INVITE-ONLY • LIMITED CAPACITY

Israel Tech Club

A venture investing club for investors seeking to back startups, founders, and innovations emerging from "The Startup Nation."

The Israel Tech Club is an invite-only venture investing group for startup investors seeking curated exposure to the innovations emerging from Israel’s tech ecosystem — i.e., Israeli companies and founders, including those operating outside Israel.

The club is selective and focused by design, delivering a high-caliber, peer-to-peer forum for reviewing and discussing compelling private company deals across stages and sectors.

Members will have opportunities to collaboratively review live deals with a group of accomplished peers and invest real capital alongside existing Alumni Ventures funds — deals are only shown to the group once they have passed Alumni Ventures’ rigorous diligence process.

While social interaction and venture education will be a natural byproduct, the primary objective of the club is investment — specifically deploying capital into the best companies that “The Startup Nation” has to offer.
