Ignite DeepTech – Spring Cohort Selection Day

It was an honor to take part as a judge at Ignite DeepTech’s Spring Cohort Selection Day, where over 250 startup applications were narrowed down to the top 10 companies joining Ignite’s Spring 2025 cohort.

The event brought together more than 120 investors, entrepreneurs, alumni, and mentors to evaluate some of the most promising deep-tech startups in Israel. In true Israeli spirit, the day was briefly interrupted by a missile alarm — we moved to shelters for a few minutes, and then continued the event as planned, a reminder of the resilience and determination that define our ecosystem.

A huge thank you to the Ignite DeepTech team — Alon Leibovich, Tzahi (Zack) Weisfeld, Avi Tel-Or, Omri Neuberger, and Amit Gorin — for building such a powerful platform for innovation.
