Roy discusses his background in Israel's Cyber Intelligence Unit and briefly working in law at the Israeli Supreme Court, and how these experiences influenced his entrepreneurial path. Despite his first venture being acquired after two years, it felt more like luck to him as it was a business built by focusing more on a solution than a customer problem. With his second business, Cybint, Roy’s growth and exit was more intentional, and he decided to sell at a time when market conditions for acquisitions were particularly favorable. Throughout it all, Roy stresses the importance of approaching problems with humility and continuous learning. For more details and insights from his entrepreneurial journey, listen to the latest episode of The Exit. -- Roy Zur is a serial entrepreneur and Founder and CEO of ThriveDX’s Enterprise Division, the global education company committed to transforming lives through digital skills training and solutions.
