"A lot of the practices and the technology that we Rebel Pro Instructor Claims He Can used in the army are used today at Stylit to Add Up To 3o Yards to Your Swing! address the problems we are aiming to solve in fashion," said Yaniv Nissim, a former 8200 programmer who designed the company's algorithm by combining the wisdom of former army tech geeks with fashion industry stylists. 'The technology is mainly machine-learning technology. It's how to take huge amounts of information and from that to understand users' behaviour." Big data predictive algorithms developed to prevent enemy attacks also power Any.Do, one of the world's most popular productivity apps for mobile devices.

Chief executive Noa Levy and the three co-founders all served in elite IDF tech units. 'Trying to make sense of the patterns you find when you study a lot of data and turning that into actionable information — that's the guiding principle that we have in Rompr and also something that is very important in those technological units," she says. "It's more the mindset than the actual technology. Then you can go out and do it on a completely different series of tasks, using the same methodology." Until a decade ago, Unit 8200 was a secret. Then it starred in the book Start-Up Nation, which chronicled Israel's emergence as a hi-tech powerhouse with more venture capital investment per person than anywhere in the world and the largest number of Nasdaq-listed companies after the US and China. Three years ago, 8200 alumni decided to emerge from the shadows and offer their expertise to other young Israeli entrepreneurs. The result was the 8200 entrepreneurship and innovation support program (EISP), a five- month hi-tech incubator in which unit alumni volunteer to mentor early-stage startups. So far, 22 of them have received funding totalling $21m (£13.5m) and employ 2OO people, joining the 230,000 employees of Israel's 5,000 tech companies that earn $25bn a year — a quarter of Israel's total exports. EFT&R1_00416275 EFTA01950296 Nir Lempert, a reserve colonel, former deputy commander of Unit 8200 and chairman of its alumni association, says the unit handpicks the brightest teenagers in the country then trains them to solve problems in multidisciplinary teams using methods usually associated with business, not battles. They are encouraged to think differently. "The central mission of the unit is to save lives, to prevent terror and other attacks," says Lempert. "We teach our people that the mission is so important that there is no possibility of failure." The 8200 legend attracts increasing numbers of young Israelis into IDF tech units. Mamram, the main IT support unit of the IDF, now offers a six- month pre-army course at its headquarters base in a suburban street on the outskirts of Tel Aviv. From dawn into the night, recruits study programming skills, teamwork, project management and - most important — how to be creative. It's the ultimate startup boot camp.
