What happens when the startup is done, the machines are running worldwide – and you’re left asking: what actually matters to me now?
“Entrepreneurship isn’t a profession. It’s a way of thinking. The same tools that build a company can rebuild a community, heal people, and create a future.”
After a decade of building a startup, raising hundreds of millions of shekels, and installing machines across the world – I suddenly found myself with silence. At first, I enjoyed it.
But that silence turned into something restless. A burning question I couldn’t ignore: what do I actually care about? Where do I want to put my energy now?
The shift from business entrepreneurship to social entrepreneurship wasn’t a career change. It was an internal one. I discovered that the tools are the same – only the goals had changed. Instead of ROI, impact. Instead of measuring profit, measuring lives that shifted.
This talk is the story of that transition – honest, personal, and full of the same uncertainty that comes with building anything from scratch.
What You’ll Walk Away With
- From ROI to impact – How the same business tools can be used to create real social change
- The community pub – How a casual idea between friends became a community hub drawing 500 people on a single evening
- From crisis to vision – How October 7th led to founding a nonprofit focused on rebuilding the Western Negev
- Full circle – How the kibbutz that invested in us at the very beginning became part of the effort to restore an entire region
- From donor to builder – Why I didn’t want to give charity – I wanted to build systems that create lasting impact
- The healing village – How my personal journey connects to building a place where people can find their way back to themselves
