Israeli Startups NYC
Waking up in Israel and wrestling with the idea of moving to NYC is an extremely tough decision that many startup founders face. The Israeli startup scene in NYC is growing at an exponential rate but it is far from easy making the transition.
Almost three hundred startups have moved from NYC to Israel and the number is going up every month. We wanted to look into who the most successful startups are that moved their entire operation while in the early stages of their business.

Here are the startups that you can really learn from if you are thinking about moving to New York from Israel or recently did so.
