In this episode, we speak with Lior Segal, Co-founder and Managing Partner at Horizon Capital Horizon Capital is an Israeli venture capital fund backing founders at the Pre-Seed and Seed stages. It's sector-agnostic by design, built to support early-stage startups wherever opportunity strikes. Lior's path to venture wasn't linear. Before launching the fund, he led Data Matching Solutions as CEO until its acquisition by SafeCharge. He stayed on as VP of Gaming Innovation and later helped shape global payment strategies at Nasdaq-listed TSG. His operator-first lens gives him a practical, grounded perspective that shapes how he evaluates and supports startups. Together with his co-founder - Yani Jacobi, who also happens to be his childhood friend - he built Horizon Capital from the ground up, without a traditional investing background. And while their portfolio includes headline names like Verbit, OwnBackup, and Blue Ribbon, this conversation doesn't focus on the wins. It focuses on the how. “We are trying to master uncertainty.” In this conversation, we dive into what it really takes to run a VC fund like a startup, the importance of founder dynamics, and the discipline required to stay focused in a market defined by noise. We explore: Self-fulfillment and leaving law behind to build in tech. Lior began his career as a lawyer but quickly realized it wasn't the right path. He shifted into the tech and fintech world, trading legal frameworks for hands-on company building. What it means to build a venture fund from scratch. Lior and his partner launched Horizon without prior investing experience - treating it as a startup in its own right, complete with its own pitch process, learning curve, and pressure to prove value fast. How friendship can work in business - if boundaries are clear. They set ground rules from day one: friendship comes first, business second. Professional disagreements are dealt with directly, and personal trust stays intact. The dynamic between co-founders - and what Horizon pays close attention to From subtle looks in meetings to how roles are divided, Horizon places a strong emphasis on how startup founders interact, not just the business model. Why focus matters more than vision at the early stage. Lior urges founders to avoid distractions, skip the five-year plans, and build a short, focused path to the next funding round. “it's very nice to think you know, 5 or 10 years ahead, but in this world, when everything can blow up one morning, you can't really do it. You need to have a great vision, but you need to be very focused." The challenge of monetizing AI products in a crowded market. AI may be everywhere, but few founders know how to turn it into revenue. Lior breaks down the importance of testing pricing early and identifying real user value. The current noise in the AI space - and how to think through it. With so many startups riding the AI wave, it's harder than ever to stand out. Horizon looks for teams that go beyond tech wrappers and hype, and build something defensible. How staying calm is a strategic advantage. In a market that shifts by the day, Lior shares how he makes decisions without panicking - staying anchored in strategy, even when conditions are unpredictable. If you're looking for practical insights on founder dynamics, business focus, and building in uncertain times - this one's for you. Tune in, take notes, and share it with someone who's building something bold.

In our final segment of our Legalweek series, Laura and Kevin hit the floor to chat with two folks from Verbit - Matan Barak, Head of Legal Products and JP Son, Chief Legal Officer, for an insightful dive into the evolution of AI in legal transcription and the broader implications for the industry.  We first hear their origin story, being founded with the mission to make transcription more efficient, accessible, and intelligent. They share how the company emerged from the need for faster, more accurate transcription services, especially in high-stakes environments like the legal world. As the conversation turns toward AI, we learn how machine learning is transforming transcription, enhancing turnaround times, enabling real-time insights, and supporting legal professionals with features like inconsistency detection, intelligent search, and summarization through Verbit's Legal Visor.  But with great power comes great responsibility. they address growing concerns around deepfakes and misinformation, explaining how Verbit ensures the authenticity and accuracy of its AI-assisted transcriptions with rigorous quality checks and compliance protocols.  Matan sheds light on how Verbit's models are trained to understand regional dialects and legal-specific jargon, ensuring that nuance is never lost, even in complex, technical discussions. The pair also tackle the hot topic: Will AI replace human court reporters? This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the intersection of legal tech, AI, and the future of court reporting.  