While selling out is essential for a lot of start-ups, Israel needs to start building and maintaining billion dollar companies |
theres only two options: either buy big global companies and production lines, or make an "exit", sell and continue to work on r&d or component side-production, as a division the intl global firm. with the disk on key I think there was a problem on getting patent status because the usb technology itself was not patented. but you are right that this exit strategy in the long run is not very healthy as a model for growing the industry. but our main strong point a lot of times isnt in controlling production lines sale and distribution, its new r&d and adding value through patent applications on existing technologies and global systems.
