QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
I'm an Israeli founder coming to Silicon Valley to meet investors, can you help me?
While we don’t make direct connections to investors, we facilitate a great working environment and community for our members. We host intimate member-only events to facilitate connections between entrepreneurs, investors and corporate executives - the rest is up to you. We would also be happy to welcome you to work from our shared working space, 24/7, including meeting rooms that you can reserve. If during the time of your visit we’re hosting an event of interest to you, you are welcome to register.
Can I pitch you my startup/idea?
The ICON team does not do 1:1 with startups. We offer a variety of programs including office hours with investors, successful entrepreneurs and corporate executives, which give you a great opportunity to pitch and get feedback on your startup.
What’s your added value? Why can't I meet these investors myself?
In these days, it is almost impossible to meet investors without an introduction or a referral from a trusted connector. ICON’s community includes a wide range of investors whom you can meet at any of our programs or events: 1:1 office hours/ talks/fireside chats events and more.
Do you require a membership fee?
No. ICON membership is free of charge
Why was my membership denied?
ICON membership is given to Israeli founders of technology startups, Investors (Partners in a VC or prominent Angels) and Corporate Executives (usually Director and above)
Do you invest in startups?
No. We are a non-profit - we don’t invest and we don’t take equity or fees for any of our programs
