What can the U.S. start up community learn from Israel?

Today I met Pascal Levensohn, Manager and Founding Partner of Levensohn Venture Partners at the Jewish Community Federation’s Business Leadership Council (BLC) Breakfast at San Francisco’s Palace Hotel. Since Levensohn does so much VC work in both the Bay Area and Israel I asked him what can the start up community in the U.S. learn from Israel and vice versa.
