So if I go back to all of where we are. So if I go back to all of where we are. So if I go back to move it to the beginning of it or to or move it to the beginning of it or to or move it to the beginning of it or to or needing a public transportation app the needing a public transportation app the needing a public transportation app the people who needed to navigate from one people who needed to navigate from one people who needed to navigate from one place to another 12 years ago would come place to another 12 years ago would come place to another 12 years ago would come across great difficulty digitally. If across great difficulty digitally. If across great difficulty digitally. If you wanted to go from to Tel Aviv by you wanted to go from to Tel Aviv by you wanted to go from to Tel Aviv by bus, you'd go downstairs, you'd look for bus, you'd go downstairs, you'd look for bus, you'd go downstairs, you'd look for the bus station. You'd have no idea if the bus station. You'd have no idea if the bus station. You'd have no idea if you found the right bus station in the you found the right bus station in the you found the right bus station in the right line and the right route. right line and the right route. right line and the right route. >> And move it was established with a very >> And move it was established with a very >> And move it was established with a very clear vision. We wanted to take the clear vision. We wanted to take the clear vision. We wanted to take the public transportation experience and public transportation experience and public transportation experience and make it more digital. And if I now make it more digital. And if I now make it more digital. And if I now connect it connect it connect it to the first two years, in order to give to the first two years, in order to give to the first two years, in order to give a solution like move it at high volume, a solution like move it at high volume, a solution like move it at high volume, at big scale, you need to be able to get at big scale, you need to be able to get at big scale, you need to be able to get data that is very complex uh to create data that is very complex uh to create data that is very complex uh to create and to show it. So in its first years, and to show it. So in its first years, and to show it. So in its first years, Move It actually set up a community, a Move It actually set up a community, a Move It actually set up a community, a community of a million volunteers that community of a million volunteers that community of a million volunteers that helped us to map out every element of helped us to map out every element of helped us to map out every element of public transportation, the lines, the public transportation, the lines, the public transportation, the lines, the times, the places. Without that, it times, the places. Without that, it times, the places. Without that, it would not have been able to create this would not have been able to create this would not have been able to create this huge volume and this huge scale. So if huge volume and this huge scale. So if huge volume and this huge scale. So if you're asking what the big decision was you're asking what the big decision was you're asking what the big decision was at the beginning, it was to set up that at the beginning, it was to set up that at the beginning, it was to set up that community and to generate very unique community and to generate very unique community and to generate very unique data. Gal, what was the unique the data. Gal, what was the unique the data. Gal, what was the unique the special crucial decision at the special crucial decision at the special crucial decision at the beginning of your road? Well, hi. Thank beginning of your road? Well, hi. Thank beginning of your road? Well, hi. Thank you.

Augury sells to take two decisions. Augury sells to enterprises. It deals with software and enterprises. It deals with software and enterprises. It deals with software and actually listens to noises and discovers actually listens to noises and discovers actually listens to noises and discovers and identifies malfunctions in the and identifies malfunctions in the and identifies malfunctions in the industry. And that was not a very industry. And that was not a very industry. And that was not a very popular decision at the time. 2011 2012 popular decision at the time. 2011 2012 popular decision at the time. 2011 2012 when we started out everyone was on when we started out everyone was on when we started out everyone was on social, mobile and geoloccation. social, mobile and geoloccation. social, mobile and geoloccation. So move it was like the end of that So move it was like the end of that So move it was like the end of that trend. Everyone was making mobile apps trend. Everyone was making mobile apps trend. Everyone was making mobile apps and we said we're not only going to and we said we're not only going to and we said we're not only going to enterprise we are going to go with enterprise we are going to go with enterprise we are going to go with hardware to the factories and that was hardware to the factories and that was hardware to the factories and that was the biggest thing we got was the the biggest thing we got was the the biggest thing we got was the people's eyebrows shooting up. They were people's eyebrows shooting up. They were people's eyebrows shooting up. They were saying you're weird go away. But we saying you're weird go away. But we saying you're weird go away. But we started with a handheld product for started with a handheld product for started with a handheld product for factories that was kind of like a factories that was kind of like a factories that was kind of like a stethoscope that was connected to stethoscope that was connected to stethoscope that was connected to phones. We would walk around with it and phones. We would walk around with it and phones. We would walk around with it and when we mowed went to a from a reheating when we mowed went to a from a reheating when we mowed went to a from a reheating ventilation system to having something ventilation system to having something ventilation system to having something permanent on the machine, suddenly our permanent on the machine, suddenly our permanent on the machine, suddenly our whole market feed was wrong and we had whole market feed was wrong and we had whole market feed was wrong and we had to pivot to beyond the yellow line in to pivot to beyond the yellow line in to pivot to beyond the yellow line in the factory to really go into the the factory to really go into the the factory to really go into the production lines. And it was both very production lines. And it was both very production lines. And it was both very scary but also it was like killing the scary but also it was like killing the scary but also it was like killing the revenue going right back to the revenue going right back to the revenue going right back to the beginning again. not really just beginning again. not really just beginning again. not really just starting a new but really taking the starting a new but really taking the starting a new but really taking the rational decision the unpopular decision rational decision the unpopular decision rational decision the unpopular decision and to work from that. So it worked and to work from that. So it worked and to work from that. So it worked quite well for us. Mateo, what was the quite well for us. Mateo, what was the quite well for us. Mateo, what was the crucial decision for you right at the crucial decision for you right at the crucial decision for you right at the very beginning? very beginning? very beginning? Well, actually the first two years Well, actually the first two years Well, actually the first two years connect symmetrically to these last two connect symmetrically to these last two connect symmetrically to these last two years. When we started out the idea of years. When we started out the idea of years. When we started out the idea of extend extend extend was how to actually take every person was how to actually take every person was how to actually take every person into a remote reality into a robot in into a remote reality into a robot in into a remote reality into a