‘Hope is A Global Thing’: Nas Daily shares an impact message

Apr 30, 2019 | ,

If you haven’t already encountered Nuseir Yassin, better known as video blogger Nas Daily, he’s the guy who has probably popped up in your Facebook newsfeed a few times over the last few years. Nas travelled the world for 1,000 days, uncovering impactful stories and sharing viral videos about them for millions of followers to enjoy. More recently, in his OCSummit19 plenary session, “Hope is A Global Thing,” Nas spoke about what drove him to change his stable trajectory and follow his passion, ending up an expert and world-renowned storyteller – and how the ability to tell a story can impact global innovation. I am convinced that opportunity exists in…every country and it is our responsibility as creators to showcase this stuff and your responsibility as investors is to invest in this stuff, the things that actually make the world a better place. – Nuseir Yassin, Nas Daily  Plus, check out his 1-minute (get it?) interview with former BBC correspondent Anna Kingsley to hear more of Nas’ insights: If you haven’t seen Nas Daily in the wild, check out Nuseir’s channel....

How a trip to buy a juicer led to making the world a better place – and other stories behind the 2019 OurCrowd Global Investor Summit

Feb 12, 2019 | ,

Ran Krauss went to an electronics store to buy a juicer but a drone caught his eye and he went home with that instead.  Pretty soon, he fine-tuned his drone skills and eventually formed an automated industrial drone company called Airobotics.  OurCrowd invested in it and Airobotics is now revolutionizing aerial inspection, security and emergency response. Like Ran and his drones, many of our startups are disruptive. In fact OurCrowd itself turned the tables on traditional venture capital, opening up startup investing to a global crowd. So it makes sense that the annual OurCrowd Global Investor Summit is not just a standard conference – and this year it will be even more engaging, more entertaining, more thought-provoking – and ultimately more productive. Below we explore seven reasons why this Summit is different from all other summits. 1.Unlike other business events we don’t just do panels We aim to provide real insight while also being interesting and compelling. Our 21 breakout sessions break the molds. “Two Truths and a Lie,” where five masters in the VC world play an interactive game...
