Startup Analysis Meetings

We host monthly meetings during which the Merlin Ventures team dissects a handful of early-stage vendors and gives members the ability to share notes and opinions, as well as connect them with any startups of interest.

Interactive Showcases

Every quarter, we invite the founders of four innovative Israeli startups to pitch a panel of hand-picked judges. These interactive sessions provide a fun and engaging way for members to hear directly from the founders and provide feedback on their products.

In-person Meetups

Whether it is at a large industry event, a delegation to Tel Aviv, or an intimate lunch or dinner in a major US City, we host regular in-person gatherings for the development of strong relationships between members.
