The Israeli tech ecosystem has entered a defining new chapter. After a period of intense recalibration, 2026 has arrived with a powerful resurgence of momentum. Capital is returning to Tel Aviv with vigor, but it is moving with a new level of selectivity. We have transitioned from an era of speculative growth into a period defined by high-conviction investing, where the focus has shifted toward technical defensibility, operational resilience, and mission-critical innovation. For early-stage and growth-stage founders, navigating this landscape requires more than a strong pitch; it requires a deep alignment with the refined mandates of the modern investment committee. The Value of the Briefing This session offers a rare, high-density exchange with a curated panel of professional investors representing the primary pillars of the current market. For an entrepreneur, the value lies in gaining an unfiltered perspective on the "Resilience Premium." You will gain insight into how professional allocators are evaluating risk, the new standards for capital efficiency, and the specific characteristics of the startups successfully securing high-quality rounds in 2026. This is an opportunity to move beyond the headlines and understand the tactical reality of fundraising in a sophisticated, fundamentals-first market. The Playbook Panel Lisa Cohen, Investment Director at Intel Capital: A seasoned leader in DeepTech and AI, Lisa manages a portfolio of high-complexity industry leaders including Buildots, proteanTecs, and Voyantis, bringing the essential strategic and corporate venture perspective. Yael Schiff, Vice President at Bessemer Venture Partners: Focusing on early-stage B2B SaaS, AI, and Cloud Infrastructure, Yael brings the rigorous "global playbook" perspective and operational insights from her background at Via and McKinsey. David Feldman, Principal at Flint Capital: A key bridge between the US and Israeli software markets, David has a track record of identifying future giants like Socure and WalkMe and understands how to position Israeli tech for global LPs. Stav Erez, General Partner at TeClub: One of the most connected figures in the Israeli ecosystem and a specialist in deep-tech venture creation, Stav knows exactly how to take a raw idea and turn it into an "innovation-dense" company that attracts follow-on funding. Who Will Be Attending? The room is designed to be an intersection of the ecosystem’s most ambitious leaders: Early-Stage Founders seeking to calibrate their strategy for Seed and Series A milestones. Growth-Stage Executives navigating the complexities of scaling in a disciplined capital environment. Strategic Innovators looking for early visibility into the sectors currently commanding global attention. Secure Your Seat This is a special, limited-capacity event curated to ensure high-quality networking and meaningful dialogue. In a market moving this quickly, the insights shared will be time-sensitive and highly practical. Due to the exclusive nature of the venue and the high demand for these sessions, places are strictly limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. We anticipate an overbooked house, do not wait to secure your registration.

**BUBBLES PURIM FESTIVAL -SUNSET TO SUNRISE** [כרטיסים מוזלים במכירה מוקדמת](https://go-out.co/event/shalvatabubblesfest?ref=a3fi92ff02) **28\.02\.2026 \| SATURDAY** **18:00** האמת? יש לנו הרבה מה להגיד. אבל הפעם בחרנו להתחיל מהסוף.
עם ליינאפ כזה, לפעמים הדבר הנכון ביותר הוא פשוט לתת למוזיקה לדבר לפני הכל. בפורים הקרוב אנחנו מארחים בלילה אחד כמה מהשמות הגדולים, הבולטים והאהובים ביותר בסצנה הישראלית והעולמית – כאלה שכשעולים על הבמה הלבבות רועדים, האנרגיה מתפוצצת וכל רגע מרגיש כמו חלום שלא רוצים שייגמר. זה נשמע כמו אשליה, אבל כן – זה אמיתי.

אנחנו הולכים לארח בלילה אחד את זהבי האחד והיחיד עם הבוזוקי והאנרגיה הבלתי נשכחת. את דרקו מכונת הלהיטים שממשיך לכבוש רחבות בארץ ובעולם. את דאלי עם הסאונד הייחודי שכשהוא עולה קורה משהו אחר ברחבה, ואיך אפשר בלי אשר סוויסה עם הגרוב האינסופי שמלווה אותנו כבר שנים. **:MUSIC A–Z** **Asher Swissa** **Danilo** **Darco** **Dali** **ME** **Fly Effect** **Zehavi** **Toled** 


אז מאיפה מתחילים? אנחנו חיים בבועה.
בועה של מציאות אחרת – כזאת שיודעת לקחת מורכבות, עומס ויום־יום, ולהפוך אותם לשמחה מתפרצת, לחופש, לרגעים של אסקפיזם טהור.
יש משהו בנו, משהו בעם שלנו, שיודע לנווט בין הכל – ולבחור לרקוד. אנחנו מבינים אתכם.
את התחושות בבטן, את הגירודים בגוף, את הפומו, את הצורך לצאת למסע מוזיקלי אמיתי.
לא עוד ערב. לא עוד מסיבה.
אלא חוויה. מסע. בועה משלנו. קפסולת זמן מושלמת, שבה אפשר להיות מי שאנחנו, לרקוד עם הפנים קדימה ולהיסחף עם האומנים הכי טובים לכמה שעות שבהן פשוט מרגישים שוב – חיים. רגע לפני שאנחנו פותחים עונה חדשה, החלטנו לעשות משהו מיוחד. אירוע חד־פעמי של **BUBBLES** בחג הכי צבעוני, חופשי ושמח בשנה – פורים. זה הזמן להשתחרר.
להתחפש.
להגזים.
להיות מי שאתם רוצים להיות.
כמה שיותר צבעוני יותר טוב וכמה שיותר משוחרר יותר נכון. באירוע הקרוב שוכחים הכל.
אנחנו יוצאים למסע מוזיקלי ארוך מהשקיעה ועד הזריחה.
מול הגלים על רחבת השלוותה, במקום שבו הכל מתחבר. 
**MIKOM** מול הגלים.
איפה שהשמיים כחולים יותר, הים אין־סופי, והרחבה פתוחה לכולם. המקום שראה הכל , דיג’יים בינלאומיים, אומנים מקומיים, רגעים גדולים ולילות בלתי נשכחים. אין לוקיישן מדויק יותר לבועה שלנו ואין מקום טוב יותר לחוות בו את פורים..