robot in such a way that you don't know that it's such a way that you don't know that it's such a way that you don't know that it's a drone or another robot. They just kind a drone or another robot. They just kind a drone or another robot. They just kind of leap into a different remote reality. of leap into a different remote reality. of leap into a different remote reality. We dreamed of architects who can We dreamed of architects who can We dreamed of architects who can supervise the building of other of build supervise the building of other of build supervise the building of other of build buildings in other countries and buildings in other countries and buildings in other countries and tourism. And in 2012, tourism. And in 2012, tourism. And in 2012, the kite um terror from the Gaza Strip the kite um terror from the Gaza Strip the kite um terror from the Gaza Strip made the four guys who were sitting in made the four guys who were sitting in made the four guys who were sitting in the office focus more on the fact that the office focus more on the fact that the office focus more on the fact that the IDF doesn't have a solution for the IDF doesn't have a solution for the IDF doesn't have a solution for that. And the concept that any person that. And the concept that any person that. And the concept that any person can now be brought into a flying can now be brought into a flying can now be brought into a flying machine, so to speak. We took all the machine, so to speak. We took all the machine, so to speak. We took all the soldiers soldiers soldiers on the ground on the line into drones on the ground on the line into drones on the ground on the line into drones and most of the balloons and kites, the and most of the balloons and kites, the and most of the balloons and kites, the terror ones that were used to bomb um terror ones that were used to bomb um terror ones that were used to bomb um the border the border the border uh were helped with that. And in recent uh were helped with that. And in recent uh were helped with that. And in recent years, in the last couple of years, we years, in the last couple of years, we years, in the last couple of years, we just see how this need is so urgent. So just see how this need is so urgent. So just see how this need is so urgent. So in terms of the product market feed, if in terms of the product market feed, if in terms of the product market feed, if there ever was one, this is it. So it there ever was one, this is it. So it there ever was one, this is it. So it all kind of fell into place for us. all kind of fell into place for us. all kind of fell into place for us. >> Oh, >> Oh, >> Oh, >> I think that we our journey began in

>> I think that we our journey began in >> I think that we our journey began in 2016 2016 2016 in the world of defense from a very in the world of defense from a very in the world of defense from a very personal experience we had and as we personal experience we had and as we personal experience we had and as we were going along we saw that we could were going along we saw that we could were going along we saw that we could provide a much broader solution for a provide a much broader solution for a provide a much broader solution for a market that is first of all bigger that market that is first of all bigger that market that is first of all bigger that it sales cycle is shorter and it's a it sales cycle is shorter and it's a it sales cycle is shorter and it's a market that is hungry for technology market that is hungry for technology market that is hungry for technology that doesn't exist yet. So after two that doesn't exist yet. So after two that doesn't exist yet. So after two years of being in the defense market, we years of being in the defense market, we years of being in the defense market, we made a complete shift to the automotive made a complete shift to the automotive made a complete shift to the automotive world. We developed um systems that world. We developed um systems that world. We developed um systems that support that and that is what brought support that and that is what brought support that and that is what brought our company to where it is now. We our company to where it is now. We our company to where it is now. We created a kind of standard as to how you created a kind of standard as to how you created a kind of standard as to how you scan and test cars from the moment that scan and test cars from the moment that scan and test cars from the moment that the car was born as so to speak in the the car was born as so to speak in the the car was born as so to speak in the factory and until it is sold as a factory and until it is sold as a factory and until it is sold as a secondhand car. And that was really the secondhand car. And that was really the secondhand car. And that was really the big shift, the big pivot that changed big shift, the big pivot that changed big shift, the big pivot that changed the way we went to through from 2016 the way we went to through from 2016 the way we went to through from 2016 until now. So let's move from your first until now. So let's move from your first until now. So let's move from your first two years to the last two years that two years to the last two years that two years to the last two years that have been so challenging have been so challenging have been so challenging um on the global level, but especially um on the global level, but especially um on the global level, but especially on the Israeli level. When you look back on the Israeli level. When you look back on the Israeli level. When you look back at the last two years, what were the at the last two years, what were the at the last two years, what were the main changes that main changes that main changes that and the decisions that you made as and the decisions that you made as and the decisions that you made as entrepreneurs to conform with a dynamic entrepreneurs to conform with a dynamic entrepreneurs to conform with a dynamic reality and how can you compete on the reality and how can you compete on the reality and how can you compete on the international level and on the Israeli international level and on the Israeli international level and on the Israeli level? Well, I think we can divide the

level? Well, I think we can divide the level? Well, I think we can divide the changes into two. First of all, we did changes into two. First of all, we did changes into two. First of all, we did domestically and what should have been domestically and what should have been domestically and what should have been done internationally. So on October 8th, done internationally. So on October 8th, done internationally. So on October 8th, we were all caught I think it's an we were all caught I think it's an we were all caught I think it's an overlap in all companies. We were all overlap in all companies. We were all overlap in all companies. We were all caught in a situation that it was so caught in a situation that it was so caught in a situation that it was so extreme. We took our company and we extreme. We took our company and we extreme. We took our company and we split it into two. Part of the company split it into two. Part of the company split it into two. Part of the company went to reserve duty and disappeared on went to reserve duty and disappeared on went to reserve duty and disappeared on us. And the second half us. And the second half us. And the second half was in reserve duty on the home front, was in reserve duty on the home front, was in reserve duty on the home front, meaning meaning meaning covering for those people who are on covering for those people who are on covering for those people who are on actual reserve duty to be able to actual reserve duty to be able to actual reserve duty to be able to volunteer in the community volunteer in the community volunteer in the community to work in the Gaza um the Gaza envelope to work in the Gaza um the Gaza envelope to work in the Gaza um the Gaza envelope in the communities on the Gaza border. in the communities on the Gaza border. in the communities on the Gaza border. And it was so important for us for our And it was so important for us for our And it was so important for us for our DNA. That's where we