📈Our WYNDEX update for today:
The WYNDEX is in the green for its fourth week in a row. That said, this week the Wyndex fell below the NASDAQ’s 2.91% post-labor day rally. This week we saw most of the movement (4.5% through 8.52%) outside the cyber domain. Digital bulls (Etoro, Oddity, Global E, and Wix) continued their march and lifted the index up. Palo Alto Networks and Cyberark with a modest rise of 2%. Two notable red dynamics: Varonis completed an acquisition of Slashnext (an AI native email security company) for $150mm total deal value and suffered a %5 share price decline. And the ICL group shed 5.59%.
🎯Our Big Shorts for today:
- Israel’s state comptroller issues a damning report on the government’s handling of civilian affairs post-Oct. 7th: The report charges that civilians “experienced the failures of the Israeli government firsthand” - including those evacuated from homes in the North and South, reservists who have been continually drafted, and business owners who have been impacted by the war.
- India and Israel have inked a bilateral agreement: Not a lot of details yet but it’s being hailed as a “strategic step” to open doors for Israeli & Indian investors, strengthen Israeli exports, and provide more certainty for both countries in doing business with each other. (India is already one of the biggest purchasers of Israeli arms.)
🔎And our Long Play today is an interview with Oren Zeev, a solo venture capitalists who has backed many companies started by Israeli founders: Houzz, Decart, Navan (formerly TripActions), and Riverside, to name a few. We talk to Oren about the current state of the IPO market & other opportunities for exits, what he’s seeing from Israeli founders today, and what it means to be a “solo VC/GP.”
