OurCrowd Signs Deal with Azerbaijan Investment Company

by The Israel Insider August 6, 2021

Israeli venture capital firm OurCrowd has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Azerbaijan Investment Company (AIC), represented by the Chairman of its Supervisory Board, Minister of Economy of Azerbaijan, Mikayil Jabbarov. The memorandum is intended to promote strategic cooperation in the field of investment by the Government of Azerbaijan in OurCrowd’s portfolio.

The agreement makes OurCrowd the first Israeli business entity to sign an agreement with Azerbaijan since that nation opened its Trade and Tourism Offices in Israel.

A former Soviet Republic, Azerbaijan became an independent nation in 1991 with the fall of the Soviet Union. The country opened its Trade and Tourism office in Tel Aviv on July 31, a preliminary step to the opening of the Azeri Embassy. Israel and Azerbaijan had about $200 million in trade between them in 2020.

In March of this year, Israeli defense company Meteor Aerospace teamed up with Caspian Ship Building Company (CSBC) of Azerbaijan to jointly offer advanced defense solutions to meet the Eurasian country’s national needs. An estimated 30,000 Jews live in Azerbaijan.

Azerbaijan Investment Company (“AIC”) was established by Presidential decree in March 2006. All shares of AIC are owned by the Government of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The company is governed by a supervisory board appointed by the Ministry of Economy. The main economic purpose of the AIC is capital investments into the non-oil sector of the Azerbaijan Republic.

OurCrowd has raised $1.8 billion in investment committed across 250 portfolio companies and 27 funds. Since its inception in 2013. the firm has recorded 46 exits, as well as the NASDAQ launches of Beyond Meat and Lemonade, and a number of high profile acquisitions including, Jump Bike by Uber, Briefcam By Canon, Argus by Continental, Crosswise by Oracle, Replay by Intel, Corephotonics by Samsung, and CyberX by Microsoft. Today, OurCrowd’s investment platform has 118,000 qualified investors from 195 countries.

OurCrowd explained that in the initial phase, AIC will invest in 10-15 startups from the OurCrowd portfolio, specifically those technologies and innovations which have significant potential to encourage growth for the Azerbaijan economy, with a specific focus on the fields of energy, health, education and more.

The deal will first be subject to a successful full-scale agreement between AIC and Our Crowd.

OurCrowd hopes that other potential partners based in Azerbaijan, in both the private and public sectors, will be making similar arrangements in the near future.

Minister Jabbarov, said at the signing ceremony, “The Memorandum of Understanding between the Israeli company OurCrowd, and the Azerbaijan Investment Company has been signed to attract investments in startup projects and transfer the best practices of leading Israeli companies to our country. This new area of cooperation will contribute to the establishment of an innovative ecosystem in our country.”

CEO and Founder of OurCrowd, Jon Medved said, “The OurCrowd model of investment, and the companies that we support, are testament to the power of cooperation and partnership. The opportunity to sign an MOU with Azerbaijan will allow us to expand our reach, and help new entrepreneurs and startups realize their dreams. Moreover, this agreement will play a significant part in advancing the cooperation between Israel and Azerbaijan. By bringing together entrepreneurs and investors in both countries and around the world, we will be able to expand our ecosystem, and build new innovations together.”

It’s Time To Execute The Plan: Go To The Other Side

by Vance K Jackson May 11, 2020

written by Vance K Jackson

It’s time to do what God has called you to do. Whatever vision, dream, witty idea or invention that God has placed into your heart — it’s time to execute. The vision that God has placed within the walls of your heart is meant to bless the world. What gifts, talents, treasures, and abilities are you hiding? What skills are you not utilizing? What skills are you under utilizing? It’s time to pour out what God has poured into you. It’s time to execute. Now is the time. Now is the season. You were born for such a time as this.

The Ship Was Tossed With Waves

“But the ship was now in the midst of the sea, tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary.” ‭‭(Matthew‬ ‭14:24‬ ‭KJV)‬‬

Matthew 14:22 KJV declares, “And straightway Jesus constrained his disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him unto the other side, while he sent the multitudes away.” Jesus commanded the disciples to get into a ship and go before him, unto the other side. Matthew‬ ‭14:22‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ puts it this way, “Then He directed the disciples to get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent away the crowds.” Jesus gave the disciples a couple of orders: 1. Get into the ship. 2. Go to the other side.

