18X Summit Day

​Following months of intensive acceleration, which included a significant and unexpected period in the reserves, we are excited to showcase our first cohort.

​We are honored to invite you to our Summit Day, where you will meet the reservist-led ventures shaping the future of the Start-Up Nation.

​Since launching in May 2025, our mission has resonated deeply within the Israeli ecosystem. We have seen over 1,090 IDF reservists join the program, gaining access to a cutting-edge, curated learning platform.

​This Summit Day celebrates their resilience and their contribution to the future of the Start-Up Nation.
