It's important amidst all the entrepreneurial activity and action in setting up Iron Nation to pause for a moment and express gratitude and appreciation to those devoting their time and talent pro bono to this important cause. This time, I would like to thank Ilan Tevet, Iron Nation CMO. Ilan is a long-time colleague of our Managing Partner, Gil Friedlander and they've remained friends since. When the idea to set up Iron Nation came about a few days following the October 7th massacre, one of the first phone calls was to Ilan. Ilan joined immediately, and since then, he has been leading Iron Nation's marketing activities, Presentations, Website, LinkedIn, Webinars, and much more. Ilan was instrumental in building Iron Nation into a well-recognized and appreciated brand in a very short time with minimal resources. This could never have happened without the great support of volunteers and organizations, all supporting us pro bono. Almost nine months later, Ilan can be very proud of his part in supporting great Israeli startups (more than 13 investments to date) in very challenging times. Thank you, Ilan, for your great work and partnership!

𝗗𝗼𝗻'𝘁 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗡𝗼𝘁 𝗗𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝗜𝘀𝗿𝗮𝗲𝗹! Deeply troubled by the recent rise of anti-Semitism at the University of Toronto, a proud alumnus Lorie Haber (class of 1980), sent a powerful letter (see below) to the University leadership addressing the hateful protests demanding divestment from Israeli companies. Lorie proposes a powerful counterpoint: 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻. He urges the University to consider the Iron Nation Fund, an Israeli venture capital firm that fuels Israeli high-tech startups. This, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗱𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁, is how we foster collaboration and progress. Let's stand with Lorie and 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗺𝗽𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘁𝗲. #SupportInnovation #StopAntisemitism #ProtectOurStudents #StandWithIsrael Gil Friedlander Jason Wolf Chen Linchevski Ilan Tevet Chemi Peres Nir Orbach Diana Avigdor Michael Osborne Joshua Berkowitz M.

Davidi Vortman, CEO at UltraSight, says: "Thanks to Iron Nation’s investment and vote of confidence in our mission, our plans to enter the U.S. market are now back on track, and we are able to continue our team’s expansion to support our commercialization efforts." We're inspired by UltraSight's commitment to improving patient care. Their story truly resonated with us: following the October 7th attack, UltraSight immediately offered their technology to the Israeli medical corps for field triage. In partnership with the University of Haifa, they have donated 20 military-grade ultrasound devices equipped with UltraSight software to IDF units such as the Navy Seals, empowering them to make critical decisions and potentially save lives.
