Fifth Week at Thomson Reuters

In my fifth week here at Thomson Reuters I worked on retrieving information regarding Israeli companies’ initial public offering (IPO), which can also be referred to as an “offering” made by the company that issues common stock or shares to the public for the first time. For those who don’e know, IPOs are usually issued by small or young companies that are in need of capital in order to expand, in addition to large privately-owned companies that wish to become publicly traded.

In addition, this week I had to go back and add a few additional entries to the original list of companies for which I had to conduct research on at the beginning of my fellowship, regarding the financial reporting and analysis methods used by Israeli companies. This finalized list is now going to be embedded into Thomson Reuters’ online data base.

Moreover, later during the week me and the rest of the Tamid Group here in Israel attended a business dinner at the rooftop outdoor restaurant of the Mamilla Hotel in Jeruslaem. At the dinner we had the pleasure to meet with Mr. Elie Wurtman – General Partner of Benchmark Capital together with his associate Judith Phillips and GreenRoad’s Founder & Chief of Safety, Mr. Hod Fleishman. The dinner itself went great, and much like the dinner we had with Mr. Jonathan Medved and his family, we once again, had the opportunity to promote and  discuss many of Tamid’s goals and aspirations.

Later on that night, we decided to once again enjoy the pub/club scene in Jerusalem and ended up in several spots across town.
