Eze Vidra (Remagine Ventures) - Investing in Israel, Media, and the Metaverse

Our guest today is Eze Vidra, Managing Partner of Remagine Ventures. Remagine, focuses on a cluster of these interconnected sectors, specifically media, entertainment, sports, commerce and data. We discuss consumer tech investing in Israel, VR & AR, and different use cases when it comes to the metaverse. Without further ado, here’s Eze. We discuss: I know you’re very focused on Israel. Why has Israel thrived as an entrepreneurship center? Since it is a small market, how do companies approach expansion? Do you see it more spreading into europe or U.S. or east? What was your initial attraction to technology and entrepreneurship? At what point did you become a venture capitalist and why did you no longer want to be an operator? Why did you leave Google Ventures to start Reimagine? Walk me through your due diligence process.How do you evaluate opportunities? Do you think of your selves more thematic or opportunistic? What are some of the areas/categories that get you excited? What are the biggest opportunities that are overlooked? What is the current state of the creator economy?

If you are interested in learning about consumer trends, have a b2c business and interested in learning about the fundraising process at the early stage, you have come to the right place.
