"למכור חברה ב-60 מיליון דולר זו לא המטרה - צריך להצליח בגדול"
The Israeli start-up Sightful is developing an augmented reality-based laptop. The laptop, which features a keyboard, touch surface, and glasses that display a 100-inch virtual screen, is being sold in the United States for $2,150. However, the company faces competition from large companies like Apple, which is set to launch its spatial computing glasses next month. Eden Shochat, a partner at Aleph, who led the seed investment in Sightful, sees it differently.