wanted to position DNA. That's where we wanted to position DNA. That's where we wanted to position ourselves. So that was very challenging ourselves. So that was very challenging ourselves. So that was very challenging indeed to work inwards. And when we look indeed to work inwards. And when we look indeed to work inwards. And when we look outwards again, I take move it as a outwards again, I take move it as a outwards again, I take move it as a company that for the last decade has company that for the last decade has company that for the last decade has been creating and forging partnerships been creating and forging partnerships been creating and forging partnerships with hundreds of partners. And when you with hundreds of partners. And when you with hundreds of partners. And when you forge close partnerships with other forge close partnerships with other forge close partnerships with other players, players, players, the management of this process becomes the management of this process becomes the management of this process becomes very complex. And our partners can also very complex. And our partners can also very complex. And our partners can also be split into two, divided into two. be split into two, divided into two. be split into two, divided into two. Most of them supported us, understood Most of them supported us, understood Most of them supported us, understood our situation, continued to work with us our situation, continued to work with us our situation, continued to work with us very closely. But some we saw that we very closely. But some we saw that we very closely. But some we saw that we were going into this process where were going into this process where were going into this process where transactions and deals are being stopped transactions and deals are being stopped transactions and deals are being stopped and partnerships are stopping and we and partnerships are stopping and we and partnerships are stopping and we took them one by one. We had to deal took them one by one. We had to deal took them one by one. We had to deal with it. We realized we had to manage it with it. We realized we had to manage it with it. We realized we had to manage it and contend with it and it'll pass and and contend with it and it'll pass and and contend with it and it'll pass and hopefully by the end of the war we will hopefully by the end of the war we will hopefully by the end of the war we will have a long list of partners and have a long list of partners and have a long list of partners and customers that we'll have to do recovery customers that we'll have to do recovery customers that we'll have to do recovery with. But it's one of the things that we with. But it's one of the things that we with. But it's one of the things that we just have to realize and it's where just have to realize and it's where just have to realize and it's where we're at and that's what we did. So how we're at and that's what we did. So how we're at and that's what we did. So how did you steer this change? What was the did you steer this change? What was the did you steer this change? What was the change in trajectory for you to be able change in trajectory for you to be able change in trajectory for you to be able to continue these challenges? So you to continue these challenges? So you to continue these challenges? So you changed some of your business. Move it changed some of your business. Move it changed some of your business. Move it has has has activity activity activity uh selling tickets in countries in uh selling tickets in countries in uh selling tickets in countries in Europe. So we worked on a very intense Europe. So we worked on a very intense Europe. So we worked on a very intense campaign with one of the biggest actors campaign with one of the biggest actors campaign with one of the biggest actors in Europe. And this campaign in Europe. And this campaign in Europe. And this campaign we invested hundreds of thousands of we invested hundreds of thousands of we invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in it. And one bright morning it dollars in it. And one bright morning it dollars in it. And one bright morning it had to be on all the billboards in the had to be on all the billboards in the had to be on all the billboards in the same city selling tickets through Move same city selling tickets through Move same city selling tickets through Move It, a really close partnership. And It, a really close partnership. And It, a really close partnership. And suddenly on a Saturday morning I get a suddenly on a Saturday morning I get a suddenly on a Saturday morning I get a phone call from one of those local phone call from one of those local phone call from one of those local players saying, "Listen guys, tomorrow players saying, "Listen guys, tomorrow players saying, "Listen guys, tomorrow there's a rage day and you are being there's a rage day and you are being there's a rage day and you are being painted as an Israeli app. So probably painted as an Israeli app. So probably painted as an Israeli app. So probably most of the screens, most of the most of the screens, most of the most of the screens, most of the billboards will be shattered. There'll billboards will be shattered. There'll billboards will be shattered. There'll be lots of noise. So we have to stop." be lots of noise. So we have to stop." be lots of noise. So we have to stop." So okay, we understood, we managed it. So okay, we understood, we managed it. So okay, we understood, we managed it. We said, "Okay, we won't do it. We'll We said, "Okay, we won't do it. We'll We said, "Okay, we won't do it. We'll let this pass. It'll take a week or two let this pass. It'll take a week or two let this pass. It'll take a week or two or three. Things will calm down and or three. Things will calm down and or three. Things will calm down and we'll be back." And that's what we did. we'll be back." And that's what we did. we'll be back." And that's what we did. We navigated the transaction elsewhere. We navigated the transaction elsewhere. We navigated the transaction elsewhere. We realized that in those countries at We realized that in those countries at We realized that in those countries at that time we were not able to be active that time we were not able to be active that time we were not able to be active and in some of these countries we're and in some of these countries we're and in some of these countries we're still inactive because of that. You have still inactive because of that. You have still inactive because of that. You have to be able to manage your business to to be able to manage your business to to be able to manage your business to understand where to push more, where to understand where to push more, where to understand where to push more, where to push less and ultimately to work through push less and ultimately to work through push less and ultimately to work through it. I have no doubt that the Israeli it. I have no doubt that the Israeli it. I have no doubt that the Israeli companies are winning on an companies are winning on an companies are winning on an international level when they can international level when they can international level when they can compete with fair terms. But compete with fair terms. But compete with fair terms. But unfortunately you have to overcome the unfortunately you have to overcome the unfortunately you have to overcome the terms that were not fair. So Gal, what terms that were not fair. So Gal, what terms that were not fair. So Gal, what kind of changes have you been through in kind of changes have you been through in kind of changes have you been through in the last two years? the last two years? the last two years? >> Well, first of all, it's hard to analyze >> Well, first of all, it's hard to analyze >> Well, first of all, it's hard to analyze the last two years as you know just one the last two years as you know just one the last two years as you know just one unit. There were many ups and downs. Let unit. There were many ups and downs. Let unit. There were many ups and downs. Let me talk about three trends that have me talk about three trends that have me talk about three trends that have affected us. So there was the war affected us. So