Adam Neumann is back with a new startup, and 50% of our episode is now off the rails. Apparently his sister was more well known than he was, pre-wework. Who knew?? So his new startup, Flow, raised $350M from A16Z. And HiBo...

Wow, crazy great episode this week! We literally thought of a hilarious startup idea, and Guy ran it through an AI deck generator, and before you know it Sky Jumpers was born. Sky Jumpers- parachutes for drones. We also lost...

Shark tank-like pitches are the worst, right? Well, Hillel doesn't agree, but you might think otherwise. Unfortunately, there are more layoffs hitting the Israeli tech scene. And we spoke a lot about where Facebook should b...

Back with a vengeance! A lot of iOS 16 public beta talk, tbh. It's momentous- you gotta love summer iOS betas. Then of course we reviewed a few restaurants. Deal with it. Was a fun episode this week- enjoy! BYEEEEEE -- Foll...

What a hurricane of an episode! We talked about drones, TikTok, autocorrect, restaurants, the recession, cars, intermittent fasting, nuclear submarines... (I may have made that last one up 😁) and more! We were all over the ...

Guy has COVID. Itamar calls out Netta. Hillel is getting Crystal Lite. A ball was had by all. We got some listener feedback calling one of our episode "semi unhinged". BADGE OF HONOUR. Ok, so what did we chat about this w...

Itamar is back from the States... did he get the powder Hillel asked for... ? You'll never believe why 🤣 We spoke about: Apple planning an iPhone subscription service - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2022-03-24/apple...

Bootstrap went global! Well, not completely, but some of us were traveling. And it was a relatively slow tech news week, so the guys played a game that Guy prepared! And we got to hear about Hillel's latest obsession, as we...

It seems like the world is preoccupied with the more wheels vs doors debate, so we step in and help settle that. But what else is going on? Well, the boys took a two week hiatus, so Hillel could travel, get pedicures, etc. ...

"I don't know anything about Peloton or fitness AND I DON'T WANNA TALK ABOUT IT" -Hillel Ok, so maybe that's not an exact quote, but it covers the spirit of what he said. But guess what? Peloton was in the news and we talked...

It was another hostful week! Full cast :) We finally weighed in on the Spotify/Rogan thing. It has been festering for weeks, so we couldn't ignore it any longer. And we finally got some local startup product news in there ...

Are you recovering from your whiplash from last week's episode? Have no fear, Itamar is back, ba-by! And he finally tried Wordle, and his first score is the name of this episode, so it's now cemented in history. Have you tr...

Itamar had a last minute emergency, but the show must go on! So it's a Guy-Hillel-full episode. We jumped right into it, straight-up tech-talk. Oh and we should have probably named this episode something about the answer to l...

41! This is the George H W Bush episode. You came to hear us talk about tech. That's exactly what you're gonna get. But the best nugget has to be how expensive Hillel's drone is. Seriously. WTF. How much is it? You gotta...

EPISODE FORTY!!! We upped it up. A whole extra notch! Sometimes we play games as a segment of the show, but this time, the entire episode is a game! We played the "Hillel Secret Word Game", where Guy and Itamar had to compe...

First Bootstrap pod of 2022! And we were off to a great start! First of all, #freeItamar . Listen and you'll get it. Second, we found out that Hillel can eat a 1.2kg steak in one sitting. But most importantly, we chatted abo...

It was a hostful -Hillel this week, but we kept on going and managed to stay on the rails (sorry fans of going off-rails...) We're deep in winter now, but there's still a lot going on in the tech world! We talked about: Movi...

WE MADE IT TO EPISODE 18 X 2! But barely... You see, we experienced yet another equipment failure. Including the backup system 🤦🤦🤦. And we lost the original Episode 36. So technically this is 36b. Yeah- this episode is la...

We thought it would be a slower news week thanks to Thanksgiving, but it turned out to be a regular-length episode! We played a game, we talked about Apple's upcoming AR headset, Adele + Spotify, and how Tile (RIP) was acqui...

♫ Nothing last forever, even cold November brain... ♫ It's November, so that means all 3 of your favourite hosts have birthdays this month! But sometimes those birthdays are responsible for missed episode weeks. We apologiz...

ALL THE BOYS ARE BACK! And we took out a billboard on the Ayalon to celebrate! Just kidding, but that's what everyone else seems to be doing... What did we talk about? Elon's tax tweet of course. Our friends at Neuralight r...

WE'RE BAAAA-AAAAACK!! Yes, it has been a long two weeks off, but we're happy to be back! (Well, for those of us who are back :) Hillel needed to travel, but we don't hold that against him. We're excited to hear all about it ...
