Perception On Israel

BEFORE SCALE IS FROM 1-10 AFTER

Start-Up Nation Mentorship measures its impact on the Fellows’ opinion of their selected industry and Israel before the program.1 After working with their mentors for several months, SUNM Fellows are surveyed again on their perceptions of Israel. 2

On a scale out of 10, there is an increase in the opinion of the Fellows’ chosen industry, an increase in their perceptions of Israel, and an extremely high increase in readiness to engage with business in Israel. 3 On campus, there was an increase in willingness to join business organizations related to Israel.

OCTOBER ‘21 FALL RETREAT CAMPUS EVENT

In early October 2021, Start-Up Nation Mentorship Leadership and Campus teams gathered at the World Jewish Congress New York Headquarters for a three-day retreat centered around innovation, transferring information, inspiring others, immersive professional development, and discussing goals and strategies. The postretreat success delivered over 100 Fellows recruited within a month of the retreat. Guest speakers at the retreat include David Sable (CoFounder and Partner of DoAble), Max August (Founder of the Israel Summit), and Zvika Netter (CEO & Co-Founder of Innovid).

Campus Dinners

In March 2022, Judah Taub, the managing director of Hetz Ventures (Forbes 30 Under 30), spoke on Israel’s start-up ecosystem at Yale University. Students joined in-person and SUNM Fellows from across the country tuned into the conversation via Zoom. This event sparked an increase in SUNM’s recruiting success at Yale

Campus dinners were held with the cohorts of nonJewish SUNM Fellows to build relationships with their Israeli mentors and learn more about Israel in the context of their felds of interest. SUNM Campus Directors hosted the dinners at UC Berkeley, Yale, Duke, Vanderbilt, and Northwestern.

MAY WANG, YALE UNIVERSITY (JUNE 2022)

Anna is warm, friendly, and very approachable. We discussed work-life balance, the fulflling career and law, and how to explore different career paths. It was very inspiring to see somebody who was able to move beyond the conventional expectations of the legal industry, because I had been so worried that being a lawyer meant reading and writing extremely boring documents all day. Instead, Anna gets to sit in on exciting conversations, advise and counsel, and lend her lawyer hat perspective to diffcult challenges for her company. She is so generous with her time and has let me know that we will go ahead and set up monthly calls!

BRANDON LINDSEY, DUKE UNIVERSITY (JUNE 2022)

I learned what a position like mine [or the one I am seeking] would be in the real world. I learned from this how tech start-up heavy Israel. It’s just insane how many businesses are being started, and it seems to be a very exciting place! My mentor was able to share some important information, and I feel if I were to reach out again, he’d be more than happy to talk to me [...] I got more perspective…most of my mentors up to this point have been young people, maybe a year or two older than me, with a little bit of experience, but they don’t really know what’s going on. So, it was nice to hear from somebody who’s been in the feld for a while. Afterward, I was more encouraged to go into the feld I was most interested in.
