From First Check to Founders' Best Friend - Rona Segev from TLV Partners on Building Without Limits

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.
