Dedi Haziza is the CEO and Founder of NexTenna, an Israeli company building the antenna technology behind the next generation of satellite internet. As networks like Starlink, OneWeb, and Amazon’s upcoming Leo constellation race to connect the whole planet, NexTenna has developed a terminal that uses a fraction of the power and cost of existing options, and unlike closed networks, works with any satellite system out there.

Avraham sat down with Dedi to discuss how he built the core technology from the ground up, why he moved the company back to Israel after years at Google, the tradeoffs of building deep tech here, what’s next for NexTenna, the future of data centers in space, tips for startup founders and much more.
