What is Firgun?
Firgun is an informal modern Hebrew term with no direct English equivalent. It means genuine, selfless joy for someone else’s success — the opposite of schadenfreude.
Every week since November 2020, Eze Vidra — founder of VC Cafe and Managing Partner at Remagine Ventures — publishes Firgun, a weekly Israeli tech newsletter celebrating founders, startups, investors, builders, launches, and momentum across the ecosystem.
What started as a small lockdown experiment has grown into a weekly reading habit for more than 7,800 subscribers on LinkedIn, including founders, VCs, operators, journalists, and people following Israeli innovation from around the world.
The newsletter is published first on LinkedIn and archived here on VC Cafe. If you care about Israeli startups, venture capital, AI, and the people building behind the headlines, Firgun is the most optimistic way to keep up.