Matan Barak is the Head of Legal Products at Verbit, with over a decade of experience leading AI-driven solutions to market. He played a key role in conceptualizing and developing Verbit Legal Visor, a real-time intelligence platform for litigators that enhances legal professionals' efficiency with AI-powered insights, including inconsistency detection, intelligent search, and summaries to help secure better case outcomes.JP Son has served as Verbit's Chief Legal Officer since December 2021, with responsibility for the company's global legal affairs, including in the areas of regulatory compliance, privacy, intellectual property, commercial, M&A, governance and employment. Previously, Son was Vice President, Legal at Vonage Holdings Corp. (VG), where he was responsible for global regulatory, privacy and intellectual property matters. He also served as lead counsel for Vonage's API Platform group. Prior to Vonage, Son was in private practice at a global law firm based in New York. Son received his undergraduate degree in computer science from Cornell University and his J.D. from Columbia Law School.Verbit is a verbal intelligence platform leveraged by 3,000+ businesses and institutions. Our suite of voice AI solutions are used to capture everyday exchanges, better understand the information shared and apply these insights in daily work. Verbit was founded in 2017 in Tel Aviv on the insight that attorneys were spending too much time and money on inaccurate transcripts. The team then uncovered how many more industries could benefit from access to accurate transcripts. By combining automatic speech recognition technology (ASR) with the expert human transcribers, Verbit has transformed a $30B transcription industry. The company has grown into one of the world's largest transcription and closed captioning providers with offices in the US, Canada, UK, and Israel.

The role of the marketer is changing. Scott Galloway, aka Prof G, says that to be successful today, marketers have to act as “coaches, advisors and strategists” to their company.That's what we're talking about in today's episode with the help of our special guest, VP of Marketing & Corporate Strategy at Verbit, Michael Rosman.Together, we talk about finding the right channel, being bold, and avoiding clickbait.About our guest, Michael RosmanMichael Rosman is VP of Marketing & Corporate Strategy at Verbit, having joined the company in April 2022. He has extensive work experience in Corporate strategy and Marketing. Prior to this, he worked at Amdocs, where he held various roles including Customer Business Executive, Director of Corporate Strategy, and Manager of Corporate Strategy from May 2016 to April 2022.Before joining Amdocs, Michael worked at Degania Medical as the Head of Strategy, Business Development & Innovation from May 2015 to May 2016. Michael also has experience at Biometrix, where he served as the Head of Strategic Planning and subsequently as the Interim COO from November 2011 to May 2015.Michael started his career at Tefen Management Consulting in July 2007, where he worked as a Senior Consultant for over four years.

Later, between 2011 and 2012, he pursued an Executive Master of Business Administration (EMBA) from The Hebrew University of Jerusalem.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Scott Galloway:Find the right channel. Test different channels to see which one your content achieves the best reach and resonance on. People on LinkedIn might engage with your content way more than on your blog. Use that to your advantage by creating more content gauged for your LinkedIn audience. Michael says, “Finding the right channel is a big takeaway for me. So I know everybody has the standard channels of paid ads and events and SEO and whatever is, but find a channel that maximizes your impact. Figure out your puzzle. Figure out who you are and something that might be unique [to you]. Maybe it's a channel that doesn't exist for anybody else.”Be bold. Know what you stand for and express it clearly and without fear of losing your audience. Michael says, “Go all in on something. [Scott Galloway] has so much conviction and so much belief in doing what he does, he can really go all out.” When you express your message authentically and with clarity, your content will resonate with your intended audience.Avoid clickbait. Make sure the meat of your content is valuable to your audience. Don't just give it all away in the title. Michael says, ”So many times, people have a hot take-y headline to lure you, to get you in, but then there's nothing else. All of the content that you wanted to consume is in the title and everything else is meaningless. [But] Whenever I tune in [to one of Scott Galloway's podcasts], I always feel like it was worth my time. I came in, I came for value, and it consistently delivers value. It's always interesting. There's always substance behind the title.”Quotes*”I really think about niching down, and about the shorts, shows and moonshots sort of positioning. You want to create stuff that your people can tap into for a minute or two. You want to create stuff that they can subscribe to and get like an hour a week. And then you want stuff that's definitive, could be viral and bingeworthy. If you have 15 different personas that you're selling to, if you could create a single bingeable asset for those 15 personas, that's far more valuable than creating 150 pieces of content for those 15 things.” - Ian Faison*”The world changes every minute. What was published a week ago is now no longer potentially relevant. So it's your job as a brand to reach forward into the future and say, ‘I think that based on what we know, what we're saying on our proprietary information and what our customers are saying, I think that this is where the world is going.” -  Ian FaisonTime Stamps[0:55] Meet Michael Rosman, VP of Marketing & Corporate Strategy at Verbit.ai[2:19] Verbit's Marketing and Customer Insights[7:29] Scott Galloway's Marketing Philosophy[10:42] The Journey and Impact of Scott Galloway[19:31] The Power of Serialized Content[24:52] Marketing Takeaways from Prof G[29:42] The Value of Definitive Works in Content[31:07] Challenges in Content Creation for Multiple Personas[32:04] The Importance of Niching Down and Binge-Worthy Content[39:39] Balancing Quality, Speed, and Cost in Video Production[42:16] The Future of AI in Content Creation[45:48] Verbit's Content StrategyLinksConnect with Michael on LinkedinLearn more about Verbit.aiAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

