logo_themarkerTheMarker, Israel’s prominent business magazine and Haaretz, one of Israel’s largest newspapers, featured VC Cafe in a spread on “The Blogs That Every Israeli Startup Should Know“.

Guy Grimland, editor of TheMarker IT, interviewed me a couple weeks ago and at the outset of the interview asked me “why should startups approach VC Cafe rather than traditional media?” It was early in the morning, but the question was easy for me to answer. I believe that blogs represent another angle of the media, but they’re not here to kill the traditional printed word. I told Guy what Israeli startups already know: I don’t need a scoop as the pre requisite of an interview with a company that has a cool story or product. Blogs simply provide additional exposure, especially in the early stages of the startup’s life cycle.

Though the news on Israeli venture capital and startups is constant, I decided a long time ago that real lessons and takeaways don’t lay behind the press releases and the official announcements. The lessons are in the stories that entrepreneurs share, in the companies’ visions, in the business model creativity, the bootstrapping abilities and the dedication and skill of the management teams. That’s why I like the interview format so much.

Below are some of the stats featured in TheMarker IT article:
