MEETING PROGRAM

As promised, the conference is just the beginning. We've put together a series of meetups with the top funds in Israel, alongside critical components of startup development like finance, legal, accelerators, and more.

We've arranged office hours dedicated to the combat founder community. Office hours offer a unique opportunity for you to consult personally with investors on just about anything: initial ideas, dilemmas in finding a co-founder, what they'd like to see in a strong validation process, their thoughts on... well, whatever you need advice on.

How to Make the Most of Conferences & Events

Events are important ways to get to know the ecosystem. Through them, you get to meet people and to lift your head out of your own startup to see what the wider ecosystem looks like.