there was the war affected us. So there was the war and they talked about three months and and they talked about three months and and they talked about three months and six months and the very pessimists six months and the very pessimists six months and the very pessimists talked about two years but what's talked about two years but what's talked about two years but what's happening now is not exactly anything happening now is not exactly anything happening now is not exactly anything that was in anyone's mind. there was that was in anyone's mind. there was that was in anyone's mind. there was this one side of things on the Israeli this one side of things on the Israeli this one side of things on the Israeli part of the company and we've been a part of the company and we've been a part of the company and we've been a global company for many years but in global company for many years but in global company for many years but in 2023 to realize that you're going into 2023 to realize that you're going into 2023 to realize that you're going into this event and it's not the six day war this event and it's not the six day war this event and it's not the six day war or some sort of or some sort of or some sort of uh event that you know that the timeline uh event that you know that the timeline uh event that you know that the timeline of it and the other part is that due to of it and the other part is that due to of it and the other part is that due to political situation political situation political situation uh in the market that we were in uh in the market that we were in uh in the market that we were in the market was kind of going So Trump the market was kind of going So Trump the market was kind of going So Trump and his and his tariffs and all the CEOs and his and his tariffs and all the CEOs and his and his tariffs and all the CEOs around the world in the industrial around the world in the industrial around the world in the industrial companies gathered and said in the next companies gathered and said in the next companies gathered and said in the next 6 months we're not going to buy 6 months we're not going to buy 6 months we're not going to buy anything. We don't know what's anything. We don't know what's anything. We don't know what's happening. We didn't understand happening. We didn't understand happening. We didn't understand anything. Maybe the production is moving anything. Maybe the production is moving anything. Maybe the production is moving to the United States. Maybe they're to the United States. Maybe they're to the United States. Maybe they're going back. So for the next 6 months going back. So for the next 6 months going back. So for the next 6 months we're not approving any deals over $2 we're not approving any deals over $2 we're not approving any deals over $2 million for any technology because we million for any technology because we million for any technology because we don't understand if we need to build the don't understand if we need to build the don't understand if we need to build the factories here now or there or continue factories here now or there or continue factories here now or there or continue distributed. So the geopolitical distributed. So the geopolitical distributed. So the geopolitical situation and also AI AI that was the

situation and also AI AI that was the situation and also AI AI that was the third thing entering into a into the third thing entering into a into the third thing entering into a into the factories and within the three trends factories and within the three trends factories and within the three trends trends we had to juggle we had to trends we had to juggle we had to trends we had to juggle we had to understand what we're doing and understand what we're doing and understand what we're doing and just changing the company strategy and just changing the company strategy and just changing the company strategy and the entire tactics some of it was the entire tactics some of it was the entire tactics some of it was redistribution of the business and redistribution of the business and redistribution of the business and thinking about I mean there were some thinking about I mean there were some thinking about I mean there were some customers who asked us to sign that we customers who asked us to sign that we customers who asked us to sign that we are against the war here's a form are against the war here's a form are against the war here's a form and I'm like What? What? What does this and I'm like What? What? What does this and I'm like What? What? What does this mean? I don't even know how to deal with mean? I don't even know how to deal with mean? I don't even know how to deal with this. What does this mean? How how do I this. What does this mean? How how do I this. What does this mean? How how do I even I mean we have high ranking IDF even I mean we have high ranking IDF even I mean we have high ranking IDF offices on our team. How can we sign offices on our team. How can we sign offices on our team. How can we sign this? What are we going to do about it? this? What are we going to do about it? this? What are we going to do about it? >> So we had to kind of rethink things and >> So we had to kind of rethink things and >> So we had to kind of rethink things and to shift to sustainable growth rather to shift to sustainable growth rather to shift to sustainable growth rather than the hyperrowth that we were in than the hyperrowth that we were in than the hyperrowth that we were in before. So it happened a little before before. So it happened a little before before. So it happened a little before but it really has been happening the but it really has been happening the but it really has been happening the last two years. So we did this shift in last two years. So we did this shift in last two years. So we did this shift in business and we grew in a more business and we grew in a more business and we grew in a more sustainable way so that the company will sustainable way so that the company will sustainable way so that the company will go to profitability quicker and will go to profitability quicker and will go to profitability quicker and will still continue to grow. We actually still continue to grow. We actually still continue to grow. We actually did some fundraising. We we raised $80 did some fundraising. We we raised $80 did some fundraising. We we raised $80 million in order to complete this million in order to complete this million in order to complete this transition. We needed a buffer. We transition. We needed a buffer. We transition. We needed a buffer. We changed some of the executives and we changed some of the executives and we changed some of the executives and we built another site in India because we built another site in India because we built another site in India because we couldn't support our development only couldn't support our development only couldn't support our development only being in Israel. 40% of the team was on being in Israel. 40% of the team was on being in Israel. 