Do you invest in startups?
No. As a non-profit, we do not invest in startups, nor do we take equity or fees for any of our programs.
I'm an Israeli founder coming to Silicon Valley to meet investors, can you help me?
While we donu2019t make direct connections to investors, we provide our members with a supportive community and environment. We host intimate, member-only events to facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, investors, and corporate executives, leaving the networking up to you. Additionally, we offer a shared working space with 24/7 access, including reservable meeting rooms. If your visit coincides with one of our events, you're welcome to register and attend.

Do you require a membership fee?
No. ICON membership is free of charge.
Why was my membership denied?
ICON membership is exclusively for Israeli founders of technology startups, investors (VC partners or prominent angels), and corporate executives (typically director level and above).
