Editor's Notes
- , I’ll share one VC’s perspective on the prospects for venture capital, and how we can steer our way through difficult times. I am mindful that Israel has more at stake here than the welfare of a few hundred professionals. As a percentage of either GDP or assets, venture capital investment in Israel is the highest in the world. This economy, more than any other, depends upon technical innovation. So Israel needs us to restore the health of our asset class, to do our job as the gatekeepers of capital, and to do it well.
