On top of that, Eze is a prolific writer. He was been blogging about technology and venture capital at VC Cafe for the past 15 years. In today's episode we cover:
- How growing up as a child of immigrants shaped his worldview

- The difference between Europe, the US and Israel
- Starting his fund, Remagine ventures
- Eze's ability to rally people around one purpose, specifically the TechBikers non-profit

Having spent time in the US, Israel and Europe, Eze has a very distinctive and valuable perspective on technology and innovation so I hope you enjoy this conversation as much as I did.
