The Impact of Military Intelligence on Israeli Tech Innovation

In this episode of the World Class Podcast, Chris Vasquez sits down with legendary solo venture capitalist Oren Zeev, founder of Zeev Ventures. With a one-man fund that has consistently outperformed the biggest firms in Silicon Valley, Oren shares deep insights on how to think like a world-class investor, the mindset founders need to build generational companies, and why being contrarian is often the key to winning.

We dive into his origin story, his investing philosophy, and how he made early bets on companies like Chegg, Audible, Houzz, and Next Insurance. Oren also unpacks the unique traits of Israeli entrepreneurs, decentralized decision-making, and why America needs more radical meritocracy.

This conversation is packed with tactical wisdom and timeless frameworks for anyone building, investing, or simply looking to think more clearly and act more courageously in a noisy world.
