Israel Defense TechFounders Club

Partnership - launch evening, 3 September 2026

Be in the room before everyone else is.

On the evening of 3 September we put Israel's next generation of defense tech founders in one room with a former head of the Mossad, a leading defense fund, and a founder who has already built one of these companies to scale. Our partners are the reason the evening happens, and they are in the room while it does.

What you are buying

Access to a room that is otherwise closed.

Every person present has been verified by email, by phone, and by a human who read their LinkedIn and their company before letting them in. There are no tyre-kickers, no students collecting swag, and no competing sponsors talking over you.

Founders

Pre-seed through Series A defense and dual-use founders, the majority technical, most of them building right now.

Operators

People leaving units, primes and research roles who will start the next wave of these companies.

Investors

Israeli and international funds who write cheques in this sector, invited alongside their portfolios.

Decision makers

The technical people who choose the cloud, the tooling and the suppliers their company grows on.

One thing we will not sell you: the list. Members' details are never passed to partners. What we can do is introduce you properly, in person, on the night - and to anyone who opts in afterwards.

Tiers

Four ways in.

Figures are for the launch evening. Annual partnership across the 2026-2027 series is available at a better rate - ask.

Straight answer

Where the money goes.

The club is free to its members and stays that way. Partnership money pays for the things that make a serious evening possible, and for the person who keeps the community alive between events.

What you are actually funding

Strengthen the founder community, and it builds stronger companies. Stronger companies mean a stronger economy, a stronger technology sector, and stronger national defense.

This is not a networking evening with a logo on it. It is early, deliberate investment in the people who will build the next decade of Israeli defense technology - and in being known to them before anyone else is.

01

The evening

Venue, security, AV and production, catering, and the costs of hosting speakers of this seniority properly.

02

A community lead

Vetting applications, running introductions, and keeping two groups active rather than silent. Today this is done by a founder at night. It should not be.

03

The series

Making the next evenings happen on a predictable cadence rather than whenever someone finds the budget.
