This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews Intel's VP Startup Ecosystem Tzahi (Zach) Weisfeld, who also heads startup accelerator Ignite, and Intel Capital Managing Director Roi Bar-Kat. 

Roi will talk about Intel's investment arm, Intel Capital, getting into why a corporation even wants an investment arm and what Intel Capital's focus is. 

Tzachi will discuss the changes Intel Ignite is going through as it relaunches outside of Intel. He will also explain what makes Ignite different from your standard accelerator. 

Tzachi and Roi will share their takes on the future of AI and other new deep tech and discuss what we should be excited about, and maybe worried for.

Both will touch on the impacts of Intel's huge restructuring, which included mass layoffs, on their work and will get into the challenges and successes of Israeli entrepreneurs during the Israel-Hamas war. 

Tzachi and Roi also touch on "soft skills" and mental health - discussing the importance of these, particularly for founders, and especially as Israel is at war.
