Moti Margalit is the CEO and Co-Founder of SonicEdge, an Israeli startup reinventing the speaker for the first time in over a century. Instead of moving a large membrane to push air, their speakers generate ultrasound through structures the width of a human hair, delivering full-range, high-quality sound from a fraction of the size, with major applications in earphones, smart glasses, and eventually phones and cars.
Avraham sat down with Moti to discuss how the idea grew out of a conversation about hearing aids, why the company built its electronics team in Denmark, the patent strategy behind a genuinely new concept, his advice for founders just starting out and much more.

Dedi Haziza of NexTenna
Dedi Haziza is the CEO and Founder of NexTenna, an Israeli company building the antenna technology behind the next generation of satellite internet. As networks like Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon's upcoming Leo constellation race to connect the whole planet, NexTenna has developed a terminal that uses a fraction of the power and cost of existing options, and unlike closed networks, works with any satellite system out there.
Avraham sat down with Dedi to discuss how he built the core technology from the ground up, why he moved the company back to Israel after years at Google, the tradeoffs of building deep tech here, what's next for NexTenna, the future of data centers in space, tips for startup founders and much more.

Gilad Luria of Scenera
Gilad Luria is the CEO of Scenera sceneratech.com, an Israeli deep tech company solving a critical blind spot in advanced chip manufacturing. As chipmakers stack layers of silicon to pack in more power, billions of tiny connections link those layers together, and until now, there was no way to check that all of them actually work. Scenera's technology inspects every single one, catching defects that would otherwise make it all the way to a finished device.
Avraham sat down with Gilad to discuss how the idea and technology evolved to fit the right problem, the challenges of building a deep tech startup in Israel, the importance of IP strategy, his advice for founders just starting out and much more.
