The evening will feature a Fireside Chat with Israel Ganot (https://www.linkedin.com/in/iganot/?ppe=1), Managing Director for MassChallenge Israel, the "world’s most startup-friendly accelerator". Founded in Boston in 2010, MassChallenge (http://masschallenge.org/) uses competitions to identify the highest-impact startups and rewards them with a portion of several million dollars in equity-free cash. MassChallenge, a not-for-profit, helps entrepreneurs across any industry. Through MassChallenge’s global network of accelerators in Boston, the UK, Israel, Switzerland, Mexico and Texas, startups receive unrivaled access to corporate partners. To date, MassChallenge's 1,200 alumni have raised over $2 billion in funding, generated $900 million in revenue, and created 65,000 jobs.

We’ll talk with Israel about the evolution of the MassChallenge Israel program located in the bustling Machane Yehuda Market in Jerusalem. In its first two years, MassChallenge Israel has accelerated 100 companies. We’ll hear about his journey as a seasoned exec and entrepreneur in the eCommerce and mobile space who co-founded and was the CEO of Gazelle, the pioneer and leading consumer brand in mobile device reCommerce. During his tenure at Gazelle, Israel led the company from an idea to $100 million in revenue. We’ll also talk with Israel about the Jerusalem tech ecosystem, growing up in Israel, living in the States for 25 years and making the move back to Israel and launching MassChallenge Israel.

After the chat, there will be plenty of time for refreshments and networking with other attendees including MassChallenge Israel's Top 10 startups. (http://israel.masschallenge.org/press-release/masschallenge-israel-announces-top-10-startups-2017-class)
