Insight #2: Clear Tools Drive Adoption When financial products are difficult to compare, customers default to the simplest option. In practice, many leave significant funds idle in their current accounts, even when more rewarding alternatives exist. This pattern is particularly strong among younger customers. Nearly 50% of consumers under age 35 in Israel do not hold an investment portfolio. The barrier is not a lack of funds or motivation, but a limited understanding of financial products and how to use them effectively. For banks, this represents both a challenge and a growth opportunity. Institutions that build transparent, intuitive comparison tools - integrated directly into the customer journey and supported by real-time micro-explanations and financial simulators, reduce decision-making friction and unlock meaningful adoption. This is not merely a UX improvement. It is a strategic lever that strengthens trust, deepens engagement, and drives measurable growth across savings, deposits, and investment products. ✍️ For more customer experience insights, follow Hadas Arazi

When AI is accessible to everyone, technology is no longer the real differentiator. Implementing tools is the easy part. The real leadership challenge lies in our human capabilities: Driving context over control Empowering teams with a shared vision Building resilient, adaptable organizations I recently spoke at HIT PULSE about why the true edge in an AI-driven world isn't the technology itself it’s the human element behind it. Looking to bring this perspective or a tailored workshop to your organization? Let’s connect🤝 #Leadership #FutureOfWork #AI #OrganizationalGrowth #HITPulse

𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗶𝗱𝗻𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗼 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝗦𝘁𝘂𝗱𝗲𝗻𝘁🎸💻 What does it take to lead an AWS Partner in the age of AI? For Doron, it takes 1:00 AM study sessions and the "mindset of a sponge". In his first message of 2026, "The Midnight Echo of a Student," Founder & CEO of #RenovaCloud dives into the reality of the AI revolution: It doesn’t care about your resume; it only cares about your curiosity. The "shiny object" phase is over. We have entered the era of Agentic Reality.  In this candid reflection, Doron explores: • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 "𝟵𝟬 𝗠𝗶𝗻𝘂𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗮𝗶𝗻": Why he is building his own apps and testing documentation at midnight to breathe the same air as our customers. • 𝗕𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗟𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀: We are moving beyond passive storage. 2026 is about building "nervous systems"—autonomous business workflows that solve the "where does it hurt?" questions. • 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗛𝗮𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿 𝗠𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗼𝗱𝗼𝗹𝗼𝗴𝘆: Why 2026 demands we stop being distant consultants and start acting as architects of a new, integrated reality. We are moving into the Great Integration. The times haven't just changed—they’ve already shifted. Are you an architect of the new reality?

I've been teaching product management to engineering students at Afeka Tel Aviv Academic College of Engineering, and the biggest shift I see is this: the students who learn to ask WHY before HOW are the ones who will lead the next generation of products- not just build them. AI raises the ceiling for builders. Product thinking determines what gets built. Thanks Tair Kowalsky for inviting me!

Two new partners just joined SPARQL, our program for AI and data infra founders: Anthropic and Nebius are now part of our partner ecosystem. SPARQL now includes 15 corporate partners across the AI and data stack: cloud, compute, streaming, storage, observability, and deployment. Hetz is the only Israeli VC partner in the Databricks, Snowflake, Confluent, and Grafana Labs accelerator programs designed specifically for early-stage companies. If you're building in this space, we'd love to talk >> Guy Fighel

Proud to be featured in Polisa Magazine, discussing how AI is reshaping the future of insurance. At SettWiz, we believe the next generation of claims handling will be smarter, faster, and more consistent, combining deep domain expertise with AI-driven decision intelligence. Our mission is to help insurers move from legacy, manual claims workflows to a unified decision layer that identifies risk, improves accuracy, and supports better outcomes for both insurers and policyholders. A big thank you to Polisa for the feature and to the incredible people supporting our journey. #Insurtech #AI #Insurance #Claims #SettWiz

If you haven’t heard of TechHeal yet, we’re proud to help share what they’re setting out to do. TechHeal officially launched yesterday, bringing together therapists, senior leaders from Israel’s tech industry, and people coping with PTSD. Together, they’ll work on technological solutions for real challenges faced by people living with post-traumatic stress. The project is led by Michal Hershkovitz and created by TechGym in collaboration with Metiv | The Israel Psychotrauma Center. It’s an incredible initiative, and we’re proud to support it as sponsors.

Last week my Economics Professor at TAU talked about "Learning by doing". In Economics, it's the idea that companies get more productive and knowledgeable naturally as they learn from the repetition of doing the work continuously. As someone who loves theories, I realized that you can read every framework, take every class (and get to the final courses of your MBA 😉)- but the textbook doesn’t teach you how to align conflicting stakeholder priorities, design operational processes from scratch, or rebuild trust with users when taking over a legacy domain. You only learn how to handle the friction by sitting in the room and doing it, day after day. Navigating the messy reality of execution beats the theory every single time. To those who relate- what is a skill you learned strictly by doing?