It's easy to typecast what a successful entrepreneur should be like: someone growing up awash in technology, attending a prestigious university to study in that area, and then building a unicorn. But that's not how it always works. In fact, it may not be how it often works. There's a different sort of entrepreneurial narrative. In this story, it's about a person who has had a winding path to business success. But along that journey, this character saw a problem, came up with a solution, and then had the ideal balance of perseverance and business sense to create a successful company over a period of time. Tom Livne, the CEO and Founder of Verbit, started his career in the Special Forces, which he credits for teaching him resiliency. He then became an attorney and came to the conclusion that the transcription industry needed disruption. At the time, the technologies necessary to disrupt the industry, A.I. and the cloud, were not quite ready. He continued on his journey earning an MBA and even founding a security company. Then when the business-stars aligned, alongside the right technology, he created Verbit to focus on the transcription issue he was passionate about. His spirit of resilience helped him to develop Verbit from a bootstrap company to one with major investment and lots of room to grow. On this episode of Future of Tech, Tom shares his unique entrepreneurial story and the values that have led to his success. Enjoy this episode!   Main Takeaways: The Importance of Resiliency and Passion: According to Livne, resilience is an essential quality for an entrepreneur. Though he first learned this value in the military, it has served him well throughout his entrepreneurial career. Additionally, he points to passion as another key ingredient for an entrepreneur and believes having it helps to see a person through when difficulties arise. A.I. and the Human Touch: In part due to regulations that require 100% accuracy, Livne believes that the human touch will always be required to supplement A.I. Verbit utilizes A.I. along with freelancers to transcribe efficiently and accurately. Livne shares how hiring freelancers, and learning how their experience working with Verbit has empowered their lives, is very satisfying.  Customization is Key: Though there are large tech companies with speech recognition tools, Livne contends that Verbit has a particular corner of the market. He makes the point that these companies use A.I. but do not have the human component to help them achieve the high level of accuracy required by regulations. Furthermore, he explains how Verbit is able to customize transcriptions as required by each of its customers given the unique needs in their different industries. Customer Consolidation: Verbit has undertaken a strategy to take over other more traditional transcription companies to bring in their customers. He describes the communication between Verbit and these companies in an effort to bring them on board. He also shares that this strategy has enabled investors to have a clear sense of Verbit's path for growth.   Key Quotes:   [00:31] “So, I've been in the Special Forces of the paratrooper. [and am] still doing the reserve. And I think as an entrepreneur, one of the most important thing is resilience. So I really think that the army service help with that.”    [14:54] “Instead of doing everything manually, we said, ‘Okay, let's do most of it by technology.' And then the last mile editing the technology, we know that it's not able to get it, we will put the human [in] and kind of give them the tools to make their job more efficient.”    [25:02] “So as long as our customer base is growing, it means we'll need to have more freelancer. It means we're creating more jobs from people to work from home. And we have a lot of our freelancers from third world countries, and we are getting emails, ‘because of Verbit we have the ability to feed our family [and] take care [of] our kids.' Once you see that you say, ‘Wow, because of my hard work, I'm creating a lot of jobs for more people around the globe.' So, it's another great mission to be part of.”    [35:03] Today, in the venture world, there's what they call magic numbers. So, how much you invest in sales and marketing, [and] how much new revenue it's bringing. They want to see [a] ratio of one-to-one. And then we really saw that those manual transcription companies they're flat. They're not growing. And they have much lower gross margin because they do it all manually. So we come [up] with this thesis that we can acquire their book of business and then migrate their customers to our platform and to make the whole process much more efficient and literally to grow this way.”    [37:50] “So first of all, and foremost, you need to do something you're passionate about, right? So, for me, the founder-market fit was as a frustrated customer. This is how I actually thought about this problem…When I'm trying to be more generic, I would say, look for problem that have high friction and low efficiency where you think that the technology come and shift it around.” 

