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.

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.

**To confirm your spot, please complete your registration on our official Luma event page:** **[https://tkl.to/tikal-s-meetup-25-2-26](https://tkl.to/tikal-s-meetup-25-2-26)** **You’ll receive a confirmation email once your seat is approved.** **When**: Wednesday, February 25, 2026 18:00–20:00 **Where**: Tikal offices, 6 Kremenetski St , 1st Floor, Tel Aviv \*The meetup will be held in Hebrew In many development teams, AI adoption still starts and ends with a prompt window. Useful, but limited. The real shift begins when teams move from isolated prompt experiments to agentic workflows that actually support delivery. How do personal AI habits turn into something a team can rely on. What tools and working patterns are emerging. And what does an Agentic SDLC look like once it goes beyond one developer. This meetup explores the evolution of developer workflows in the age of AI. From personal IDE setups and smart context reuse to the early foundations of Agentic SDLC at the team level. The event is inspired by Tikal’s Tech Radar Voice podcast series “Agentic SDLC: From personal workflow to team workflow” and brings those conversations into a live, interactive setting. **On the Agenda:** **18:00–18:30** Welcome drinks and networking **18:30–19:15** From Manifesto to Main Branch: A Spec Driven Approach to the Agentic SDLC// Lior Kanfi, CEO & Founder, Tikal AI coding agents promise velocity, but often deliver chaos. The root cause is usually the lack of a shared source of truth. Instead, teams end up with inconsistent vibe coding, where ad hoc prompts lead to unpredictable results. In this talk, Lior shows how to ground the Twelve Factor Agentic SDLC in the principles of Spec Driven Development. He will introduce the agentic sdlc spec kit, an open source toolkit that makes this approach practical. You will see how a single /specify command can translate a business requirement from an issue tracker into a formal, version controlled specification. This spec.md becomes the contract that governs the entire AI workflow, from automated planning and implementation to generating risk based tests. The session focuses on how teams can move from unpredictable prompting to a governed, spec driven system that turns AI from a clever gadget into a reliable and accountable team member. **19:15–20:00** Panel discussion: Working with AI: from personal routines to teamwide Agentic SDLC Moderator// Nir Kaufman, Tech Lead, Tikal Panelists * Mati Konen, VP of Engineering, Fairgen * Muly Gottlieb, Head of Engineering, Applitools * Roy Kass, Fullstack Tech Lead, Tikal ​In the panel, we’ll hear from the speakers about: * ​How they’re personally using AI tools in their own day-to-day work as developers, leads, and product people * ​What their teams are trying when it comes to integrating agents into real workflows and where things still get stuck * How dev environments are evolving: IDE setups, context management, and async flows * ​What Agentic SDLC actually looks like when it starts to take shape across a team * ​Lessons, surprises, and small changes that made a big difference in how they work **From the podcast series** State of Agentic SDLC [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-state-of-agentic-sdlc](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-state-of-agentic-sdlc) Personal Workflow and Spec Driven Development [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotifiy-personal-workflow](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotifiy-personal-workflow) Context Engineering [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-context-engineering](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-context-engineering) Agentic SDLC for a team [https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-agentic-sdlc-for-a-team](https://tkl.to/tikal-spotify-agentic-sdlc-for-a-team)

Then we made it agentic. Now it's a full-blown multi-agent system. Remember when products didn't change under your feet every five minutes? I do. It was nice. In this talk, we will share Qodo's journey through AI's chaos: how we moved from single prompts to multi-agent code review, architected with LangGraph and MCPs (Figma, Linear, and more). We will walk through some of our specialized review agents. Including a runtime agent that actually runs your code changes, records the UI flow, and catches UI errors and console errors on video.
