Stop choosing. Just do everything you want.
In this episode of IsraelTech, host Yoel Israel sits down with the legendary Rona Segev, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at TLV Partners - one of Israel’s most influential VCs backing the country’s most promising deep tech and AI-driven startups.
Rona shares her unfiltered thoughts on:
🚀 What she really looks for in a first-check investment (hint: it’s not the deck)
🧠 Why being “different” matters more than being better
👩👧👦 Her journey from 24-year-old founder and mother of two sets of twins to board member at over a dozen companies (many acquired or IPO’d)
🔮 How quantum computing + AI will flip the tech world on its head
🧘♀️ Work-life balance, ADHD, and the myth of choosing between career and motherhood
💡 And why founders should work with friends - and ignore the noise
This is more than an interview. It’s a masterclass in Israeli chutzpah, grit, and vision from someone who’s shaped the ecosystem for over two decades.
