Unit 8200 is the elite cybersecurity and hacking division of the IDF, Israeli Defense Force.



Israel continues to astonish the world with its ability to hack other nation states much due to the credit and skills of the select members of unit 8200. Many of these soldiers graduate and immediately start lucrative careers as consultants and entrepreneurs.

Viber, and Wix are a couple of the most well knows companies started by former 8200 members. You’ll also find many 8200s in leadership roles at Apple, Amazon, Google Tesla and so on.

My these is we can uncover great investing opportunities by identifying the leaders of these companies run by former 8200 members.

Innoviz is one of these companies and is slated to complete a reverse merger SPAC through $CGRO

“Innoviz is among the largest of the 600 or so Israeli startups focused on developing autonomous driving technologies. Founded in 2016 by a group of former IDF staff, the startup is working to develop perception technology and lidar sensors at affordable prices.”

Im excited about this one because Innoviz is in the autonomous vehicle space developing Lidar systems. We’ve already seen the market reward $LAZR for the huge market opportunity this technology represents. Innoviz already has products in the pipeline and partnered with Magna, a giant supplier to auto OEMs.

Im long $CGRO and 8200. Let me know if you find other companies run by former IDF.