40% of the team was on reserve duty reserve duty reserve duty and others whose partners or child or and others whose partners or child or and others whose partners or child or someone else in the family was also on someone else in the family was also on someone else in the family was also on reserve duty. So that reached about 60% reserve duty. So that reached about 60% reserve duty. So that reached about 60% of the team. Someone of the team. Someone of the team. Someone was away for long periods of time, five was away for long periods of time, five was away for long periods of time, five rounds, six rounds and also the exchange rounds, six rounds and also the exchange rounds, six rounds and also the exchange rate, the US dollar two shekele exchange rate, the US dollar two shekele exchange rate, the US dollar two shekele exchange rate. So we had a site in India. We also rate. So we had a site in India. We also rate. So we had a site in India. We also changed many people in the leadership. changed many people in the leadership. changed many people in the leadership. Some of us as entrepreneurs stepped back Some of us as entrepreneurs stepped back Some of us as entrepreneurs stepped back from the day-to-day management and from the day-to-day management and from the day-to-day management and became and started to think more became and started to think more became and started to think more innovatively because we figured that if innovatively because we figured that if innovatively because we figured that if the company is only going to be in the company is only going to be in the company is only going to be in operations, it'll be very hard for us to operations, it'll be very hard for us to operations, it'll be very hard for us to function. So these are very hard complex function. So these are very hard complex function. So these are very hard complex processes and you really come face to processes and you really come face to processes and you really come face to face with your values and decide where face with your values and decide where face with your values and decide where you go. Mateo, did you also have to you go. Mateo, did you also have to you go. Mateo, did you also have to contend with purity tests during the war contend with purity tests during the war contend with purity tests during the war while the entire company was fighting on while the entire company was fighting on while the entire company was fighting on the war front? Well, for us, I can say the war front? Well, for us, I can say the war front? Well, for us, I can say it was very clearcut two events. First, October 8th, so to two events. First, October 8th, so to speak, understanding where we are, speak, understanding where we are, speak, understanding where we are, realizing where we are in Israel, realizing where we are in Israel, realizing where we are in Israel, realizing that you can't be complacent realizing that you can't be complacent realizing that you can't be complacent in the defense industry in any way. And in the defense industry in any way. And in the defense industry in any way. And the second thing was the AI revolution the second thing was the AI revolution the second thing was the AI revolution that from what we understood and extend it's not just a competitive area it's not just a competitive area business-wise that our rivals are trying business-wise that our rivals are trying business-wise that our rivals are trying to use everything they can in order to to use everything they can in order to to use everything they can in order to do what they need to do and that we need do what they need to do and that we need do what they need to do and that we need to be on the forefront of technology and to be on the forefront of technology and to be on the forefront of technology and thankfully Israel has a great advantage thankfully Israel has a great advantage thankfully Israel has a great advantage in that respect. on one hand, but on the in that respect. on one hand, but on the in that respect. on one hand, but on the other hand, as we can see now on the other hand, as we can see now on the other hand, as we can see now on the northern border, in many respects, in many respects, the technology is still a little more the technology is still a little more the technology is still a little more forward, more advanced than we know with forward, more advanced than we know with forward, more advanced than we know with robotics. Robots are capable of more robotics. Robots are capable of more robotics. Robots are capable of more than the IDF is using them for, the than the IDF is using them for, the than the IDF is using them for, the customers are using them for, the market customers are using them for, the market customers are using them for, the market is still very conservative, but as at is still very conservative, but as at is still very conservative, but as at extend, it was very clear-cut for us. We extend, it was very clear-cut for us. We extend, it was very clear-cut for us. We had to take had to take had to take the concept of taking people, replacing the concept of taking people, replacing the concept of taking people, replacing people on the battlefield with as many people on the battlefield with as many people on the battlefield with as many scenarios scenarios scenarios and to really go full force with it. And and to really go full force with it. And and to really go full force with it. And we've been focused on that ever since. we've been focused on that ever since. we've been focused on that ever since. Maybe we won't need to draft the Heredes Maybe we won't need to draft the Heredes Maybe we won't need to draft the Heredes if robots can replace them on the if robots can replace them on the if robots can replace them on the battlefield. So, what's been happening battlefield. So, what's been happening battlefield. So, what's been happening with you the last two years? How have with you the last two years? How have with you the last two years? How have you overcome the challenges? Well, I you overcome the challenges? Well, I you overcome the challenges? Well, I share everything and agree to everything share everything and agree to everything share everything and agree to everything that my friends here have said with when that my friends here have said with when that my friends here have said with when it comes to October 7th and everything it comes to October 7th and everything it comes to October 7th and everything that we experienced over the last couple that we experienced over the last couple that we experienced over the last couple of years. We really had to do many of years. We really had to do many of years. We really had to do many adaptations. I don't think there was adaptations. I don't think there was adaptations. I don't think there was like a magic potion, a magic formula as like a magic potion, a magic formula as like a magic potion, a magic formula as to how to contend our company. We have a to how to contend our company. We have a to how to contend our company. We have a hardwarebased solution. At the time, we hardwarebased solution. At the time, we hardwarebased solution. At the time, we still had Israeli vendors. And as Gal still had Israeli vendors. And as Gal still had Israeli vendors. And as Gal said, when you have a hardwarebased said, when you have a hardwarebased said, when you have a hardwarebased solution, you need to see how you can solution, you need to see how you can solution, you need to see how you can make magic out of nothing in order to make magic out of nothing in order to make magic out of nothing in order to really make sure that you continue to really make sure that you continue to really make sure that you continue to manufacture and continue to sell. And we manufacture and continue to sell. And we manufacture and continue to sell. And we found alternatives. And now the system found alternatives. And now the system found alternatives. And now the system production is that's mass production. production is that's mass production. production is that's mass production. It's mostly in the United States, but It's mostly in the United States, but It's mostly in the United States, but it's something we had to contend with. it's something we had to contend with. it's something we had to contend with. And as Gal said is the whole world of And as Gal said is the whole world of And as Gal said is the whole world of tariffs. tariffs. tariffs. Ultimately, components come from around Ultimately, components come from around Ultimately, components come from around the world. and you have to deal with the world. and you have to deal with the world. and you have to deal with your manufacturer that has to pay the your manufacturer that has to pay the your manufacturer that has to pay the cost and there too you have to find cost and there too you have to find cost and there too you have to find alternatives and I can say that in the alternatives and I can say that in the alternatives and I can say that in the context of the war context of the war context of the war one thing was very clear and we could one thing was very clear and we could one thing was very clear and we could see that when you're a global company see that when you're a global company see that when you're a global company and when you have a very big Israeli and when you have a very big Israeli and when you have a very big Israeli site and a very big US branch