A practical medtech founder story about making ECGs portable, shareable, and usable outside the hospital.
This episode follows the push to move ECGs out of the hospital and into a pocket sized device, with Neha Rastogi walking through how Agatsa turned that idea into a working startup.
A practical look at indoor orientation, accessibility, and anonymous app use.
Indoor orientation is the real focus here: finding a restroom, an exit, or the right corridor inside a mall or another public place. Idan Meir treats it as a design problem that most people only notice when they are already lost.
Accessibility is treated as a usability problem, not just a compliance checkbox.
Purple Lens frames accessibility as more than a startup slogan and keeps returning to a practical question: what does usable mean for people with disabilities?
A practical founder chat about AR family storytelling with real traction.
The episode presents Zoog as a hands-on family storytelling product with a clear AR angle and a simple idea behind it: let grandparents and storytellers become the stars of children's content.
The cryptography is the hook, but the episode earns its weight by staying honest about the limits and risks of voting systems.
Shai Bargil gets at the part of online voting that is easy to hand-wave past: the hard work is not only encryption, but showing that a ballot was handled correctly from start to finish.
A practical look at how B2B startups win first customers in new markets.
This episode looks at how B2B startups land a first customer when they move into a new market. Maya Kaufman makes a practical point: the product can stay the same, but the way you speak, write, and even show up has to shift across Israel, the US, and the UK.
A startup interview that treats happiness as a practiced habit, not a slogan.
The conversation treats happiness as a skill, and the strongest idea is simple: five minutes a day can add up when it becomes a habit. Talia Soen presents Happy Things as a personal happiness assistant, shaped to respond to sleep, physical activity, stress, and women-specific…

Minash Shani, CEO of Purple Lens, discusses how his company creates equal internet experiences by focusing on usability over compliance.
Sales starts with understanding, not explaining.
Restrooms start the problem.
Avi Greenwald, CTO and co-founder at Agua, says the company was built by asking data managers what pain they needed solved instead of starting with a fixed product idea.
Yoav Oren says Zoog is a "platform for content-based communication" that puts grandparents inside children's stories through AR, recordings, and a family album that saves everything forever.
Dmitry Gazersky, CTO and co-founder of Click-ins, defines the company as "visual intelligence AI for automated vehicle inspections" and traces it back to an insurance-fraud problem that started in 2014.
