Start-Up Nation Mentorship (SUNM) seeks to connect top non-Jewish student leaders from around the world to the incredible opportunities that Israel has to offer, fostering relationships centered around professional and personal development. SUNM aims to shift the focus on college campuses away from an Israel solely defined by its political conflict and toward an understanding of Israel’s role as a global market leader.

SUNM’s mentors hold prestigious positions in a wide range of professions, including influential careers at the nexus of business, technology, and government. In an increasingly international world where interpersonal networks are the key to success, SUNM offers an unparalleled platform for the leaders of tomorrow to develop lasting bonds with Israel that will be crucial later in many of their careers.

Take advantage of tomorrow’s opportunities

As the world recognizes the crucial strategic position of Israel in the global market, and its unique position in the Middle East, Israel is experiencing an influx of heavy investment in research, development, and innovation efforts. 

SUNM believes that success in the modern economy depends on recognizing today’s trends to take advantage of tomorrow’s opportunities. Alongside this professional mentorship, students will be exposed to Israel as a global leader in a plethora of industries and a hub for innovation.

What our alumni say about the mentorship program

Harper D.

Vanderbilt University

“I really enjoyed this program and learned so much from my mentor. My mentor taught me about not only being a consultant at BCG, but by talking to me about the culture in Israel he inspired me to intern at a start up in Israel. I will continue to reach out to my mentor throughout the recruitment cycle and would recommend for anyone to reach out to him!
