The sighting of mythical "unicorns", startups valued at over $1 billion, is becoming more commonplace. Israel, coined the "Startup Nation", has become a breeding ground, producing 10 in the past 3 years. Among these unicorns is Kenshoo, developing digital marketing technology that powers $350 billion in sales and Taboola, a content discovery tool, attracting 1 billion monthly clicks.

Achieving unicorn status outside of the US presents a unique set of obstacles. Tom Bronfeld, Partner at Elevator, a Tel Aviv-based seed fund, will lead an intimate discussion with CEOs, Adam Singolda of Taboola, and Yoav Izhar-Prato of Kenshoo, on their journey to building a $1 billion business.