Has God given you a command? Has He given you some instructions to follow? The disciples were to obey Jesus’ instructions: First, get into the ship and then go to the other side. There was purpose waiting on the other side. Someone’s breakthrough was waiting on the other side. Someone’s deliverance was waiting on the other side. Someone’s healing was waiting on the other side. It’s time to go. It’s time to execute. Your obedience is critical.

As the disciples were crossing over, Matthew 14:24 KJV declares, that a storm arose and the ship was tossed with waves: for the wind was contrary. Notice, the Bible declares that after the disciples obeyed the Voice of Christ — the wind and waves didn’t appeared until they were in the middle of the sea. It wasn’t until the middle of the disciples’ journey when trouble arose.

Maybe you’re in the midst of your journey and you’ve obeyed God’s Instruction — and while you’re in the middle of the sea, all of a sudden the waves of life toss your ship. You’re in the middle of the journey and you can’t turn back. You’re in the middle of the sea and you can’t see the shoreline ahead of you. The waves of life seem to crash into your boat — wave after wave. Circumstance after circumstance. Situation after situation. What do you do? Where do you go? Who do you turn to?

The disciples were in a dire situation. Their boat was being tossed to and fro. It seemed as if they had no way of escape. Water filled their vessel. Matthew‬ ‭14:24‬ ‭AMPC‬‬ declares, “But the boat was by this time out on the sea, many furlongs [a furlong is one-eighth of a mile] distant from the land, beaten and tossed by the waves, for the wind was against them.” They were beaten and tossed by the waves, they were gripped with fear — until something happened in the middle of the night — during the Fourth Watch.

The Fourth Watch

“And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬

According to Matthew 14:25 AMPC, the Fourth Watch is between, 3:00am – 6:00am. Remember, a few verses back, in Matthew 14:23 AMPC, when Jesus had sent the multitudes away, and commanded the disciples to go to the other side — it was evening time. “And after He had dismissed the multitudes, He went up into the hills by Himself to pray. When it was evening, He was still there alone.” Matthew‬ ‭14:23‬ ‭AMPC‬‬. Now here are the disciples in the midst of the sea — in the middle of the night, during the fourth watch.

The disciples obeyed Jesus’ Instructions. They obeyed His Voice. They obeyed His Command to go over to the other side — and now the winds were against them. The waves were crashing against their ship. Just a few hours ago, they were positive that they heard God’s Instruction to get into the ship and to go over to the other side. So what went wrong? Why were the winds and waves against them? Why was it so hard?

It was in the fourth watch where the disciples’ fear and faith collided. ‭‭James‬ ‭1:8‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “A double minded man is unstable in all his ways.” There are times when fear and faith collide and it’s up to you to choose who you will serve. Will you choose to move forward in faith? Or will you bow to fear? Will choose to trust in the Word of God? Or will you succumb to the wind and waves of life? You choose. Joshua‬ ‭24:15‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”

Maybe, you’re in the middle of the sea, and the waves are crashing against your boat. Maybe, you’ve started well and you’ve obeyed God’s Command to start that business, start that ministry, launch that initiative or to write that book and now it seems as if the winds are contrary to your progress. It seems like the waves of life want to drown your progress. Maybe, like the disciples you’re in the Fourth Watch, your in the middle of the night, and the waves are trying to sink your ship. Be of good cheer — although it was dark and dire during the Fourth Watch it was in the fourth watch where Christ met the disciples out on the water.

In the midst of their turmoil, in the midst of their distress, in the midst of their chaos — Jesus met them. Matthew‬ ‭14:25‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “And in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went unto them, walking on the sea.” God will meet you in the middle of your circumstance — even when it seems like all hope is lost — He will meet you in the Fourth Watch.

The wind did not distract Christ. The height of the waves didn’t matter to God. The storm didn’t move Christ. Matthew‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬ declares, “But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” Fear will sink your ship. Fear will cause you to forget what God’s Word has declared over your life. Be of good cheer and focus on Christ. When fear tries to grip your heart — focus on His Word. When the waves seem insurmountable — focus on Christ. If God told you to get into the boat and go to the other side — trust in His Word. Trust that He will not let you sink.

Be Of Good Cheer… It Is I

“But straightway Jesus spake unto them, saying, Be of good cheer; it is I; be not afraid.” ‭‭Matthew‬ ‭14:27‬ ‭KJV‬‬

As the disciples were frightened. They were full of fear. They were in the middle of turmoil and chaos. The wind and the waves seemed like it was too much to bear. While they were in the midst of the sea — in the middle of their circumstance — Christ came to meet them out on the water. The Great I Am is out on the water. Be of good cheer — Christ wants to comfort you. Be of good cheer — Christ wants to bring you peace. Be of good cheer — God wants to still your storm.

