The Acquisition Of Israeli Start-Ups

While there are exceptions, most Israeli start-ups end up getting acquired during their growth stages rather than sticking it out to achieve IPOs (International Public Offerings).

And part of the problem is that with so many start-ups, the country’s small population talent pool is stretched thin, which is a problem the U.S. is starting to have too.
