WilmerHale – Special Briefing on Israel’s start-up Ecosystem

February 6, 2024
9:30 am - 4:00 pm

Join us for an exciting in-person event at WilmerHale . The program will include senior representatives of the Israel Innovation, Representatives of the Israel Start-up ecosystems, the Economic Mission, and the Geshem Impact Fund.

We are thrilled to introduce Geshem, a new fund aimed at advancing innovation in Israel. The ongoing conflict in the Middle East has cast a challenging shadow over Israel’s dynamic startup landscape, particularly impacting promising seed-stage enterprises.

Amidst adversity, opportunity unfolds. Ten incubators in Israel have joined together with two U.S. pioneers in supporting start-ups in Israel and have created the Geshem Fund to back the best opportunities, threatened by the current situation.

The Fund will invest in a diverse portfolio of companies, from bioscience to energy to climate tech to agriculture and food. Investors participating in “Geshem” gain more than stakes in individual companies; they acquire a diversified risk model.

Funding from Geshem will be matched, in part, by the IIA (non-dilutive), and by the Incubator or one of its partners. Management fees and start-up costs of the Fund have been waived.

You will have the opportunity to learn more about this opportunity during breakfast.

The program will include senior representatives of the Israel Innovation Authority, Representatives of the Israel Start-up ecosystems, the Economic Mission, and the Geshem Impact Fund.

Continental Breakfast will be served