Notice, I stated that Jesus wants to still “your” storm. The storm did not bother Christ. In fact, Christ had dominion and authority over the wind and waves. The wind and waves were no competition for Christ. As they vehemently crashed upon the disciples’ boat — Jesus was walking on water. Notice that in the same environment that the disciples were struggling in — Jesus was thriving. Christ wants you to thrive in the midst of the storm. Don’t let the wind and waves of the world serve as distraction.

It’s time to go to the other side. The winds and waves may be vehemently crashing against your ship — choose to trust that Christ will not let you sink. Be of Good Cheer — Christ wants to meet you on the water. He’s waiting on you.

Maybe, you’re in the midst of a storm and the wind and waves of life seem like they’re more than you can bear — my brother or sister, choose to trust in God’s Word. Choose to trust that the waves and winds of life are not bigger than God. Don’t exalt the storm — choose to exalt Christ. Focus on His Word. Trust in His Promise. Our God will not let you sink.

Prayer:

Father God, in the Name of Jesus, I choose to trust You. Father, I choose to place my hope in Your Word. Lord, Your Word is greater than the problems that I face. Father, Your Word conquers all of my fears.

Father, Your Word crushes every storm and there is nothing that can compete against You. Father, You are greater. Father, You are more powerful. Father, You are Sovereign and I declare that You are Lord over my life. Father, I completely surrender to You now and forever.

In Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Four Greeks With Autism Open Their Own Business After Employers Refuse To Hire Them

by Rhoda Gayle March 4, 2020

written by Rhoda Gayle

A group of four young Greeks with autism opened their own business after employers refused to hire them due to their situation.

Employing differently-abled people

During recent years, some organizations started to incorporate vulnerable social groups as their employees. This era is better than the previous eras where differently-abled people had no chance of finding a job. However, due to the disproportionate jobs offered, these people still find it hard to get a job.

“They are mainly employed in family-friendly businesses,” a parent of one of the team said. “Only in recent years have some organizations have been created to incorporate vulnerable social groups. Even then, however, the jobs offered are disproportionate. New people with disabilities cannot find a place to work most of the time.”

Four young Greeks

Though life may be hard for the differently-abled ones, this group of young Greeks with autism changes the stigma about disabilities. When no one hired them to be employers, they created their own snack business. Thanks to the vocational training they received with the 3S School Synergy Snacks, they were able to attain the skills needed for starting this kind of business.

The four young people are Giannis Chatziargyriou, Eleni Albertou, Michalis Sideris and Giorgos Vradis. With the support of their parents and teachers, they were able to come up with a product that surely catches the taste buds of the market. Their products are cereal bars with sesame, almonds, peanuts, olives, and honey.

“In Greece today, doing business is hard anyway,” Gannis’ mother said. “But it is even more difficult for people with additional limitations and intellectual difficulties. The same goes for those who stand by them. The ones that operate as their voices.”

Happiness is doing business

These team now lives just as they desire despite having their disabilities and they are thankful for those who supported them.

“Although my life was difficult, I managed to achieve what my soul wanted. A baking – pastry degree that gave me some supplies and the privilege of continuing my career professionally. The difficulties we face with my team make us stronger and bring us closer to achieving our goals. We thank those who support us in this beginning,” Eleni Albertou said.

Man With Autism Starts A Business After Employers Rejected His Job Application

by Rhoda Gayle December 3, 2019

written by Rhoda Gayle

A man with autism started his own business after employers rejected his job application. Now he spreads awareness on the importance of giving people with disabilities business opportunities.

Michael Coyne

In North Smithfield, Rhode Island, Michael Coyne started his own coffee shop business called Red, White & Brew. Michael is not just a normal entrepreneur, he also has autism. After being rejected by many employers due to his disability, he took matters into his own hands and branched off on his own.

“After I turned 21 I applied to multiple places. None of them would hire me,” Michael said.

Sheila Coyne, Michael’s mother, wanted his son to live life just like normal adults do, to work, and have fun.

“It’s not easy for parents to watch your kid sit around the kitchen table while everyone else is enjoying life and coworkers, and talking about their day,” she said.

Red, White & Brew

Michael enrolled in a business class through the Developmental Disabilities Council of Rhode Island. After completing the class, he then started to create his own coffee shop.

