Dear Entrepreneurs,
Looking year-to-date, the markets have settled down with far fewer tech IPO/exits and more modest valuations. Despite the obvious current sentiment, we believe this is not all bad, since the markets now appear to be realistic, and thus, probably more sustainable. Everyone needs a breather from time to time.
We are excited to share the launch of PwC Advisory’s new subsidiary, focusing on Digital, Cloud and Cybersecurity services (you can read more in the Expert Hub section). Additionally, you can see interesting opportunities such as Workshop for startups by NVIDIA and Drive TLV, Calling2Scale, Fintech Map by Viola and more.
Happy Passover
Happy Easter
Ramadan Kareem
to all of you, dear readers, and to your loved ones!
May you all stay safe in these uncertain times.
Best Regards,
Yaron Weizenbluth
Head of Hi Tech Cluster, PwC Israel
