E96 - Nadir Izrael (Co-founder and CTO of Armis)

Nadir Izrael is the co-founder and CTO of Armis. What started as an idea between two Technion graduates became one of the biggest technology companies ever built in Israel. In 2026, Armis was acquired by ServiceNow in a deal reported at roughly $7.75 billion, making it the fourth-largest exit in Israeli history. But surprisingly, this conversation isn't about success. It's about responsibility and what entrepreneurship actually feels like once you're inside it. When does a startup become real? One of the first questions we ask Nadir is about milestones. What was the first benchmark? For him, a company becomes real when it stops being "a bunch of guys" imagining a future company. And becomes something other people are counting on. Investors. Employees. Customers. People trusting you with their money and their careers. That's when the game changes. "up until you're a real company that raised a little bit of money and starting to work like a real company... you're just a bunch of guys bunch of guys who are [I don't want to say] playing make believe but definitely you feel OKAY not to commit into it and really be at a place where now there's the accountability" And then comes the part that really stood out: "once you take on the responsibility for other people... now you're playing with other chips too" For Nadir, accountability is the thing that turns an idea into a company. The thing he didn't want to admit Before Armis, Nadir spent a year trying to build something outside cyber security. He wanted a mission. A cause. Something bigger. Then he had what he describes as a "come to Jesus moment." He asked himself what he actually wanted. And didn't love the answer. "it was actually really difficult to me to admit that it was winning" Not money. Not a higher cause. Winning. In the way an athlete wants to win. To test their limits. To compete. To see how good they can become. It wasn't the answer he expected. But it was the honest one. Later in the conversation, he expands on this idea in the context of money as a motivation for founders. While money matters - and he's not pretending otherwise - he believes the founders who make it furthest are usually driven by something deeper. The challenge. The process of building. The satisfaction of creating something that didn't exist before. Because entrepreneurship is simply too difficult if money is the only thing pulling you forward. There are easier ways to make money. Much easier. The lowest spot on the totem pole Entrepreneurship gets romanticized. Freedom. Flexibility. Being your own boss. Nadir sees it differently. "the notion of entrepreneurship is actually the lowest pole on the totem" Because eventually everything lands on you. The missed target. The bad hire. The customer issue. The mistake nobody saw coming. At some point there is nobody left to escalate to. Is this for everyone? Over the years, Nadir had multiple people tell him that they always wanted to become entrepreneurs. Then they watched his life and changed their minds. He laughs when he tells the story. But he also understands it. Because he knows what the journey demands. The pressure. The uncertainty. The responsibility. The fact that there are easier ways to make money.

E95 - Lior Lamesh (Co-Founder and CEO of GK8)

In this episode, we speak with Lior Lamesh - the founder and CEO of GK8, a cybersecurity infrastructure company. At 26, while serving in Israel’s Shin Bet, he helped break into what was considered the most secure crypto custody system in the world, and he did it in just 4 days(!). That moment started GK8. In 3 years, the company was protecting billions of dollars. It was also acquired - twice. This episode is about what happens when someone decides: “I’m going all in. Whatever it takes.” And then? actually does it. ״We didn't understand why people think it's a secure product״ He didn’t plan to build a company. A friend showed him and his now co-founder a crypto wallet that was supposed to be the most secure in the world. It didn’t make sense to them. So they bought it, tried to break it - and did. That was it. Where that “impossible is nothing” mindset comes from You can hear it immediately. He was raised this way. • A mother who didn’t accept 97 • A father who pushed competition • Years of professional football • Military units where mistakes get real At some point early on, effort became the only way he knew. Deciding to sell They were early. They were first-time founders. Things were working. Then COVID hit - and offers actually started rolling in. Lior and Shachar didn’t sell because they wanted out. They sold because they thought it would help them move faster. And as life happens..things didn’t go as planned… ..Then things broke Seven months later, the company that bought them filed for bankruptcy. There was no warning or heads up. Lior wakes up to messages and opens the news. That’s how he finds out. Now think about the position: • The company isn’t yours anymore • You don’t control the situation • But everyone still looks at you Employees. Customers.Partners. So what do you do? You do what you can control, meaning you just… keep going. The part most people don’t talk about He says this almost casually: You put EVERYTHING aside. Relationships, sleep..life. This probably says it all: “My girlfriend told me - you sleep more with your co-founder than with me.” So if you tell yourself success comes with no costs - think again. Nothing is easy. There’s always a cost. So what actually drives him? It’s not money. He’s very clear about that. It’s the feeling of hitting the goal you set, and the belief that: “If I want something enough, and are willing to pay the price - it will happen.” That belief shows up everywhere in his story. Where he is today No. He’s not slowing down. But something did shift. He is starting to be aware of the cost. Not sleeping enough, stress catching up So he’s trying - slowly - to build boundaries Even small things like: Staying one extra day when he travels, to actually see the place That says a lot. Why this conversation stays with you Because it’s uncomfortable. There’s no clean lesson here. No “do this and you’ll succeed.” There’s a real tension: The thing that makes you exceptional is also the thing that takes from you There’s no clear line for when it becomes too much. It’s in your hands.

