We brought the ICI founder community together for an end-of-summer lunch at Malka, joined by Sharon from UrbanMix, who was visiting Israel from New York. The lunch was an opportunity to reconnect, exchange updates and celebrate the people behind the companies we back. Around the table were entrepreneurs pursuing different breakthroughs while sharing many of the same challenges and ambitions. Taking time together strengthened the relationships that make this community valuable: having trusted peers to call, experiences to draw on and people who understand the demands of building a company.
