How hard is it for someone to win the lottery? It can't be too hard. Every week several people do it, right? Well, while having someone winning the lottery isn't hard, it's really hard to be the one that buys the winning ticket.
When I went to university I had a lot of choices to select from. The Israeli university enrollment system at the time was composed of two parts: The final high school grade (which was reasonably ok in my case) and a one-time test, similar to the American GMAT, where I scored very high. So I had a good chance to be accepted to most of the top universities and majors.
Success probably has a formula, but we don't know what the formula is. We may never find it during our lifetime. But here is what we do know about this formula: it is about the actions (and circumstances) and not about people or personalities.
Running a startup is hard, and full of uncertainties. It often feels like trying to cross a mine field – not knowing what the next step should be and whether taking that next step will cause everything to blow up.
If you ever tried to learn a foreign language, you may have noticed this: the best tips on how to remember complicated grammar, vocabulary or idioms come not from the local speakers and not even from expert language teachers; the best tips comes from non-native speakers like you, who went through the same process of trying to 'hack' that new foreign language and often came up with shortcuts or helpful tips on making the learning process quicker.
Korean entrepreneurs hear a lot about the Hebrew word “Chutzpah”. But this time I want to mention a different word that may be less famous, but is just as good for describing the Israeli entrepreneur characteristics: “Takhles”.
The dictionary meaning of “Takhles” can be best described as 'to get to the point'. A famous Israeli general by the name of Moshe Dayan used to start large meetings by telling the speaker: “start from the end”. In other words: don't give me the background, just jump directly to the point. This is one very good description of “Takhles”.
We are proud to be the first startup program in Korea that provides Israeli mentorship to our startups.
