Scouting Start Ups in Israel - Part 2
summary
Startups need to do the homework: show who else works on the problem, be honest about unknowns, and avoid uninformed pitches that kill progress. Corporate adoption takes time — plan for 6–9 months at best, 18 months more likely — and mid‑level product or engineering managers who feel the pain make better partners than CEO introductions. A corporate liaison should prepare startups but not become a separate silo. Crowdfunding buys dollars and market validation, not corporate distribution; a 36‑hour hackathon is used here to recruit talent.
