Fantastic insights. In a world bent on eliminating stress - both personally and in our organizations - it’s important to understand that tension is typically the catalyst for the most productive change. Comfortable people and companies rarely lead. Balance is key. #leadershipculture #entrepreneurlife #disruptors

What does it mean to be "antifragile"? Another good analogy from Elliott Parker in his book "The Illusion of Innovation". What if you were a large corporation or an insurtech startup in a box marked "antifragile" and someone picked up the box you were in and shook it really hard (aka market changes, internal conflict, challenges, etc)? You would come out stronger than before! Strength 💪 is built through struggle 🏋♂️ and the struggle is real.... #antifragile #IllusionOfInnovation #venturestudio #startupstudio #employeebenefits #insurtech #zoefoundry

STARTUP STORY: The idea for Canopy Connect sprang from a chance conversation at a dinner - and was prototyped over a weekend. Insurtech Insights talks to Tolga Tezel about his extraordinary startup journey in our latest founder interview that charts the challenges and pitfalls of the startup experience. Speaking about that first push to get his idea and company out of the starting blocks, Tezel says: "I started reaching out to more insurance agents. I noticed how many insurance agency offices were in my area, so I began walking into them with my laptop, showing the prototype to anyone who would listen. I also emailed agents and tried to connect with as many as possible." Read the full story here: https://lnkd.in/g4X_vuyZ #insurtechinsights #insurance #insurtech #data #startups #ceo

Happy New Year to our incredible FinTLV Ventures community – partners, colleagues, pioneering entrepreneurs, and friends in the #Insurtech space! 2023 was a landmark year for us, supporting our portfolio companies’ management teams with our deep domain expertise and global network of dozens of insurance and reinsurance partners: 🥂 We invested and joined the board of Assured Allies and AKUR8, reinforcing our commitment to innovative solutions. 🥂 We hosted Israel's largest conference in the Insurtech field, attracting global attendees. Featuring startups, insightful lectures, field trips, and valuable 1:1 meetings between startups and #investors, this conference was the starting point for many new collaborations. 🥂 We celebrated the acquisition of Corvus by Travelers, further proof of our strategic vision and effective execution. 2023 was also filled with challenges and heartbreak for us in Israel, but we are eager to work together to make the world a better place in 2024. As we step into 2024, let’s carry this momentum forward. Fueled by our shared vision, we're positioned to lead the Insurtech space with smarter solutions, stronger partnerships, and transformative impact. Let’s make 2024 a year to remember!

Join us in this growth hacking and brainstorming session to meet some early stage companies to make sure that they are well positioned to experience #exponentialgrowth . Happy to be a part of this event with #KiwiTech . Sometimes the best way forward is by having an open mindset to where one can improve entrepreneurial systems. Here to be a resource and to see if we can provide some invaluable resources at the same time. Entrepreneurialism is the heart of the #AmericanEconomy. The 23 million small entrepreneurial business in America accounted for 54 percent of all us sales. Whereas corporate America has been downsizing, the rate of start-ups has grown, and the rate for small business failures has declined. #InnovateAndInspire #StartupSuccess #KiwiTechDemoDay

I am so grateful for the #KiwiTech team and the global entrepreneurs for sharing their best practices, best ideas, and being open minded enough to accept constructive feedback from both Edna A. & I. I firmly believe that everyone left with more ideas, inspiration, and better connections than before we all came. The businesses and entrepreneurs that came are but a small sub-sample of the #GreenEconomy & #OrangeEconomy that the near and long run economic future is lead by. Remember #EntrepreneurshipIsKey. Entrepreneurship is essential to economic growth and development, particularly in developing and emerging economies. When an entrepreneur launches an exciting new venture and puts in the hard work and effort to create a new business, it’s not only personally gratifying, but promising for the local community and economy. We know some of the factors that drive economic growth overall, but how does entrepreneurship specifically help facilitate these moving parts in the economy? Essentially, without entrepreneurship, the economic landscape would not be the same one we live in today. Simple pleasures we enjoy each morning, like having our pick between a few of our favorite local cafes and coffee shops, would not be possible without the efforts of entrepreneurs. The process by which entrepreneurs stimulate the economy is known as Entrepreneurship-led Economic Development (ELED). #Entrepreneurship drives economic growth by creating jobs, enhancing productivity, strengthening community, and spurring innovation. I do have some resources and potential introductions for companies that are in the earlier stages of the #businesslifecycle , so please feel free to reach out to me and have a virtual coffee- I promise that I have as much to learn from you, and who knows- maybe we can create a mutually beneficial relationship based on reciprocity. Here is my calendar: https://lnkd.in/e9g4uxxq Also, here is the official recording of the event, in case anyone wants to look at some of these future "Unicorns" in the making: https://lnkd.in/eKbqYDEP "My success is contingent on your success" Tate