resilience site and a very big US branch resilience site and a very big US branch resilience people have here is something you don't people have here is something you don't people have here is something you don't find anywhere an employee that goes on find anywhere an employee that goes on find anywhere an employee that goes on Zoom and during the Zoom there's a siren Zoom and during the Zoom there's a siren Zoom and during the Zoom there's a siren and they run to the safe room and they and they run to the safe room and they and they run to the safe room and they tell the people in the other the Zoom tell the people in the other the Zoom tell the people in the other the Zoom just wait five minutes, we'll be right just wait five minutes, we'll be right just wait five minutes, we'll be right back. And they come back five minutes, back. And they come back five minutes, back. And they come back five minutes, 10 minutes. No, no, you're right. The 10 minutes. No, no, you're right. The 10 minutes. No, no, you're right. The home front will be upset with me. But home front will be upset with me. But home front will be upset with me. But that's something that's really just so that's something that's really just so that's something that's really just so unique to us. unique to us. unique to us. And I want to touch upon one more thing And I want to touch upon one more thing And I want to touch upon one more thing as well. The matter of AI in the last as well. The matter of AI in the last as well. The matter of AI in the last two years, it's really accelerated. And two years, it's really accelerated. And two years, it's really accelerated. And I think that the dynamics have changed I think that the dynamics have changed I think that the dynamics have changed between the world of production and between the world of production and between the world of production and development and the product world. In development and the product world. In development and the product world. In the past in development, we had to the past in development, we had to the past in development, we had to characterize. We had to see how to build characterize. We had to see how to build characterize. We had to see how to build things and it took a lot of time and a things and it took a lot of time and a things and it took a lot of time and a lot of money. And now it's something lot of money. And now it's something lot of money. And now it's something that's quite quick and quite cheap. And that's quite quick and quite cheap. And that's quite quick and quite cheap. And now the bottleneck has become the now the bottleneck has become the now the bottleneck has become the product because there are so many product because there are so many product because there are so many opportunities that we can already opportunities that we can already opportunities that we can already implement. implement. implement. So that's what we've tried to do over So that's what we've tried to do over So that's what we've tried to do over the last two years. I want to ask you a the last two years. I want to ask you a the last two years. I want to ask you a question about a challenge that perhaps question about a challenge that perhaps question about a challenge that perhaps you talk about as something obvious. you talk about as something obvious. you talk about as something obvious. within all of these struggles and within all of these struggles and within all of these struggles and challenges, the tariffs, the AI, and challenges, the tariffs, the AI, and challenges, the tariffs, the AI, and everything else and the war on October everything else and the war on October everything else and the war on October 7th that you've all actually made this 7th that you've all actually made this 7th that you've all actually made this shift from startup to company, proper shift from startup to company, proper shift from startup to company, proper company, and it's a big cultural change. company, and it's a big cultural change. company, and it's a big cultural change. What was the hardest part for you from What was the hardest part for you from What was the hardest part for you from in the transition from startup to in the transition from startup to in the transition from startup to company? company? company? Well, first of all, I think that move it

Well, first of all, I think that move it Well, first of all, I think that move it moved from startup to company in 2020. moved from startup to company in 2020. moved from startup to company in 2020. We were bought by Intel under the We were bought by Intel under the We were bought by Intel under the umbrella of Mobileite and that de facto umbrella of Mobileite and that de facto umbrella of Mobileite and that de facto was the process that actually changed was the process that actually changed was the process that actually changed our company's status and as the our company's status and as the our company's status and as the executive as the leadership we were executive as the leadership we were executive as the leadership we were quite worried about how to manage within quite worried about how to manage within quite worried about how to manage within this and one or two weeks after the this and one or two weeks after the this and one or two weeks after the acquisition we sat with CEO of mobile acquisition we sat with CEO of mobile acquisition we sat with CEO of mobile Ammon Shashua and we discussed how to Ammon Shashua and we discussed how to Ammon Shashua and we discussed how to keep going how can we manage ourselves keep going how can we manage ourselves keep going how can we manage ourselves under such a huge corporation operation under such a huge corporation operation under such a huge corporation operation and not lose the ability to manage and not lose the ability to manage and not lose the ability to manage ourselves as a startup because that's ourselves as a startup because that's ourselves as a startup because that's how what brought us thus far and Amnan how what brought us thus far and Amnan how what brought us thus far and Amnan said look I was where you are five six said look I was where you are five six said look I was where you are five six years ago I was also bought by Intel and years ago I was also bought by Intel and years ago I was also bought by Intel and one of the things that we realized one of the things that we realized one of the things that we realized together with Intel is that okay guys together with Intel is that okay guys together with Intel is that okay guys you bought something this thing is you bought something this thing is you bought something this thing is working let it keep working enjoy it working let it keep working enjoy it working let it keep working enjoy it they know what they're doing and that's they know what they're doing and that's they know what they're doing and that's exactly what happened at the end of the exactly what happened at the end of the exactly what happened at the end of the day move it day move it day move it got under got under got under Mobilei and Intel the ability to Mobilei and Intel the ability to Mobilei and Intel the ability to continue being autonomous and continue being autonomous and continue being autonomous and independent. We are conducting ourselves independent. We are conducting ourselves independent. We are conducting ourselves as a company on our own. And if you're as a company on our own. And if you're as a company on our own. And if you're asking what it's like to transition from asking what it's like to transition from asking what it's like to transition from startup to company, I still tell my startup to company, I still tell my startup to company, I still tell my people we're a startup and all for all people we're a startup and all for all people we're a startup and all for all intents and purposes, continue to be intents and purposes, continue to be intents and purposes, continue to be agile, continue to try things. If we agile, continue to try things. If we agile, continue to try things. If we start being a kind of cumbersome, start being a kind of cumbersome, start being a kind of cumbersome, clunky, bureaucratic company, we will clunky, bureaucratic company, we will clunky, bureaucratic