strategic. The survey also posed to respondents a statement attributed by The New York Times to sources in the American government that “Israel has achieved all that it can military in the Gaza Strip.” Only 24% of Jewish Israelis and 33% of Arab Israelis agreed with the statement, with majorities of both groups saying that Israel has not achieved all that it can militarily in Gaza. Despite the broad pessimism about negotiations with Hamas, more Israelis were optimistic about the future of democracy in the country in August than had been in July. A sharper jump was recorded in optimism about the future of national security, with 43% of Jews saying they were optimistic, compared to just 30% in July, and the share of Arabs who said they were optimistic nearly tripling, to 21% in August from just 8% in July. There remains no consensus among Jewish Israelis about how exactly to respond to Hezbollah, though the majority favor increased action, whether a deep offensive in Lebanon, including targeting Lebanese infrastructure (46%), or more aggressive, though still limited, attacks on the terror group (21%) compared to the current skirmishes.

40,000. Let that sink in. Time is the enemy of everything, if you can weather the storm, time, you will find yourself and your company achieving awesome things. We are surviving, and I am excited now that the platform is built to bring in additional members to clean up the css to get it out to the public. I recommend honestly the bootstrap approach until things stabilize or serious funding or revenue are coming in. hire the talent you need to address the problem. half of companies kill themselves out of ego in hiring those who contribute to long term solutions that may exacerbate the short term. food for thought. it's only on supporting each other, rowing together, we weather the storm. #israel #israeliinnovation