Our guest in this 35th interview with a unicorn start-up leader is Verbit CEO and founder Tom Livne.  The Verbit Company serves as an essential partner to 2,000+ businesses and institutions. Verbit's vertical-built voice AI transcription solution that provides its partners with the tools they need to offer engaging and equitable experiences that not only meet accessibility guidelines, but make verbal information searchable and actionable.   Tom started his career as a lawyer, so he was directly facing the transcription problem in his profession. Eventually, his eagerness to solve the problem came from being a frustrated customer, so he imagined there was a better way of doing things. In just a few years since its founding in 2017, Verbit has grown into a unicorn company with a $2B valuation and a global presence. Verbit employs the largest professional captioner workforce in the world and has emerged as the leader in the $30B transcription industry.  In this episode, Tom explains how Verbit, which has a workforce of 600 employees and +35,000 freelancers across the globe, approaches communications and engagement. According to Tom, one of the most important lessons he has learnt over the last five years is you cannot build a company alone: it's all about the people. He says, “always hire people that you feel you could work for them too.”  Two of the most critical areas that Verbit's culture focuses on are creating more jobs for people to work from home and accessibility. Tom is excited about the opportunity that his business generates for people with disabilities and, curiously, that's where his company name comes from too. He thought about the process of looking for verbal information, just as a transcription is, and “just Verb-it!” came to him. And the rest is history, he says.   Finally, Tom shares a piece of communications advice for those who want to succeed in business: patience is key. When he was younger, he states, he didn't have as much patience, and he believes this ability to choose balance over impulsiveness in communications is one of the key factors that affect the performance of the business. Tom also explains that especially when working remotely, “you need to make sure you're investing in tools, and you know how to communicate as a professional.”  The interview, as usual, was co-hosted with Russell Goldsmith of the csuite podcast.  We have distilled the most valuable, actionable insights from our first 15 interviews with leaders of unicorn companies and bottled them in our book ‘Growing without borders: The unicorn CEO guide to communication and culture'.

One of the hardest challenges of any AI is to be able to understand natural language. The first time you spoke at Siri or Alexa, you probably gasped at how amazing it was that the machine could understand you, and almost respond with clarity. Or I'm sure you've had the experience of watching a live chat online and laughed at the subtitles. Seriously thought have you ever considered how hard it is for an AI to understand the various languages we have, not to mention accents? In this podcast I had a chat with the CRO and GM at AI Transcription leader Verbit, Ariel Utnik. We discussed this various challenge, and how through a combination of AI and Human Intelligence (HI) we can, in real-time deliver 99.9% accuracy on transcription. There were a number of interesting outtakes; Why transcription is so important, especially for those that are hard of hearing. How transcription might be weaved into live events, how it's already included in live feeds, and why we are likely to see more of it. How challenging and yet how important it is, to ensure accuracy in transcription.How the AI learns over time, with the help of human intelligence.