בואו לקחת חלק באירוע הכי מיוחד בשנה, 12 שעות של מוזיקה טובה שלא נגמרת.
תבואו מחופשים כמה שיותר מוגזם, נתראה **BUBBLES PURIM FESTIVAL**

This session is about getting your writing done and meeting other writers in your area. When you show up, say hello to everyone, grab a drink, and get your writing tools ready. Once you’re all settled, take some time to chat with your fellow writers. Once everyone’s arrived, I will lead quick introductions and then set the timer for our quiet and focused writing session.

**Confidence in Bloom: How Creativity Builds Confidence** What happens when creativity becomes an intentional practice? In this month’s Confidence Lab, we’ll gather at **Petals That Inspire: The Flourish Studio** for an evening exploring the connection between creativity and confidence. How making with our hands, engaging our senses, and allowing space for expression can shift how we see ourselves and what we believe is possible. Our featured speaker, **Amanda Lorenzetti**, owner of Petals That Inspire, will share how creativity has shaped her own confidence journey and why creative environments play such a powerful role in well-being, resilience, and personal growth. Drawing from her work leading an experience-driven floral studio and a community-centered workforce development program, Amanda will reflect on creativity as both a personal and collective catalyst. Amanda will also guide us through a **hands-on floral design experience**, creating a fresh arrangement in a wide mouth mason jar. No prior floral experience is needed, just curiosity and a willingness to engage the process. This evening is an invitation to slow down, create, and reconnect with the part of yourself that grows through care, attention, and imagination. You’ll leave with a floral arrangement to take home, and a deeper understanding of how confidence can be cultivated through creative practices. **Featured Speaker: Amanda Lorenzetti** Amanda Lorenzetti is the owner and founder of [Petals That Inspire](https://www.petalsthatinspire.com/) and The Flourish Studio, a social enterprise florist based in Columbus, Ohio. She brings more than a decade of experience in wedding and event sales, paired with hands-on expertise in floral and event design. Amanda’s connection to the floral industry began early, spending time alongside her godmother, a professional florist on the East Coast. After earning her business degree, she returned to her hometown in Connecticut to work as a floral and event designer, blending creative artistry with strong operational and client-focused skills. In 2020, Amanda returned to the floral industry with a renewed purpose, driven by a desire to build a business rooted in creativity, community impact, and sustainability. During this pivotal time, she founded Petals That Inspire—an innovative floral concept that reimagines the traditional florist model by combining event florals, workshops, and experiential offerings with a mission-centered approach to workforce development. Today, Petals That Inspire is a thriving social enterprise known for its thoughtful design, educational experiences, and commitment to empowering young adults facing barriers to entry in the workforce. Amanda is deeply passionate about building businesses that are both profitable and purpose-driven, and she leverages her strong business acumen to create a scalable & sustainable model that inspires creativity while giving back to the community. **What is Confidence Lab?** Confidence Lab is a monthly community experience for bold, thoughtful leaders building confidence from the inside out. Whether you’re launching a business, leading a team, navigating change, or simply striving to show up more fully—you belong here.

(Note: RSVPing here on meetup does NOT reserve your seat. To do that, you’ll need to register at our website, **[HERE](https://www.coreerocks.com/Events.aspx?ID=Columbus-in-person-chapter-meeting-Your-2026-Buy-Box-Successful-Rentals-101-14-3-3-2026)**.) Let’s be honest. In 2026, you can’t use 2023 strategies and “hope” a deal works out. Demand for rentals, wholesale deals, retail deals, and even loans has changed, and that means that the most active, experienced investors have changed the way they do deals (and maybe even the kinds of deals they’ll do). Here at COREE, our job is to shortcut your learning curve by introducing you to the people and concepts you need to take the shortest path from here to financial freedom, and we think you’ll agree that this meeting is a no-brainer, if you’re serious about making wealth-building deals this year. Here’s the detailed agenda: From 6:00–7:00 p.m., From 7:30–9:00 p.m., Agenda: 5:00–6:00 p.m. Complimentary Light Dinner & Networking 6:00–7:00 p.m\*\*. New Investor Meeting: Basics of Making Money in Rentals with Vena Jones-Cox\*\*. If you’re planning to buy rentals today, you have to know how to evaluate the REAL income and expenses before you make an offer. If you’re new, you’ll finally understand how rentals really produce profit. If you’ve been around a while, you’ll see how today’s numbers change the math. 7:00 –7:30 **Buy-Sell-Trade (Members Only)** Bring your deals, money, buyer lists, referrals, and requests. Fast-moving. Bring flyers or business cards. Guests get a quick orientation with Executive Director Vena Jones-Cox. 7:30–9:00 p.m. **Main Meeting: Your 2026 Buy Box: What Experienced Investors are Buying in 2026 (and what they won’t touch).** Our panel of active, experienced investors will lay out their 2026 buy boxes. Not hypotheticals. Not “in theory.” What they are actually buying—and what they won’t touch. They’ll share: * What property types investors are actively pursuing * What strategies they’ve stopped using * The exact numbers they require before they say yes * How insurance, taxes, and rates have tightened the buy box * What instantly disqualifies a deal in today’s market * How to define your own 2026 buy box based on capital and risk tolerance Members and non-members at any level of knowledge and experience are welcome—as long as you’re serious about real estate, value experience-based, no B.S. education, and want to give as much as you get.