“We’ve been very busy,” Michael said. “It’s been fun.”

The Red, White & Brew has already been open for two weeks and people are being inspired by Michael’s determination.

“We’ve had parents come in with tears in their eyes with the hope that their young children will eventually be accepted into the community,” Sheila shared.

Public Awareness

Michael also wants to spread awareness about the importance of hiring people with disabilities and accepting them as a part of the community. He is planning on hiring more people with special needs into his coffee shop because he knows they are hard workers too.

Michael’s success story shows that people with special needs can also be as successful as everyone else. They just need to have the opportunity to live a normal life and be accepted. Let this testimony of this man with autism emphasize that each life matters.

Red, White & Brew is located at 601 Great Rd, North Smithfield, Rhode Island.

The Power Of Words In Business

by Brian Taylor November 29, 2019

written by Brian Taylor

ThereWords affect business and it’s important to explore how the power of words affect business. The mountain of business is the place where transactions are made. It is the place where people “occupy until He comes” (Luke 19:13). As people occupy their place upon the mountain of business, in whatever capacity that may be, it is imperative to keep in mind that there is power in our words.

In business, it matters that we keep our word. It is how we keep our “good name“. For example, the writer of Proverbs 22 was the understanding that a good name is more desirable than riches. Your name is your credit and is priceless when you honor others by being one who keeps his word. It’s why we are encouraged to let our “yes be yes and our no be no” (Matthew 5:37).

Business contracts bind us to our words. They help us uphold our end of an agreement. Contracts are beneficial for everyone involved. When one party fails to uphold their end everyone loses. The power of our words in business I the means by which we can reflect God’s covenant agreement with His creation. He never breaks His end of the agreement. Therefore, as Christians, we can show forth glory when we honor our agreements with others.

Vision and mission

In business, one of the most powerful things that exists is a business’s mission and vision statement. For in them are the foundational promises of what the owner/creator had in mind as a promise of how they intend to make an impact on the community. Businesses have a great ability to shape a nation by creatively conceiving and manifesting the abundance of God through work, envisioning city growth and maximizing potential of the available resources. When vision is cast and written, it can plainly be seen by those who are a part of that business. They commit their word to see it through by working in tandem with that vision to sit it to fruition.

When God’s people, on the mountain of business imagine greatness and speak that vision, the power of their words give an earthly example of the beginning process of creation as God Himself created the heavens and the earth. When God’s people, with integrity cast a vision, encourage those who labor among them, and empower them with every resource to bring that vision to pass, they are bringing glory to God through it all.

Words have weight

In business, words have weight and hold value. God is raising up many to take their place upon the mountain of business to restore integrity to it. Part of that integrity is rooted in ethical decision making in how employees are treated, how the communities where they operate make use of the resources, and abide by laws rather than seeking to exploit them through unrighteousness.

Let your words bring life by speaking with integrity, honoring promises, and keeping them. Let the words of vision inspire a community to build and grow and multiply, even as God called us to. Seek to bring glory to the mountain of business by recognizing the power of your words.

Identity: Know Who You Are In Christ

by Matthew Bell August 17, 2019

written by Matthew Bell

Identity is the key to unlocking your full potential. It is impossible to know what God has called you to do, in business or life in general, without first knowing who you are and who God has created you to be. You are not what you do, how you look, where you come from, where you’ve been, your accomplishments, your failures, the job title in front of your name, the PHD after your name, or anything other than this one simple thing: you are a child of God; a son or daughter of the most high King!

“The Life-Light was the real thing: Every person entering Life he brings into Light. He was in the world, the world was there through him, and yet the world didn’t even notice. He came to his own people, but they didn’t want him. But whoever did want him, who believed he was who he claimed and would do what he said, He made to be their true selves, their child-of-God selves. These are the God-begotten, not blood-begotten, not flesh-begotten, not sex-begotten.” – John 1:9-13 MSG

Follow Matthew Bell on Instagram for Daily Inspiration and Book Giveaways!

Identity: You Are Created In God’s Image

God created you in His own image. He calls you son. He calls you daughter. Your value and your worth are intrinsically deposited into your life through God’s infinite love for you. Jesus’ work on the cross gave your life the value that it has at the very moment you were created. God loved you and knew you before you were even created inside your mother’s womb.

