What was the initial spark that got you into startups?

Yeah, so first of all, I was coding since I was 13, and I always like had this knack for computers and kind of, well, I guess I was a geeky kid. That's the truth, right? So let's just put it out there. And yeah, and then I went to the IDF, the Israeli Defense Force, and I was again this geeky kid and nobody knew what was happening and inside the IDF, folks started hacking stuff. Whoa. Like, basically outta like hackers, mostly criminal, not necessarily like, you know, more on the security, like safety side of things. And nobody knew what to do about it. And I was a military criminal investigator. So that was kind of the first, I guess, sort of entrepreneurial thing that I did was like, I was tasked with building the anti-computer crime military investigation unit inside the army.
