The Spiro CircleCybersecurity's Hidden Human Problem - #0056, Guy TeverovskyThose who follow my show know that I speak to many cybersecurity founders. While the explosion of AI has certainly made the sector a fascinating place for technical discussions, there are also many areas where we can explore the human side of cybersecurity.Take security operations centers (SOCs), for example. These SOCs operate within large organizations that rely on dozens of monitoring tools to detect suspicious activity across networks, devices, and identity systems. Each system generates alerts when something unusual occurs.In theory, those alerts help security teams identify attacks early. But in...

The Spiro CircleWhy the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange Is Rising During War - #0055, Ezra Gardner & Travis VapThe airports may be closed, but that isn’t stopping the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange (TASE) from soaring. As Israel navigates renewed conflict with Iran, the country’s stock exchange did something surprising. Instead of tanking, it did the opposite. The TA-125 Index climbed to record highs of around 4,200 points, which represents a 66% increase compared to this time last year. At the same time, the Israeli shekel strengthened against the U.S. dollar. That isn’t to say the conflict hasn’t caused disruption and anxiety across the country, but it does demonstrate that there is confi...

The Spiro Circle"Keep It Platonic": Why Founders Shouldn’t Date Their Product - #0053, Eylam MilnerWhen Argon Security was acquired by Aqua Security in 2021, Eylam Milner experienced a different kind of startup shock. Not the chaos of building a company, but the sudden absence of it.For years, he had operated on his own time. As the co-founder, decisions were immediate, and progress was measured in days, not quarters. But once moving into part of a larger company, movement required consensus.“We had to do some mind-shifting,” he told me. “For example, large companies don’t move like startup companies, and employees cannot move things like founders can. So I had to f...

The Spiro CircleHow Military Thinking Is Reshaping AI Startups - #0052, Ido GeffenAI is forcing companies into environments where they are no longer competing against rivals, but with adversaries. In cybersecurity, where attackers adapt in real time, the competitive advantage for defenders is no longer just about efficiency, but in how companies learning and revise their assumptions. Instead of optimizing for speed alone, some of the biggest AI security companies are being built around principles closer to IDF intelligence operations that include constant simulation, adversarial thinking, after-action reviews, and learning under uncertainty.To better understand this, I spoke to Ido Geffen, Co-Founder and CEO at Novee Security...

The Spiro CircleIt's Time to Stop Asking if AI Will Replace Creators - #0051, Victor VarnadoI spend a lot of my time talking to investors and entrepreneurs about AI.

The Spiro Circle"Democracy is in Limbo": Can Voting Be Trusted Again? - #0049, Shai BargilFor the past decade, election debates in the United States and some European countries have revolved around access, accountability, and security.The discussion has become deeply politicized, especially since the 2000 American election. One side pushes expanded mail-in and remote voting, whereas others push for voter-identification laws and stricter eligibility checks. In the USA, moves are being made to introduce the SAVE America Act, which would ensure identification for voting. But the voter-ID debate is solving identity, not legitimacy — and a new industry is emerging to solve the second problem.This week, I spoke to...

The Spiro CircleIsrael Can Win the AI Boom - #0048, Amir FishelovMuch of the global conversation around artificial intelligence focuses on models, interfaces, and applications. But Amir Fishelov, managing partner at Square One Labs and, before that, co-founder of SolarEdge, believes that narrative is incomplete. What’s more, it is potentially misleading about the current state of high tech, especially in Israel. “It doesn’t matter if Google will win the race or OpenAI,” Fishelov says. “They all need the same infrastructure.”I spoke to Fishelov about Square One Labs, a venture creation and investment platform that helps founders build transformative tech companies from the earliest stages.

The Spiro CircleAI Didn’t Break the Cloud. It Revealed What Was Already Broken - #0047, Roi RavhonFor years, cloud computing quietly rewired how companies build products, scale infrastructure, and manage costs. And the widespread sudden adoption of AI has accelerated it. In doing so, it exposed a far more dangerous problem than rising bills: how little most enterprises actually understand about what they’re spending and why.This week, I spoke to a company that understands how the financial stakes have changed. “We’re spending all that money on something that we’re not really sure what the ROI is,” Roi Ravhon, Co-founder and CEO of cloud cost management platform Finout, told me.

The Spiro CircleThe Art of Being a "Disciplined Generalist" in Investing - #0046, Brian SackFor much of the past decade, venture capital has been moving in one direction: specialization. Funds are starting to brand themselves as ‘cyber-only’, ‘fintech-only’, or ‘defensetech-only’, each promising deeper expertise and sharper focus.But in Israel’s startup ecosystem, a counter-trend is growing that favors pattern recognition and intellectual flexibility over narrow vertical obsession. To understand this concept better, I spoke with Brian Sack, a partner at TLV Partners, an Israel-based early-stage venture capital firm.TLV Partners was founded in 2015 and specializes in early-stage investments, particularly in AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, developer tools, and cloud-native systems, as well as ver...

Founders are rewarded for vision and lauded as dreamers. They pitch an idea, raise a Seed round, build their first product, and iterate.As Shay Grinfeld, a General Partner at Greenfield Partners, said, companies repeat this loop “20 or 30 times” until they land on the one product when the penny drops. “‘They said ‘You know what, actually hits a nerve’,” he told me.

The Spiro CircleWhy Software Is Moving Beyond “Move Fast and Break Things” - #0042, Ben BernsteinIn the early years of tech innovation, software development was driven by a simple cultural assumption that was born in Silicon Valley: that speed equals progress. Entrepreneurs, founders, and developers were encouraged to move fast, experiment freely, and ship continuously. Restraint, social consequences, or legality were often treated as obstacles to overcome or avoid; necessary evils at best, innovation killers at worst.My latest conversation showed me how that era is coming to its end, and that a more conservative movement is growing from the ashes of the Wild Wild West of progress that saw...

The Spiro CircleHow incentives really work: Getting what we want - #0014, Uri GneezyWe all have incentives. I have an incentive to produce this podcast well enough so that I attract more readers and listeners, and hopefully, you have an incentive to tune into new episodes with a goal to learn something or get enjoyment from it. I also carry personal incentives, such as being a good father, husband, brother, son, colleague, and member of my community. Some incentives are more cynical. Money or fame often drives people to big things, but not without risk or without affecting their ego, health, or safety. Reward and punishment...

The Spiro CircleWhat UK media gets wrong about climate reporting - #0013, Josh WheelerToday, I want to share a conversation with Josh Wheeler, founder of Be Broadcast, about the state of UK broadcast media and, notably, how it covers certain topics.

Sound PropositionsEpisode 16: FREEDOM TO DESTROY - with Esther B.Esther Bourdages is an art critic, radio journalist, independent curator, and musician based in Montréal. She is an improviser of extraordinary sensitivity, bringing a playfulness to her tactile manipulation of vinyl records, sometimes outright mishandling them. This freedom to destroy is indicative of a resistance to structure and formalism, but Esther’s work can’t be easily dismissed as some sort of exercise in catharsis. Instead her approach to live improvisation is raw and expressive, and cultivated over decades of ongoing exploration. Much of her recent studio work is for radiophonic diffusion, often based on field-recordings and with a pol...
