This week, host Eve Young, economics correspondent for The Jerusalem Post, interviews co-founders Shai Goel and Tomer Biton, who together are working to help "miluimnikim" (reservists) transition from their reserve duty to the hi-tech ecosystem with their project - MiluimTech

Shai, the CEO, and Tomer, the COO, are working to help reservists who have never been in the tech sector or reservists who were working at tech companies but faced challenges or were fired after extended periods of reserve duty during the Israel-Hamas war.

The two will talk about how they encountered the problems faced by reservists, which included cold shoulders from employers and illegal firing, and how they are working to solve these by raising awareness and helping reservists network and connect to key players in the field.
