Deep dive in to all things Israel
In this episode of the Omec Podcast, Jakob Lundvall speaks with David Citron, founding partner TBD VC, a pre-seed venture fund launched in the middle of Israel’s war with Hamas. What began with a chance encounter on the Gaza border evolved into a mission to back first-time founders and combat veterans building in the face of chaos.
David shares how his experience on active reserve duty gave him the clarity to reframe risk, why Israel’s early-stage ecosystem is in need of review, and how veteran founders are uniquely suited to thrive under pressure. He discusses the untapped opportunity in pre-seed, the story behind backing companies that made large exists, and why the next generation of Israeli unicorns will be go global.
This is not just a story about venture capital, it’s about resilience, purpose, and rebuilding a nation through innovation.
