The report of the first Israeli Cobrastrike — "Start-Up Nation"

Yesterday, on April 29 in tel Aviv was the first Israeli Haberstich. Yes, it happened! We climbed out of the bushes, basements and server rooms, and tried to get acquainted with each other. It was initially planned that the event will be held in Holon Institute of Technology, but in the process of organization, it was decided to move the meeting to a Co-Working office TECHLOFT what is in the heart of tel Aviv. People started to arrive at 19:00. Since most saw each other for the first time, before the reports were allocated half an hour for meeting and networking.

Despite the fact that on Habre about their desire to participate in the event stated in the order of 50 users, the meeting brought together more than 100 people. Guests were kindly provided by "pogryzite" and drinks, but in less than 20 minutes, not greedy, very generous reader Habra — Cyril (shtonibudtakoe) decided to treat all who come with beer and other alcoholic drinks. by the Way, despite his generosity Cyril still can't write on habré, therefore, if someone of you has a free invite and wants to honor him, do a good deed — give an invite to person.

The overall theme of the meeting was the creation of start-UPS. In total there were four of the report:
1. David Paluy aka dpaluy, shared information about how to gain the attention from business angels and VC. What needs to get done in 2 minutes of the meeting that are given to budding entrepreneurs. How can you prepare for this more thoroughly and who can help. The presentation of the author can be found here.

2. Dudi Peles had a great report on the topic "Gamification — The Power of Gameful Design". Of course, this was the most interesting session on escalating the issue. Doody said about how using gamification can turn a boring and tedious process entertaining and fun. Cited as example the case of Waze, Forsquare and BMW. Presented their own case studies and showed how for a short time in one of the specials.schools have turned a boring course on programming in one of the favorite items among students.

It was stated, on what conditions izraelskiej start-UPS can receive grants from the booming Russian HighTech-greenhouse. The details can be found in his presentations or the official Israel-SK.

A small surprise was that all presenters were session in Hebrew, not Russian, as most expected. But I feel that most of it is not prevented.
