WTF??????
There’s a lot of truth in what he’s saying.
#2, jag,
I disagree. A Venture Capitalist just doesn’t throw money away. They are looking for a place to invest. This guy is looking for suckers that have more money than brains. Venture Capitalists aren’t stupid.

What he said was very true during the dotcom boom… now, things might have changed since then….
[Duplicate post. – ed.]
This guy looks like a used car salesman – slimy.
This is NOT an anti-Jewish statement, although it is hard for it not to appear that way:
Avoid doing business with small Israeli companies or independent businessmen. They generally do not have your best interests in mind.
Respect their culture, their religion, their history, but be very cautions when doing business with Israeli businessmen… there seems to be lots and lots of fast talkers like this one.
Why is it that the word ‘vibe’ is spoken in English. Doesn’t his native tongue have a word for ‘vibe’. If not, I’d be willing to invest in that.
Here is the best advice on how to get money from Venture Capitalists.
DONT!!!
#8 – Why is it that the word ‘vibe’ is spoken in English. Doesn’t his native tongue have a word for ‘vibe’.
And as a true English speaker, you never use words such asentrepreneur, smorgasbord, zeitgeist, ombudsman, diva, fjord, yogurt, kefir and connoisseur, right?! 😉
#10, Well I never use zeitgeist or kefir. But I do use words like blitz and cul-de-sac.
Shame he’s not American, hell, even without the sub-titles, I’d vote for him.
what a slimy jew. I swear i know about 20 of these same exact guys. Has israel perfected cloning or is it just me? right down to the cigar…fuck i hate this guy, i wanna shove it up his nose for being such a sleaze-ball and giving us honest jews a bad name world-wide.
It’s a shame, some of the best lines in that video weren’t translated properly. It was more appreciable in Hebrew.
And yes, many many Israeli’s have only themselves in mind, but then, what entrepreneur doesn’t? They might have a slightly higher percentage of sleezeballs, but not so much more than any other country when it comes to entrepreneurs.
And the U.S. is giving Israel $30 billion in military aid next year? Sounds like these guys can take care of themselves without it. Oh yeah, I almost forgot, the $30 billion is so they can buy more U.S. defense industry products from corrupt people. It’s a complex money laundering scheme, but someone has to do it.
