Entrepreneur at an Alenbi Street Bar

Some excited and some bored, the Tel Aviv startup scene is going at hyper speed © 2018 D-A Vider

The startup scene in Tel Aviv is running at hyper speed. Seems as if anyone who has an idea can get a startup going. This craze is not new. When networking was new 25 years ago engineers were hyped on all kind of new product ideas. The dot-com bubble hit Tel Aviv much like Wall Street and silicon valley. But the memories of highs and then lows cycles are not enough for the older entrepreneurs. The young ones have never seen the boom and bust cycles, so they can't even imagine what happens when trends run their way down.

This brings us to nightly meet-up gatherings at hi-tech offices and even bars. On workdays, Sundays to Thursdays almost every technology sector can get people to come out. Take a look at the MeetUp.com portal under Tel Aviv and surrounding areas. The crowd is mostly young and looking for a connection with investors or a co-founder. If you have a free evening in Tel Aviv check out the meetups for a new and different experience.
