Has New York Replaced Silicon Valley for Israeli Founders? ft. Eyal Bino of 97212 Ventures

For years, Israeli tech has often been described as a single, unified ecosystem. Today, that narrative is evolving.

In this episode, Eyal Bino, founding partner of 97212 Ventures, explores how New York has emerged as a critical tech hub for Israeli founders outside of Israel - and how this global expansion is opening new pathways for growth, collaboration, and impact across the Israeli tech ecosystem.


If you think success comes down to talent alone, this episode will challenge you.


What we cover:

- Why New York, not Silicon Valley, is becoming the default second home for Israeli startups

- How Israeli founders change when they live in New York and what they lose and gain

- The uncomfortable role luck plays in venture capital and why few people admit it

- Why many VCs say they help founders but don't deliver when it matters

- What a real day-one partner actually does beyond writing a check

- Why branding as a “New York company” matters more than people want to admit

- How introductions, trust, and timing beat pitch decks and cold emails

- Why the venture model may be misaligned with founders and where it is cracking


This episode is for founders who are tired of recycled advice and investors who know the real game is rarely discussed in public.
