Field Notes: Day #4 from Rackspace Hosting Hosting Startups Week in Jerusalem….

I love returning to PICO Jerusalem.

Ever since I began my adventure in Israel, Isaac S Hassan has always opened up the space to be one of my homes away from home.

PICO is home to startups, service providers, independent consultants and VCs like Ben Wiener, Elie Wurtman, and most recently, Danna Hochstein Mann. I also ran into my buddy, Margot Madeson-Stern who’s doing cool stuff in clean tech.

There is an incredible bakery/restaurant just two floors down in an industrial building that is very fitting for a collection of innovators and builders making and creating new companies.

Here is one of the entrepreneurs I met with today – Zack Isakow. I can’t get into what he’s working on, but he has dream for a marketplace that I don’t believe exists.

Tomorrow, I head to Q5 – run by the good people at Made in Jerusalem.

This is Jerusalem. The Nation’s Capital. It’s #BuiltToLast.
