Aliyah Pathways Ep.10 | From Oleh to Entrepreneur. How to Build Your Business in Israel without loosing Your Way - hosting Rony Com

Starting your business in Israel can be exciting, full of opportunity, and also incredibly confusing. In this episode of Aliyah Pathways, Dr. Dahlit Brin speaks with Rony Com, a veteran oleh from Russia, serial entrepreneur, and Founder & CEO of Digital Hunters. Together, they explore what olim need to know before starting or growing a business in Israel, from Israeli business culture, networking, bureaucracy, and partnerships to pricing, value, and the unique strengths olim bring to the Israeli market. You’ll hear why a great idea is not always enough, why Rony says “don’t be a hero,” and how local guidance, the right network, and learning by doing can save you time, money, and unnecessary frustration. This episode is for you if you are thinking about starting your own business in Israel, already building one, or simply trying to understand how opportunity really works in the Start-Up Nation.
