Innovation Conference: Yuval Tal, Co-founder and CEO of Linguana, Operating partner of Team8 and Founder of Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO)

Watch our exclusive interview with with Yuval Tal, Co-founder and CEO of Linguana, Operating Partner of Team8 and Founder of Payoneer (NASDAQ: PAYO).

Yuval is a serial #entrepreneur in the #fintech world, having taken not one but two companies public: Borderfree and Payoneer. He shared the #challenges of building trust when fintech was still emerging, offered #advice on the #ideation phase, and shared insights on the industry landscape.

We then discussed his role as Operating Partner at Team8, which stands out from traditional #VCs by supporting founders from day one — connecting them with the right people at the right time starting at the #ideation phase.  Team8 was recently ranked the #1 early-stage #VC fund in Israel by Dun & Bradstreet.

We also explored his latest venture Linguana, which he founded at Team8. The company helps video creators localize and #monetize their #content globally, and recently raised an $8.5M #seed round. We then touched on the global creator economy, its barriers, and his vision for the next decade.
