In an interview with Calcalist CEO of HoneyBook Oz Alon discusses the challenges through 2020 and COVID19 lessons. "It was a year that taught us how to take risks. As a startup, you are expected to take risks, but you fear harming growth. Covid-19 taught us otherwise, "At a time such as this, an entrepreneur must be able to take risks they hadn’t planned to. The risks we took this year will change the future of our company."