E94 - Eli Goodman (Co-founder & CEO of Datos)

In this episode, we speak with Eli Goodman, co-founder and CEO of Datos, a clickstream intelligence company built for institutional and enterprise markets and acquired by Semrush. After more than two decades across the data ecosystem - including senior roles at Comscore and close work with Gartner - Eli founded Datos in 2020 with a clear focus on trustworthy, high-integrity data in a space shaped by regulation, risk, and long-term dependency. This is a conversation about responsibility, judgment earned over time, and building something that is meant to last. What We Dig Into: The Weight of Founding Eli describes entrepreneurship as constant vigilance. “It’s not that you’re sleeping three hours a night. It’s that you always have one eye open.” Founding, for him, is not about freedom. It is about responsibility. “If you’re not figuring it out, it’s not getting done.” People trust you with their livelihoods. If you care, that weight stays with you. Managing People vs Being Responsible for Survival Eli draws a clear distinction between leadership inside an established company and founding something from zero. “Every day you wake up and the first thing you think is: when are we out of money?” In a startup: • There is no institution behind you • No inherited structure • No one else to catch what you drop The company exists only if you keep it alive. “Milk Gate” - When Small Things Reveal Bigger Realities One of the most memorable moments in the episode comes from what Eli jokingly refers to as “Milk Gate”. Early in his career, he describes a company-wide meeting where leadership reprimanded the entire office for drinking too much free milk - milk that was meant for coffee, not cereal. “It didn’t really make sense why the general manager had to sit everyone down about milk.” At the time, it felt irrational. Easy to take personally. In hindsight, it became clear what it really signaled. The company was nearing a sale. Costs were under scrutiny. Every dollar suddenly mattered. “When something feels out of place, it usually is.” The lesson is not about milk. It is about learning to read context instead of ego. Small, insignificant-seeming moments often: • Reflect pressures leadership is not articulating • Signal structural changes before they are announced • Only make sense once you zoom out Learning Not to Personalize the Wrong Things Eli connects Milk Gate to another early-career moment - pitching an idea that leadership dismissed. At the time, it felt like rejection. Later, he understood it as disinvestment. The takeaway: • Not every “no” is about you • Sometimes it is about timing, incentives, or exit dynamics • Experience teaches you what to internalize and what to observe Why This Episode Matters This episode removes mythology from entrepreneurship. It replaces bravado with responsibility and hype with durability. It is especially relevant for founders building infrastructure, data, or long-term platforms. You’ll Walk Away With: • A grounded view of founder responsibility • A lens for interpreting small but meaningful business signals • Clarity on funding alignment and incentives • A practical people-management framework • A reminder that sales still start with humans • A long-term view of trust as strategy Measured. Honest. Earned over time. Enjoy your listen
