summary

Argues that Central and Eastern Europe and Latin America are underused innovation hotspots, with smaller countries producing top tech talent and faster city-level experimentation; proposes joint ventures across borders instead of offshoring, and treats blockchain for trust as the practical way to enable cross‑community collaboration. Describes launching a US office solo, formalizing culture only later, and distinguishes Waze by a driver-first product—real‑time incidents, police alerts and community editing—while betting biotech and healthcare as the next major disruption.
