My visit to Israel was part of a Babson College Israel Startup Strategy Elective Abroad -- for 22 undergraduates.

On May 16, Andy David of Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that 20% of the world's 2,200 cybersecurity companies are in Israel. I have been following one of Israel's early public technology companies, cybersecurity technology provider Check Point Software, for nearly two decades. If more Israeli startup marathoners such as Shwed emerge, I will be excited to talk with them.
