MIXER Work & Lounge has been a cornerstone for Iron Nation since our launch almost a year ago. From this hub, we've invested in 18 incredible Israeli startups and counting. When Eyal Naveh and Nir Kouris invited us to speak at a Mixer meetup focused on resilience and supporting startups during the war, we jumped at the opportunity. We're proud to be part of a community that supports Israeli startups through challenging times. Yesterday, the Mixer brought together over 100 VCs, investors, and key players in the high-tech ecosystem. Gil Friedlander, our co-founder and managing partner, shared insights on how Iron Nation came about, the funding & support we offer and investment criteria we seek in the Israeli start-ups we evaluate. The Israeli high-tech community's resilience is inspiring. We're grateful for the amazing founders and teams who continue to deliver, no matter what, and for Investors and VCs like Iron Nation who support them.

As we step into a new year, our hearts are with those affected by the ongoing war and attacks on Israel and its allies, especially the hostages and their families, spending yet another holiday apart. At every moment we recognize the courage and sacrifice of those who have left their families and their startups behind, to bravely protect our nation. May the new year bring the hostages home and deliver safety, hope and growth. Iron Nation was born in response to the aftershocks of October 7th, and we have been joined by hundreds of partners, investors, and startups, all focused on ensuring the continued resilience and growth of Israel’s innovation ecosystem. We are deeply grateful to the many volunteers who recognized the challenges ahead, and stepped up to be part of the solution. We are also immensely appreciative of our investors, who see in these difficult times the opportunity to both do well and do good, allowing us to make 18 investments in ground breaking startups, poised to change the world. Our commitment remains unwavering: to advance Israeli innovation and strengthen the bonds with communities around the world. We look forward to a year of remarkable achievements, shared success, and a lasting impact. 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗧𝗼𝘃𝗮!

איך סטארטאפים ישראליים יכולים לשרוד את המלחמה? באירוע שיזמה MIXER Work & Lounge המפעילה מתחמי עבודה משותפים, ינסו לענות על השאלה המורכבת הזו. האירוע יתמקד באתגרים של הסטארטאפ ניישן בתקופת המלחמה, ויעניק רעיונות וכלים להתמודדות עם האתגרים הייחודיים של השנה האחרונה. תוכלו גם לשמוע על ההזדמנויות הייחודיות והתמיכה שהאקו סיסטם מציע לחברות סטארט אפ. Iron Nation הוקמה בשבוע הראשון של המלחמה, מתוך רצון לסייע לסטראפים הרבים שהמציאות החדשה תטרוף להם את הקלפים, אם בשל גיוס למילואים של אנשי מפתח או בשל העובדה שמשקיעים רבים לקחו צעד אחורה. Iron Nation השקיעה מאז פרוץ המלחמה ב-17 חברות סטארטאפ ישראליות מעולות. אנחנו שמחים על ההזדמנות להשתתף בארוע הזה בהובלת המיקסר. Gil Friedlander, שותף מנהל בקרן איירון ניישן ידבר בכנס ויחלוק מהניסיון שלנו ושל חברות הפורטפוליו שלנו בהתמודדות עם אתגרי השנה האחרונה. במרכז האירוע תעמוד הגרלה של 3 חבילות ליווי משמעותיות לסטארטאפים –שיזמה 𝗠𝗶𝘅𝗲𝗿 במטרה לחזק את התעשייה בתקופה זו של חוסר וודאות. לפרטים והרשמה https://lnkd.in/dWsqWyfZ Gil Friedlander Chen Linchevski Jason Wolf Ilan Tevet Chemi Peres Eyal Naveh Nir Kouris
