Alon Gilady: “What separates successful entrepreneurs from the unsuccessful is to keep on trying.”
In a conversation with Noa Eshed and Ronen Menipaz on the podcast Real Life Superpowers, Alon Gilady discusses his “impossible is nothing” mindset and much more.
“People are saying to me no all the time. I try to get new investors - I get 95% Noes," explained Alon Gilady on the Real Life Superpowers Podcast. "I don’t really take that to heart, I don’t really pay attention. I just know that I have a working product, I know that we have a valuable company and valuable technology, and we'll find the right person that is going to believe in what we do and is going to take the chance on what we do.
And I think what separates successful entrepreneurs from unsuccessful is, first of all, to listen, to adjust, but not only that, it’s to keep on trying.”

This episode features Alon Gilady. He’s a serial entrepreneur who is currently leading Renovai - his third technology startup.
He co-founded his first startup while studying for his BA in economics and philosophy. That venture was in the sports and entertainment collectibles industry. He was able to close licensing deals with brands such as FC Barcelona, NBA, and Disney, selling over 1.5M units through retailers in Europe and the USA such as Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, Tesco, and more.
In 2017 he co-founded a 3D-rendering studio with ten employees. The company created virtual reality experiences for architects and interior designers. Based on the knowledge and experience gained in this venture, the idea of Renovai was born with an ambitious mission: to empower online retailers with AI to make professional design and stylist services affordable and accessible for all.
Some of what’s discussed:
- His “impossible is nothing” mindset, and how he was able to “skip the line” and close deals with some of the world’s leading sports brands and retailers, with zero experience.
- His approach to achieving moonshot goals
- The power of persistence
- Where luck plays in
- Pro tips for cold outreach
- And much more!
