Israel's Startup Founders Navigate Military Service and Entrepreneurship

With mandatory military service and reserves, the absence of key employees can disrupt operations and pose existential challenges for startups. While larger tech companies have been able to manage the impact, smaller startups struggle to maintain operations without their technical leads. Despite the challenges, Israeli entrepreneurs have shown resilience and determination to keep their businesses afloat during this difficult time.
