School of Entrepreneurship for IDF Reservists and Injured Soldiers

In recent months, thousands of Israeli reservists – soldiers, wounded veterans, and their spouses – have put their entire lives on hold. They were called back to serve, leaving behind plans, studies, careers, and dreams that were just within reach. Now, as the dust of battle begins to settle, a new challenge emerges: not only facing the reality they’ve returned to, but transforming it into a new opportunity. To help them build a future out of disruption, the 8200 Alumni Association is launching the Entrepreneurship School for Reservists – with a special focus on combat soldiers, wounded veterans, and their spouses. The program will provide practical tools, personal mentorship, and exposure to the worlds of innovation and venture creation – ensuring that the return to civilian life becomes not just a recovery, but a leap forward. Leveraging the unparalleled network, experience, and community of 8200 alumni, we will open doors that might otherwise remain closed. Our mission is simple: to transform battlefield courage into a different kind of bravery – the ability to dream, to create, and to build. Founded in 1989, the 8200 Alumni Association operates with a deep sense of social responsibility, channeling its human capital, expertise, and connections into large-scale social and technological initiatives – promoting entrepreneurship, innovation, and equal opportunity. We have the experience. We have the knowledge. We have the community. But to make this happen – we need you as a partner in this mission. This is not just an opportunity to say “thank you” – It’s an opportunity to invest in the future of the Start-Up Nation.
