The Sydney Startup Hub invites you to attend Learnings from Israel's Startup Ecosystem taking place Thursday, 14th November at 5:00 PM AEDT to hear directly from Astorre Modena, Founder and Managing Partner of Terra Venture Partners, one of Israel’s leading venture funds focused on early-stage startups.

Astorre will be in conversation with Stephen Cartwright OAM, NSW’s Agent General to the UK and Senior Trade and Investment Commissioner to Europe and Israel.

What will I learn?
You will leave this session with a greater understanding of the landscape in Israel, their approach to early-stage investments. You will learn about both the opportunities and challenges for startups operating there.

Astorre will also share a range of tips for startups who are looking at the Israeli market and opportunities for growth there. What are VCs in Israel looking for? How can you prepare to make an impact, what do you need to provide?

During his discussion with Stephen, we will explore how the environment and support in NSW and Israel compare.
