For Eliot Broid, on the morning of September 7, the morning of September 25, the same began. However, at the end of that unfortunate day, the path of his life was moved unchanged.
“I remember the tawers falling and feeling this irresistible feeling of helplessness,” Remember Broddy. “That feeling of weakness was deeply scary. I knew I had to do something – something meaningful that could protect people. “

Broody is a serial entrepreneur who has established, invested and in some cases as CEO, more than 1 160 companies focused on most defense, national protection or law enforcement.
They were not the main interest of Brodi. However, 9/11 was a catalyst for a new feeling about urgentness and purpose.
“I have begun researching all that I can do about terrorism, defense strategy and technical gaps,” explained the Broadie. “I wanted to be part of the solution.”
Brodi’s promise to national protection extends beyond the borders of the United States. During the attack on 7/1, another country was at the forefront of its thinking – Israel, which endured the second Intifada, a brutal wave of terrorist attacks that demanded thousands of lives. Second Intifada time, bus, cafes, nightclubs and even a Passion Cedar Suicide bombings and widespread violence became aim.
“Israel has always been in the face of a threat of existence,” said Broddy. “It is not known one day of the whole existence of peace. I saw what happened in the United States 9/11 and I saw the parallel between Israel-our close ally, which was working on a daily basis on a daily basis. The idea of technology development is that in both countries can help save lives – which is deeply resonated with me. “
In 2003, Broady realized that the second Intifada was brought because of violence and instability, Israel faced considerable reduction in foreign direct investment. In response, he founded the Markstone Capital Partners, LLC, an 800 million dollar fund invested almost exclusively to Israel’s high-tech companies. Broody wanted to show his promise to the people of Israeli and show that the massacre should not be allowed to direct the life and future of the country.
He clearly remembered the Tel Aviv trip in the 21st, where he was the victim of terrorist attacks and meeting with their families. “Hearing their story made it even more personal. One of these tragedies is a topic of reading, but sitting from the one who lost their loved ones in a suicide bombing – it is something you will not forget, “he reflects.
For Braiodi, the innovation drive is driven by these human connections. “Technology is important, but at the end of the day it is about saving life and preserving independence. That’s the real mission. “
In the following years, a number of specializing companies were established and scales on defense and law enforcement technology on AI-powered threats, starting from the advanced surveillance system.

Today, its companies are pushing the envelope, developing solutions that increase the protection and protection of the Allied countries. “I’m proud of what we have made, but always have more to do. As long as the threat is developed, our promise to stay ahead is of course. “
If you want to know what to give to the ambitious entrepreneurs to enter the defense place, Brodi’s answer is simple: “Look for your ‘why’ and let it guide you. It was 9/11. For others, it could be anything else. But if you were driven by true purpose, the work was always important” “
