My admiration for this man is endless. Haim Saban is in my view one of the most important, if not the most important media (and new media) guy in the Israeli Scene. He created a real media empire out of nothing and now is turning to web for new opportunities. When i was working at ICQ i worked a lot with Prosieben one of his companies and one of the largest media group in Germany. Not only it was a real pleasure working with them, but i was also surprised by how knowledgeable they were about the web.
He will host an event, according to the globes (here in english), in search of the 20 best web startups in Israel. This event will introduce directly those companies to US media groups which is a great opportunity (how about also some european). i have seen no reference of that event anywhere
If you guys are reading me, or if someone hear about i ll be happy to know and obviously insanely promote it since i believe this is a great thing to do.
