A Home for Social Entrepreneurship

Alumot supports ventures that expand opportunity in Israeli society. Our goal is for people to have more ways to move forward in life, even if they grew up with fewer resources or fewer connections. That is social mobility, and that is the change we want to advance.

How do we help ventures move forward?

When there's an idea

We help entrepreneurs understand who the idea can help, what already exists, and how to test it in the field.

When the venture is running

We help entrepreneurs who want to scale: raising resources, developing the business model and building partnerships.

Who provides the guidance

Volunteers with experience in social entrepreneurship and business development. They bring knowledge, questions and connections, and work with entrepreneurs on what needs to happen now.

The People of Alumot

The people of Alumot come from different worlds: entrepreneurship, education, technology, accessibility and business development. This is the experience each of them brings.