God’s love for you is so big and so vast that He was willing to send His son to die in your place. Your life was purchased through the sacrifice of another’s life: Jesus, God in the flesh. Because of this very fact, your life has a value beyond measure. Your life was purchased with the blood of Christ. Through His son, God essentially gave His own life for you. That means that the value that God places on your life is on par with Jesus. Why would God sacrifice His only son to save you, unless the value of your life is truly worth saving?

“If it is true that the value of something is measured by what someone will pay for it, then we need to rethink our worth.” – Bill Johnson, Sr. Pastor Bethel Church, Redding CA

As Christian entrepreneurs, it is important to separate our career identity from our true identity in Christ. We are first a son or daughter of God. Our identity as a child of God is a revelation we need to have before we can operate effectively in any other aspect of our lives, especially business.

Pray this prayer with me:

Father God, give me revelation of the value of my life. Show me what it means to be your son (or daughter), loved unconditionally and without judgment and without shame. Help me to receive Your love and the revelation of who I am, as your child, in whom you are well pleased. Amen

Introducing The Billionaire CEO Of Hobby Lobby Who Uses His Business To Honor God

by Joyca Lorriene April 22, 2019

written by Joyca Lorriene

David Green is an American businessman and the founder of Hobby Lobby, a highly successful chain of arts and crafts stores. He comes from a long line of preachers and says he’s built his business squarely on the Bible. “We’re Christians and we run our business on Christian principles,” he says.

According to Wikipedia, David who was born in 1941, lives in Oklahoma City with his wife, Barbara. They have three children. Two work for the business. Their son Steve is the president of Hobby Lobby and their daughter, Darsee is the company’s creative director.

Their son, Mart is also the founder of a Christian business, Mardel Christian and Educational Supply and Every Tribe Entertainment. The family is also the financial backer of Museum of The Bible and Steve is the museum’s president.

From ‘rags to riches’

In 1970, while a store manager David borrowed just $600 to start a home business, Greco Products which turned out to be a runaway success. From his garage, he assembled and sold tiny picture frames which were highly popular at the time. After doing this part-time for two years, David and his wife were able to open their own shop in Oklahoma City, the first Hobby Lobby store!

Five years later he was able to leave his job and open a second store with 6,000 square feet of space. From there the business just grew and grew. It now has over 800 stories with some 37,500 employees.

Supreme Court Win

As a devout Christian, the Hobby Lobby founder is not afraid to make a stand for what he believes. In 2014 he won a Supreme Court case that exempted “closely held” companies with strong religious beliefs from providing employees the morning-after pill.

Real-time net worth is $7.6 billion

As of April 14, 2019, Davids real-time net worth is said to be $7.6 billion according to Forbes magazine. Though close to 80 David still serves as Hobby Lobby’s CEO and goes to work six days a week. He and his family spent $500 million on the Museum of the Bible, which opened in Washington, DC in 2017.

In the video below, David is interviewed on Life Today. He speaks about his unique approach to business and what does it look like to be in full-time ministry and business at the same time.

David Green: The Ministry of Business (Randy Robison / LIFE Today)

Watch this video on YouTube

“We are an arts and crafts store, and I think God calls us to be the best we can and then use our influence however we can and to run our company in such a way that is pleasing to the Lord. The way you treat your people, how you use your finances, all those things, God will be pleased with.”

David honors God with his life and with his business. He considers it as a ministry where he can influence people for God. From spending thousands each year to advertise the Gospel in newspapers during Christmas and Easter; to playing Christian music in his stores; closing on Sundays and altogether operating his business according to Biblical principles. There’s no doubt why God made him a billionaire!

The 7 Mountain Strategy And How You Can Shape Culture

by Jared Laskey March 26, 2019

written by Jared Laskey

The 7 Mountain Strategy was a concept both Bill Bright of Campus Crusade for Christ and Loren Cunningham of Youth With a Mission received as revelation from God. When they met with one another in 1975 through conversation they realized God had spoken to them both individually about, “7 cultural mountains or gates.” Jesus was up to something!

God was showing them if Christianity was going to impact culture it had to impact seven areas. The 7 Mountains of culture are:

(1) business, (2) government, (3) arts and entertainment, (4) media, (5) education, (6) family and (7) church or religion.

Every Christian is Called

Os Hillman says, “The 7 Mountain Strategy helps Christians understand that their calling is from the Lord.” People’s work and sphere of influence can be used in impacting culture for the Gospel. Os continues saying the 7 Mountain Strategy, “is not a theology, it is not dominionism. It is simply a strategy for the Body of Christ. Bringing the Gospel of the Kingdom combined with the Gospel of Salvation.”
