IDA Ventures

And that’s a wrap!  After an inspiring journey across New York City, San Francisco and Los Angeles, the 2024 IDA Ventures and a16z Tech Week Israel Innovation Series has officially come to a close. We are deeply grateful to the hundreds of attendees and our esteemed speakers for their invaluable insights and contributions, which made this series a true success.   Over the past two weeks, IDA Ventures sparked engaging discussions in California, led by visionary thought leaders including Kerry Leigh Miller (Founder, IDA Ventures), Oded Hermoni, Edo Perry, Lisa Dolan, Omer Fein, Marla Sofer, Kenny Hamilton, Lital Gilad-Shaoulian, and Will Weisman. Under the theme, “New Perspectives on Investing in Israel Innovation,” diplomats, investors, founders, and influencers came together to delve into Israel’s cutting-edge technology landscape, showcasing the immense potential for both transformative impact and robust financial returns. As we bring these dynamic conversations to a close, we also turn our hearts toward the celebration of Sukkot and Simchat Torah. These holidays inspire us with their themes of unity, resilience, and renewal. In the spirit of these occasions, we stand by the belief that, regardless of the challenges ahead, “We Will Dance Again,” united in hope, strength, and shared purpose. #idaventures #techweek #innovation #israelinvesting Revital Reitzes Westriech Jeff Frumin Sonia Petecka TECH WEEK by a16z thank you Eric D Kroll
