The Genuinely Interested Podcast Ep 120 Gigi Levy Weiss - Israel's Most Prolific Investor
Gigi Levy Weiss not only served as a pilot in the Israeli Air Force - he is also a two-time CEO, founder, board member, and was previously a super-angel. Up until April 2011, Gigi served as the CEO of 888 Holdings, one of the world’s leading online gaming entertainment companies in the world. Currently, he is a general partner at NFX, one of Israel's leading VC firms - and he also sits on the board of MEET (Middle East Education through Technology). He is behind some of the most well-known and successful tech companies that have emerged in the last decade.
Gigi and I discussed :
- What he looks for in young entrepreneurs
- His opinion on why Israel is such a strong player in the tech space
- What happened with Clubhouse?
- The power of network effects
- Why the future is Web3
- Social Mobility
- His personal time management skills
- The reason he always tries to return everyone’s emails
- Why more young people want to become entrepreneurs than ever before
And so much more...
My Take: There is so much to discuss when it comes to entrepreneurship. Because technology is evolving so rapidly, our need to learn as entrepreneurs and keep up with the latest Innovations and emerging markets are key as well. However, some life lessons/wisdoms are classics, if not eternal - not bogged down by time or era, but simply great frameworks to work within regardless of externalities.
