Chemi Peres, founder of the venture capital fund 'Pitango', met this week for a special meeting with Haredi entrepreneurs, as part of 'Kamatek'.
""Going forward with a vision, without having the moral vision - that's the most dangerous thing. My father always said: The Tablets of the Covenant, 196 letters that no one can replace - that's Jewish culture, that's the vision that passes down through the generations in values.
""The Jewish people, when they connect to this world of entrepreneurship, it gives us the greatest advantage. We can talk about repairing the world and bringing light to the nations, we can talk about many things, but the very fact that you entered as a group - I see it as more than just a human addition, beyond the capabilities of human empowerment for our industry, I see it as a reinforcement and a strength that will take us forward into the new world, a world that is changing at a very, very fast pace. That's what I wanted to tell you today.
""If there's time, I don't know Avrahami if you're counting the minutes for me... then I'll answer the questions...""
