AI is breaking the data loss prevention model - #0100, Nitay Milner & Emily Fontaine (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Well, here it is: Episode 100 of The Spiro Circle. When I recorded the first episode 18 months ago, I had a rough idea of what this show could be. I wanted it to be a place where long-form conversations about Israeli tech, geopolitics, or society could get broader attention. Now, with a growing audience across 20 countries and partnerships with international media channels like Forbes, I am proud to see what it is becoming, and that these conversations are getting the attention they deserve.

Meta’s $16.7 billion fine is a win for this Israeli VC thesis - #0099, Oren Charnoff (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For two decades, the winning formula in consumer tech was simple: maximize time on screen. Last month that formula got a multibillion-dollar price tag attached to it when Meta agreed to pay roughly $17 billion to settle a multistate lawsuit alleging Facebook and Instagram were deliberately engineered to be addictive to teenagers. Now, one Israeli investor thinks the backlash could create an opening for a very different kind of consumer product, and for a new generation of Israeli founders. Oren
Israel’s politicians are coming for the podcasts - #0098, Guy Katsovich (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Guy Katsovich and I sat across from each other in our shared studio a few weeks ago, discussing what happens when podcasting moves from the media ecosystem into the campaign trail.

Katsovich is the co-founder and partner at Fusion VC, a pre-seed platform and a longtime Israeli po
Can 'cleaner' data centers win over America’s NIMBYs? - #0097, Emmanuel Levy (opens the original)
Read excerpt
America’s fight over data centers is becoming a mainstream political staple. Seven in ten Americans say they don’t want a data center near their home, and more people now believe these facilities harm their community than help it, according to recent polling cited by industry trackers. Opposition has more than doubled across 49 states over the past year, and in the first quarter of 2026 alone, an estimated $130 billion in data center projects were blocked or delayed by local resistance. It’s not
Beef’s price surge could give fake meat a second chance - #0096, Amos Golan (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I’ll admit it upfront: I’ve tried alternative meat on my own barbecue, and they’ve never been exactly a slam dunk for me. So when I sat down with the Chunk Foods founder and CEO Amos Golan for this latest episode, I wasn’t chasing a hype piece on the wonders of foodtech. I’ve written those stories before. What I wanted to know was whether the economics of fake meat had finally changed. Turns out there is a number that can make that argument: $6.83 , the price of a pound of ground beef in the US
