Specialization is key in so many disciplines. Judah Taub says it's not any different in . As the market has matured, 'specialized' VC can be a better way forward for founders and investors:

A founder asks: What's the ideal runway?

Consider this, says Judah Taub: The ideal is actually raising capital when you *can* vs. when you *must*. An ideal timeline (founders who've been there would likely agree) is raising your next funding long before you need it.

With Passover this week, we're feeling reflective ๐Ÿ™Œ

During the 2022 holiday season, we invited our network to choose where Hetz's charitable donations should go: Helping children, supporting the environment, and creating social impact through career development in underserved communities. We're so grateful to have a caring and passionate network - and of course, there was plenty to go round for all three causes!

Stay tuned - we'll feature some of the organizations who received this support, and the impact we made together with our network! If you're looking to make a local impact here in Israel, consider Tech-Career or ClearGiving ืงืœื™ืจ ื’ื™ื‘ื™ื ื’.

Thanks to Yala Impact for making it easy to make a difference!

Wishing you a happy and gratifying Passover holiday ๐Ÿฅ‚
