When Dan Senor and Saul Singer popularized the term "start-up nation" in their 2011 New York Times bestseller, they were referring to Israel. As a venture investor, I was most impressed. On the flipside, I was wondering: what comes next? Start-ups grow; angel investors exit; and other projects emerge, attract financing and capture the world's imagination. Everything moves at the speed of light these days; the Economist is already talking about Israel as a scale-up nation.
