Startup Grind Tel Aviv is the home of Israel's tech founders, and has been since 2013.

Building a startup is a journey, and no one should walk it alone. Our chapter is a strong, connected ecosystem: a safe place where entrepreneurs find real friendships, people who genuinely want them to succeed, and the help, events and opportunities that move a founder forward.

Like-minded people, together.

Our community brings together tech founders at different stages of the journey and active investors who believe in them. As a member you can expect:

  • Monthly events built around real connections

  • Conversations with founders and investors you can actually learn from

  • Special moments and opportunities along the year, from pitch battles to our flagship Summer Party

  • A global community behind you, spanning hundreds of cities around the world

Our values: we believe in making friends, not contacts. We believe in giving first, not taking. We believe in helping others before helping yourself.

Get involved

Three ways in

Sponsor Startup Grind Tel Aviv. Put your brand in front of Israel's founder community and meet the next generation of Israeli tech.

Become an in-kind partner. Food and catering for our events, media, marketing and social media, photography and video editing, AI capabilities: support the community with what you do best and get exposure to it in return.

Join our volunteer team, the backbone of the chapter. Help with event operations and check-in, promote the community at events and across the ecosystem, and run our marketing and social media.

Made in Israel, growing worldwide.

Our logo wall celebrates startups founded in Israel that grew to the global market, bootstrapped or funded. They join as sponsors for a symbolic sum; our community learns from their founders, we share their stories with the global Startup Grind community, and they give back to the ecosystem where their journey began.