He works for Verbit.ai and lives in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Chuck and Victor talk about his background, how Victor got into Ruby, and his latest projects. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:13 – Chuck: Episode 367 – check it out! 1:37 – Background? 1:42 – Living in Ukraine. 2:08 – Chuck: How did you get into programming? 2:18 – Victor: I broke my leg and very bored. In ‘85-‘86 and I was gaming. Since then I got into programming and have been in it for 20 years. 3:20 – Chuck: Prince of Persia. 3:26 – Chuck: What made you stick with programming? 3:34 – Victor: I think it was magically and exotic. It still fascinates me. 4:03 – Chuck: How did you get into Ruby? 4:15 – Victor: There are great several programming attitudes – but I belong to the one that just write texts that expose the meanings. I like the text. I am a poet. When I write in Ruby (not like poetry), I write texts and that is what I’m thinking about. I loved C-Plus, Plus in the early 2000’s. For me it wasn’t fully expressive enough. I tried other things and searched other options. I met Ruby and it was love at the first sight. 7:09 – Chuck: What have you done with Ruby that you are proud of? 7:18 – Victor: The project takes my time is data integrated into itself: countries, planets, famous paintings, and so on. It’s really cool. 9:49 – Chuck: Where can you find this project? 9:54: Victor – GitHub and some conferences. 10:27 – Chuck: You mentioned being in a company that does translation? 10:33 – Victor: Yes. It is written in Python. 11:11 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 11:18 – Victor: Yes, this project and last year I got into development of Ruby itself. I wasn’t that proficient. I am not contributing to the language itself but creating documentation (program language reference) and new features of Ruby. 12:40 – Chuck: What is the Ruby community like in Ukraine? 12:46 – Victor: It is pretty large. Don’t know if it is large to U.S. standards. Meetups happens every once to twice a month in my city. Recent years it has gotten smaller, because I don’t know if they are going to the new “hip” technology. 14:16 – Chuck: We’d have Meetups like 30-40-50 people and now it’s only 10-20. Different companies are moving to different things that they need. 14:43 – Victor: In Ukraine I think a lot of people are doing a lot of opensource. I think it will still grow to some extent. 15:29 – Chuck: It’s not that Ruby is dying per se. Ruby hit a stride when web was hot. Now we are seeing growth in AI or IOT. For example people are reaching to Python for the mathematics and scientific side to it. 16:17 – Victor adds in his comments. Victor: I had some high hopes for Rails. 18:14 – Chuck comments.

Panel: Charles Max Wood Guest: Victor Shepelev This week on My Ruby Story, Charles talks with Victor Shepelev who is a Ruby programmer and also a poet. He works for Verbit.ai and lives in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Chuck and Victor talk about his background, how Victor got into Ruby, and his latest projects. In particular, we dive pretty deep on: 1:13 – Chuck: Episode 367 – check it out! 1:37 – Background? 1:42 – Living in Ukraine. 2:08 – Chuck: How did you get into programming? 2:18 – Victor: I broke my leg and very bored. In ‘85-‘86 and I was gaming. Since then I got into programming and have been in it for 20 years. 3:20 – Chuck: Prince of Persia. 3:26 – Chuck: What made you stick with programming? 3:34 – Victor: I think it was magically and exotic. It still fascinates me. 4:03 – Chuck: How did you get into Ruby? 4:15 – Victor: There are great several programming attitudes – but I belong to the one that just write texts that expose the meanings. I like the text. I am a poet. When I write in Ruby (not like poetry), I write texts and that is what I’m thinking about. I loved C-Plus, Plus in the early 2000’s. For me it wasn’t fully expressive enough. I tried other things and searched other options. I met Ruby and it was love at the first sight. 7:09 – Chuck: What have you done with Ruby that you are proud of? 7:18 – Victor: The project takes my time is data integrated into itself: countries, planets, famous paintings, and so on. It’s really cool. 9:49 – Chuck: Where can you find this project? 9:54: Victor – GitHub and some conferences. 10:27 – Chuck: You mentioned being in a company that does translation? 10:33 – Victor: Yes. It is written in Python. 11:11 – Chuck: What are you working on now? 11:18 – Victor: Yes, this project and last year I got into development of Ruby itself. I wasn’t that proficient. I am not contributing to the language itself but creating documentation (program language reference) and new features of Ruby. 12:40 – Chuck: What is the Ruby community like in Ukraine? 12:46 – Victor: It is pretty large. Don’t know if it is large to U.S. standards. Meetups happens every once to twice a month in my city. Recent years it has gotten smaller, because I don’t know if they are going to the new “hip” technology. 14:16 – Chuck: We’d have Meetups like 30-40-50 people and now it’s only 10-20. Different companies are moving to different things that they need. 14:43 – Victor: In Ukraine I think a lot of people are doing a lot of opensource. I think it will still grow to some extent. 15:29 – Chuck: It’s not that Ruby is dying per se. Ruby hit a stride when web was hot. Now we are seeing growth in AI or IOT. For example people are reaching to Python for the mathematics and scientific side to it. 16:17 – Victor adds in his comments. Victor: I had some high hopes for Rails. 18:14 – Chuck comments. Chuck: It would be interesting to see bindings. See these other options come forward. 18:39 – Victor. 19:10 – Chuck: Picks! 19:14 – Advertisement. Links: Ruby Elixir Episode 367 – check it out!

