Over the course of my journey – from building a tech startup, to scaling a company that raised hundreds of millions of shekels, developed machines, and installed them around the world, to doing social work in the Western Negev – I’ve learned things that aren’t written in any management book.
My talks are built on real field experience. No theory. No polished slide decks. Just wins and failures, peaks and crashes, and decisions made when the ground was shaking beneath my feet.
Entrepreneurship isn’t a glamorous story. It’s a thousand small steps -most of them invisible, some of them quietly painful. The real skill of a founder isn’t the size of the vision. It’s the ability to hold the dream and the reality in both hands – without letting go of either.
What really happens on the inside when you’re building something from nothing? Aviv Ratzman shares a raw, personal story about fear, self-doubt, thousands of rejections — and the mental tools that kept him going. A talk for founders, executives, and builders who want more than a success story. They want the truth behind it.
How do you sell something that doesn’t exist yet? How do you convince an industry to change what’s been working for a hundred years? Aviv Ratzman shares the unfiltered story of building a global tech company – with all the nos, pivots, and breakthroughs along the way.
After a decade of building a global tech company, Aviv Ratzman found himself asking a question no spreadsheet could answer: what actually matters to me now? This is the story of the transition from startup founder to social entrepreneur – and why the tools that build a business are the same ones that can rebuild a community.
