​Building Trust & Communicating in Startups

​As a first operator, your impact starts with people.

​Working closely with founders and teams — often without a clear playbook or formal authority — a huge part of your ability to make things happen comes down to building strong relationships, creating trust, and knowing how to communicate with the people around you.

​We’re bringing together two different perspectives on what that actually takes.

Noa Matz — Founder, Matz Startup Psychology | Strategic Advisor to Founders & VCs
Noa works closely with founders on the psychological dynamics behind building and leading a startup. She’ll focus on how founders’ needs and behaviors evolve — and how to build the trust and relationship needed to work effectively alongside them.

​Galit Ben Tovel — Organizational Consultant & Leadership Expert
Galit works with leaders and managers on the human dynamics that shape how people communicate and work together. She’ll focus on how different communication styles affect relationships — and how to communicate in a way that builds trust.

​Each will start with a short session from her own perspective, followed by an open panel bringing the two worlds together.

​We’ll talk about:
• How founders’ needs and behaviors change — and what that means for the way you work with them
• How to understand different personalities and communicate in a way that builds trust
• How to build strong relationships with founders and become a true partner
• How to navigate difficult conversations and create influence, even without formal authority

​📅 Sunday, September 6th | 5:30–8:00 PM
📍 Astelia | Yigal Alon St 94, Tel Aviv-Yafo, Alon Tower 2, FL 21

​If you’re building the Ops function from the ground up and figuring out how to become the person founders and teams trust to have beside them, this conversation is for you.