נאומו של נשיא ונצואלה, ניקולס מדורו, נקטע השבוע. תוך רגע - מאות חיילים שעמדו לפני כן בסדר מופתי - נסים לכל עבר, פצועים, פיצוצים ורעש. זה היה ניסיון התנקשות שלא צלח. ניסיון ההתנקשות הזה לא התבצע באמצעות ירי או חגורת נפץ. הוא התבצע באמצעות רחפן. כן - אותו הרחפן שפעם חשבתם עליו בתור כלי לצילומים מגניבים לסרטים ולאינסטגרם, מכאן המשכנו לשימוש במשלוח חבילות ובתעשייה... אותו הרחפן גם יכול להוות איום ממשי. למעשה, כבר בסוף 2017 המדינה החלה להיערך לאיום הרחפנים המתהווה במטרה להקדים תרופה למכה, ורואה בהם את האיום הבא. נדבר על הנושא עם יונתן צור, מנכ"ל Regulus Cyber. מי הם מנהלי המשרד של המאה ה-21 ומדוע זה תפקיד כל כך משמעותי? תהיה איתנו בתוכנית גם רעות שכטר, ששואפת להגדיר מחדש את התפקיד של מנהלי ומנהלות המשרד, תפקיד שהפך להיות קריטי ומשמעותי יותר מאי פעם. איך מבצעים Offshore כמו שצריך? ביצוע מיקור חוץ ב - Offshore (עבודה עם מתכנתים מעבר לים) נשמע מאוד אטרקטיבי: בעיקר בעקבות דרישות שכר גבוהות בארץ והקלות בה ניתן כיום לתקשר עם כל אחד. אבל ישנם דברים רבים שכדאי לשים לב אליהם כמו מתי זה מתאים, איך מגייסים, איך מתמודדים עם פערי תרבות ושפה ועוד. יגיע אלינו דניאל גלמן כדי לשפוך אור על הנושא. הייטק בפקקים, האנשים מאחורי ההייטק הישראלי, תכנית האקטואליה של ההייטק. בשיתוף פעולה עם קהילת היזמים Start-up Stadium ועם עמוד הפייסבוק של כלכליסט. השבוע על הפודיום: יונתן צור, מנכ"ל ומייסד שותף רגולוס רעות שכטר מנכ"לית ומייסדת, טורבו פור ביז דניאל גלמן think future technologies חדשות השבוע עם קרין רביב סטארט-אפ בפקקים עם תום ליבנה מנכ"ל ומייסד Verbit.ai הייטק ופרשת השבוע פרשת "ראה" עם אבריימי וינגוט מנהל אקסלרטור קמאטק מנחים - אדר חי, נתן לייבזון ושקד דמבו מפיקים - אורטל הבר,נתן לייבזון, קרין רביב ואדר חי וידאו ועריכת סרטונים לדיגיטל- ניצן גל ושקד דמבו ע. מוזיקלית ותמיכה טכנית - אורי טולידאנו הביאה לשידור - קרין רביב

The best data on the positions of American Jews on the peace process show that they are more on the "right" side of the political spectrum than is often claimed regarding such issues as the two-state solution, basic Arab goals, the future status of Jerusalem, and the settlements, and this pattern has been consistent over the last decade. Moreover, the more attached American Jews feel to Israel and the more importance they attribute to their Jewishness, the more likely they are to take positions on the right. Mervin F. Verbit, a Fellow of the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs, has a Ph.D. from Columbia University. He is Professor and Chair of Sociology at Touro College and Professor Emeritus at Brooklyn College of The City University of New York.
