IsraelWebTour is coming up. Looks great

15 israeli startups have been selected to visit California for the IsraelWebTour event. The program this year looks absolutely great and a lot of great guys (Ron Conway, Saar Gur, Philip Kaplan, Reid Hoffman) and friends (Jeff, Loic, Yaron,...) not forgetting my colleague Daniel Cohen from Gemini Israel funds (who co founded this event) are going to be speaking during this week. Here are the companies that have been selected.

I know most of them personally and this is a great selection:

5min, Plymedia, AllofMe, Nuconomy, ClickTale, blogTV, Sportingo, PicScout, Qoof, 8hands, Velingo, Innovid, Semingo, PageOnce and Journeys

Mike has a good word about the event today in TechCrunch. This is great to see the dynamism of the israeli internet and their capacity to address such a challenging market like the USA.

This event is backed by the California Israeli Chamber of Commerce and I wish the French government was so active and involved in helping and promoting French startups abroad just like this

Thanks Ouriel for the post. We anticipate great outcome from this tour. BTW The French have a good Chamber of Commerce as well here in SV. The CICC is not a government effort but a private, industry supported initiative. Totally community organized.