company, we will not be able to produce. So we need to not be able to produce. So we need to not be able to produce. So we need to continue being with a startup mindset. continue being with a startup mindset. continue being with a startup mindset. Gal, how did you save yourselves from Gal, how did you save yourselves from Gal, how did you save yourselves from the transition to something that is the transition to something that is the transition to something that is clunky and uh full of red tape? Not sure clunky and uh full of red tape? Not sure clunky and uh full of red tape? Not sure we did save ourselves actually. I think we did save ourselves actually. I think we did save ourselves actually. I think that we did that we did that we did want to grow and want to put on a suit want to grow and want to put on a suit want to grow and want to put on a suit and we even have someone who can make a and we even have someone who can make a and we even have someone who can make a tie knot. I don't know how to do tie a tie knot. I don't know how to do tie a tie knot. I don't know how to do tie a knot, tie a tie, but it's important to knot, tie a tie, but it's important to knot, tie a tie, but it's important to be able to do that. And I think that the be able to do that. And I think that the be able to do that. And I think that the one thing that we needed one thing that we needed one thing that we needed was because we we remained independent, was because we we remained independent, was because we we remained independent, we had to adopt some things because we we had to adopt some things because we we had to adopt some things because we didn't want to remain in the bubble and didn't want to remain in the bubble and didn't want to remain in the bubble and say everything else is around us. There say everything else is around us. There say everything else is around us. There were all sorts of decisions that we had were all sorts of decisions that we had were all sorts of decisions that we had to make along the way and it's just like to make along the way and it's just like to make along the way and it's just like in around your 10th year, 11th year, in around your 10th year, 11th year, in around your 10th year, 11th year, 13th year, you're like a teenager. you 13th year, you're like a teenager. you 13th year, you're like a teenager. you deal with all sorts of difficulties and deal with all sorts of difficulties and deal with all sorts of difficulties and I think that at some point the trust I think that at some point the trust I think that at some point the trust moves from personal trust between people moves from personal trust between people moves from personal trust between people to trust in the system and really if you to trust in the system and really if you to trust in the system and really if you look at it politically then you have to look at it politically then you have to look at it politically then you have to go back to trusting people but basically go back to trusting people but basically go back to trusting people but basically you need to have a trust in the system you need to have a trust in the system you need to have a trust in the system where you realize the processes where you realize the processes where you realize the processes themselves are very robust and they themselves are very robust and they themselves are very robust and they allow you to just run on ahead because allow you to just run on ahead because allow you to just run on ahead because the process is amazing not because it the process is amazing not because it the process is amazing not because it doesn't exist because it's small enough doesn't exist because it's small enough doesn't exist because it's small enough and you could gather everybody and just and you could gather everybody and just and you could gather everybody and just kind of shake them but because the kind of shake them but because the kind of shake them but because the system really has its own triggers that system really has its own triggers that system really has its own triggers that build it and the decision are very build it and the decision are very build it and the decision are very transparent and they can really let you transparent and they can really let you transparent and they can really let you go out to everyone. And this transition go out to everyone. And this transition go out to everyone. And this transition from okay there are founders and you can from okay there are founders and you can from okay there are founders and you can trust them and we can look to them and trust them and we can look to them and trust them and we can look to them and wherever they go you know everyone wherever they go you know everyone wherever they go you know everyone follows them with their eyes but really follows them with their eyes but really follows them with their eyes but really you need to have trust in the system at you need to have trust in the system at you need to have trust in the system at that point. You need to know that the that point. You need to know that the that point. You need to know that the mechanism can really generate itself and mechanism can really generate itself and mechanism can really generate itself and can really generate innovation on its can really generate innovation on its can really generate innovation on its own and you can have some own and you can have some own and you can have some competitiveness in the company. Which competitiveness in the company. Which competitiveness in the company. Which team worked harder? Which team brought team worked harder? Which team brought team worked harder? Which team brought more you know value? And I think that more you know value? And I think that more you know value? And I think that really connects to what happened in move really connects to what happened in move really connects to what happened in move to really preserve a founders mentality to really preserve a founders mentality to really preserve a founders mentality in the company rather than founders who in the company rather than founders who in the company rather than founders who tell you what to do and to take the tell you what to do and to take the tell you what to do and to take the part. And I think that really was easier part. And I think that really was easier part. And I think that really was easier said than done. But when we did manage said than done. But when we did manage said than done. But when we did manage to do it, then we could really see the to do it, then we could really see the to do it, then we could really see the motion, the movement where you take this motion, the movement where you take this motion, the movement where you take this mass of several hundred people running mass of several hundred people running mass of several hundred people running along together, but also moves uh you along together, but also moves uh you along together, but also moves uh you know in a speed that can only allow know in a speed that can only allow know in a speed that can only allow startups to move left and right. And startups to move left and right. And startups to move left and right. And what about you? Were you able to kind of what about you? Were you able to kind of what about you? Were you able to kind of preserve the startup culture or did you preserve the startup culture or did you preserve the startup culture or did you become sort of institutionalized? become sort of institutionalized? become sort of institutionalized? Well, we really are waving the banner of Well, we really are waving the banner of Well, we really are waving the banner of running to innovation, of remaining running to innovation, of remaining running to innovation, of remaining cutting edge. That's really our essence cutting edge. That's really our essence cutting edge. That's really our essence here at Extend. The challenges are still here at Extend. The challenges are still here at Extend. The challenges are still before us. We're going to go public in before us. We're going to go public in before us. We're going to go public in just over a month. Congratulations. just over a month. Congratulations. just over a month. Congratulations. Thank you. And really the way we see the Thank you.

