OurCrowd VS Altstore

Don't get the purpose of this post but what kind of startup are we talking about? Different countries have different levels of ease for different types of startups. You can't start a successful startup in Israel if you're a Palestinian. Most of their tech startups are run by ex-IDF intelligence officers off of companies like ourcrowd.com and there is ethnic bias involved. The investors are American billionaires.
