Israel is known in the world as a start-up nation. There are more startups in Tel-Aviv than in the whole of Europe; more Venture Capital is invested per person in Israel then anywhere else in the world.
This series follows the entrepreneurs who will give everything to pursue their startup dreams. They sacrifice their families, their friends and their bank account, determined to keep on fighting until they’re either bankrupt or millionaires.
“Silicon Wadi” offers a fresh and exclusive (and somewhat satiric look) into the people behind the financial headlines, telling a story of dreamers and the price they are willing to pay.
