Welcome to Lior Prosor's Insights: Bridging Innovation Between Israel and the US

A New Platform for Cross-Continental Venture Insights

Welcome to my new digital home. After years of working at the intersection of the Israeli and American startup ecosystems, I'm excited to launch this platform to share insights, observations, and lessons learned from my journey in venture capital.

As a founding partner at Hanaco Ventures and having worked with dozens of startups across both ecosystems, I've had the privilege of witnessing firsthand how innovation transcends borders and how entrepreneurial spirit can be both universal and culturally unique.

My Journey and Purpose

My professional path has been driven by a fascination with how technology and entrepreneurship can solve meaningful problems. Having operated in both Tel Aviv and New York, I've developed a perspective on what makes startups succeed in different environments and how founders can build truly global companies from day one.

This blog represents my commitment to sharing these insights with entrepreneurs, investors, and innovation enthusiasts who are interested in:

• The unique dynamics of the Israeli startup ecosystem

• Building successful cross-border technology companies

• Venture capital trends and investment strategies

• The evolving relationship between the Israeli and American tech sectors

What to Expect

In the coming months, you can expect regular posts diving into various aspects of venture capital, entrepreneurship, and technology trends. I'll share case studies from my portfolio companies, analysis of emerging sectors, and practical advice for founders navigating the complex journey from early-stage startup to global company.

Some of the topics I'm particularly passionate about include:

• How Israeli startups can successfully expand into the US market

• What American VCs look for in Israeli founders

• The evolving funding landscape across different stages

• Sector-specific insights in cybersecurity, fintech, and enterprise software

• Cultural nuances that impact business building across borders

An Invitation to Engage

While I bring my perspective and experience to these discussions, I recognize that the greatest value comes from dialogue and shared insights. I invite you to engage with the content, share your thoughts, and suggest topics you'd like me to address.

Whether you're a founder seeking to expand internationally, an investor interested in cross-border opportunities, or simply curious about the unique innovation dynamics between Israel and the US, I hope this platform provides valuable insights for your journey.

Thank you for joining me. I look forward to building this community of forward-thinking innovators and investors together.
