Defense Tech Is Israel’s Future – Like It or Not ft. Little Leshem from Protego Ventures

Meet Lital Leshem, the battlefield-tested investor reshaping Israel’s defense tech future.

From Gaza to global VC, Lital is now leading a $150M fund investing in unmanned systems, AI, sensors, and satellite comms — and she’s not shy about what’s broken in our defense ecosystem or who’s to blame.


🎙️ In this punchy, no-holds-barred sit-down with Yoel Israel, she talks:


Why Europe’s defense panic is Israel’s moment to lead


What went wrong on October 7th - and how we fix it


How she’s turning Iron Dome innovators into global unicorns


🔥 Plus: the controversial reason she says world peace could kill her fund...


👀 Watch now and sound off:

Can a startup save a country? Or is defense tech the only real path to peace?
