A Tech Founder Roundtable - From Equity to Impact: Engineering Israel’s Future with Afeka College in Tel Aviv
Join a select group of Israeli and pro-Israel tech founders in New York City for a private roundtable featuring Julia Diament (Recipient of Afeka College 2025 Distinguished Alumni Award and Principal AI Solutions Architect at Microsoft Security), Or Amir (Afeka College Class of 2016 and Founder of Amir Practical AI), and Professor Yossi Rosenwaks (President of Afeka Academic College of Engineering in Tel Aviv). Moderated by Guy Milhalter (Partner, Pearl Cohen Zedek Latzer Baratz), this gathering offers a unique opportunity to network and engage directly with fellow founders shaping Israel’s technological future while exploring a sophisticated, founder-oriented approach to philanthropy. Founders will be introduced to a streamlined, equity-based model—through A Good Option—for committing stock options and other private company equity to American Friends of Afeka, enabling meaningful philanthropic impact that will help build Israel’s next great engineering campus at Afeka College and play a direct role in engineering Israel’s future.