I well obviously as the company grows I well obviously as the company grows I well obviously as the company grows and develops and brings more contracts and develops and brings more contracts and develops and brings more contracts and grows in terms of the headcount it and grows in terms of the headcount it and grows in terms of the headcount it becomes a challenge but I think that the becomes a challenge but I think that the becomes a challenge but I think that the DNA of combat mode that when you need to DNA of combat mode that when you need to DNA of combat mode that when you need to get on board everyone's on board is get on board everyone's on board is get on board everyone's on board is something that we have managed to something that we have managed to something that we have managed to preserve and I do want to say that it's preserve and I do want to say that it's preserve and I do want to say that it's very challenging especially when there very challenging especially when there very challenging especially when there are two large branches both in terms of are two large branches both in terms of are two large branches both in terms of the cultural gap between them and how to the cultural gap between them and how to the cultural gap between them and how to bridge it to preserve something that has bridge it to preserve something that has bridge it to preserve something that has a startup DNA at its core and we always a startup DNA at its core and we always a startup DNA at its core and we always say that we have a kind of unwritten ten say that we have a kind of unwritten ten say that we have a kind of unwritten ten commandments and when you need to do commandments and when you need to do commandments and when you need to do something everyone gets on board and I something everyone gets on board and I something everyone gets on board and I think that's something that we have been think that's something that we have been think that's something that we have been able to preserve and obviously when you able to preserve and obviously when you able to preserve and obviously when you grow when you scale you have to adapt grow when you scale you have to adapt grow when you scale you have to adapt things because the technology changes things because the technology changes things because the technology changes and the market changes and so does the and the market changes and so does the and the market changes and so does the business model but it always becomes a business model but it always becomes a business model but it always becomes a challenge that you have to contend with challenge that you have to contend with challenge that you have to contend with but we're about to wrap up actually but we're about to wrap up actually but we're about to wrap up actually we're a bit over the time so please we're a bit over the time so please we're a bit over the time so please answer very quickly the next question. answer very quickly the next question. answer very quickly the next question. We have finalists here in the audience. We have finalists here in the audience. We have finalists here in the audience. When you won the Atlas Award and when When you won the Atlas Award and when When you won the Atlas Award and when you look back at companies in their

you look back at companies in their you look back at companies in their early stages, what is the one trademark, early stages, what is the one trademark, early stages, what is the one trademark, the one moment that makes you say, you the one moment that makes you say, you the one moment that makes you say, you know what, this company has the know what, this company has the know what, this company has the potential to become really big potential to become really big potential to become really big briefly, entrepreneurs, briefly, entrepreneurs, briefly, entrepreneurs, we are we are we are looking at many companies all the time. looking at many companies all the time. looking at many companies all the time. the companies that we see entrepreneurs the companies that we see entrepreneurs the companies that we see entrepreneurs in that are able to look deeper, in that are able to look deeper, in that are able to look deeper, stronger into the vision with great stronger into the vision with great stronger into the vision with great passion. These are the companies that passion. These are the companies that passion. These are the companies that have greater success potential. But I have greater success potential. But I have greater success potential. But I think that we really have to put that think that we really have to put that think that we really have to put that side by side alongside that passion side by side alongside that passion side by side alongside that passion because sometimes entrepreneurs fall in because sometimes entrepreneurs fall in because sometimes entrepreneurs fall in love with the idea. They fall in love love with the idea. They fall in love love with the idea. They fall in love with it and they go to all kinds of with it and they go to all kinds of with it and they go to all kinds of places and get to so many points because places and get to so many points because places and get to so many points because they're so passionate they can't make they're so passionate they can't make they're so passionate they can't make the adjustment. entrepreneurs that are the adjustment. entrepreneurs that are the adjustment. entrepreneurs that are also able to pivot, also able to pivot, also able to pivot, you know, on the way to make changes in you know, on the way to make changes in you know, on the way to make changes in the market, that will be a marker of the market, that will be a marker of the market, that will be a marker of success because if we see the success because if we see the success because if we see the entrepreneurs that are hungry and able entrepreneurs that are hungry and able entrepreneurs that are hungry and able to make a change, a combination of both to make a change, a combination of both to make a change, a combination of both these things, which is quite unique, these things, which is quite unique, these things, which is quite unique, that will create a very interesting that will create a very interesting that will create a very interesting company. >> I agree.

It's very little if you need to. It's very little if you need to. It's very important for the company to have its important for the company to have its important for the company to have its team really united and a solution as team really united and a solution as team really united and a solution as we've said sometimes we need to pivot. we've said sometimes we need to pivot. we've said sometimes we need to pivot. Sometimes we need to change what we Sometimes we need to change what we Sometimes we need to change what we attack and how and to do it with courage attack and how and to do it with courage attack and how and to do it with courage and also in terms of this pivot the and also in terms of this pivot the and also in terms of this pivot the timing what is the timing for each thing timing what is the timing for each thing timing what is the timing for each thing and to try and you know direct yourself and to try and you know direct yourself and to try and you know direct yourself there.
