"The second most important thing is really defining a category and having a large vision and eventually leading this category in a large market that keeps on growing," added Shamri Dahan. "And third of all is execution. Being able to demonstrate strong growth year on year but also being able to predict potential growth going forward. Having a solid pipeline. Predictability is really key in companies planning to go public."
