From Haas NewsWire:
The Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum will shine its light on Israel as a case study for cross-border investing at its first event of the year on Thursday, January 26, at 6:30 p.m. in the Arthur Andersen Auditorium.
The Berkeley Entrepreneurs Forum is hosted by the Haas School’s Lester Center for Entrepreneurship & Innovation. It meets every third Thursday of the month, starting with a lively networking session at 6:30 p.m. followed by a speaker or panel discussion.
This Thursday’s event will look at the changing world of start-ups, in which even the youngest ventures look abroad for labor and funding sources, while venture capitalists are expanding their search for promising innovations from around the world. The panel will feature Isaac Applbaum, founding partner of Opus Capital; Steve Krausz, general partner of US Venture Partners; and Opher Kahane, vice president of Voice Technologies at Juniper Networks. David Akov, Consul General of Israel for the Pacific Northwest, will give the opening remarks.
