The whole ecosystem, in one room
The Investment Climate Dinner is a closed, founders-only table — no investors, so the room stays intimate between the people running startups. A Meet Up is the opposite by design: everyone is invited, corporates, angels and investors included. A couple of short talks, one theme worth showing up for, and the rest of the night for the conversations that actually move things.
The Healthspan series
Where Healthspan Meets Capital — an evening on the science and the businesses adding functional years to life. Founders, operators and the investors writing cheques in the category, in the same room.
Healthspan Tel Aviv Meet Up
An evening around Healthspan, Wellness & Longevity — from biohacking and biological age to functional nutrition as an investable thesis. Short talks from the funds and founders building the category, then open networking.

What a Meet Up night looks like
Built to be useful, not a panel you sit through — you leave with people, not just notes.
Founders, operators & investors
The whole local ecosystem in one room — not a closed table. This is where founders and capital actually meet.
Short talks, then networking
A couple of sharp talks to set the room, then open networking — the part you actually came for.
One theme a night
Each Meet Up takes a single theme — healthspan, and more to come — and keeps it concrete and investable.
Everyone covers their own tab
Low-key and no-fuss. Come to give, meet the room, and keep it candid — no hard sell.
