Transforming Legacies into Innovation & Hope

About us

On October 7th, 2023, we faced a brutal attack that claimed the lives of over 1,400 extraordinary individuals. In their honor, we are committed to creating a lasting legacy of hope and innovation. Our mission is to ignite the launch of over 1,400 startups, each one a tribute to the unique life and values of one of these beloved souls. These startups will not only preserve their memories but will also transform their legacy into a powerful force for growth and positive change. We invite you to join us in this journey. Together we will ensure that next October, and all the months that follow, are filled with more light and hope than ever before.

    "הדור שחוזר מהמלחמה הוא זה שיוביל את מדינת ישראל ויצעיד אותה קדימה ל-30 שנה הבאות", Naftali Bennett אתמול השתתפנו באירוע מיוחד של מיזם Next October ו-The Peres Center for Peace and Innovation, שהוקדש להנצחת החללים מהמלחמה, וליזמים וליזמות שאימצו את אותם משפחות שכולות. באירוע הועלו האתגרים וההזדמנויות שבפנינו כמדינה, אך גם בפוטנציאל האדיר של מדינת ישראל. מיזם Next October, בהובלת Izhar Shay, ו-Ophir Shay נולד מתוך האבל האישי על ירון, בן המשפחה, והחזון לחבר בין סטרטאפים בשלבים מוקדמים למשפחות שכולות, ובכך להנציח את זכרם של הנופלים והנרצחים.  אנחנו גאים להמשיך לתמוך בעשייה המקדמת זיכרון, חוסן וחדשנות.

    "Mobilizing for Israeli Optimism and Innovation" Under this banner, 200 leaders of the Israeli high-tech industry gathered last night for the launch event of the collaboration between Next October and The Peres Center for Peace and Innovation. At this moving event, we also launched the "Optimism Index" - an extensive survey conducted in courtesy of the Adam Milo Institute that will be updated every few months. The full report will be published at the beginning of next week. We established Next October to channel pain into energy of optimism and growth. The "Optimism Index" will help us ensure we're on the right path toward our goal, and the collaboration with the Peres Center for Peace and Innovation will be a significant force multiplier on the way there. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to Sharon Barzik Cohen for leading an an inspiring panel. We were also honored to have former Prime Minister Naftali Bennett in attendance, and grateful for his encouraging words and message of optimism. Special thanks to the Peres Center for joining forces with us. Together we will ensure that next October will be better, in their honor and memory.

  • "I'm Dor Levy, co-founder and CEO of Umen, where we're developing virtual agents for the hospitality and food service industries. As part of our involvement with Next October, we are honoring the memory of Roei Wolf z"l, who was the first soldier to fall during the ground operation in Gaza. I wanted to share that we've added a slide dedicated to Roei in our investor deck, and we've also decided to name one of our core systems "Roei" in his memory. This way, his legacy becomes part of our daily operations. Thank you to the Next October team for giving us this opportunity and support 🙏🏻"

    Participating in Next October has been a meaningful milestone for us at FireDome. Today, we are proud to launch a dedicated webpage on our site, commemorating Eden Ben-Rubi. The page reflects Eden’s values of kindness, creativity, and embracing life to the fullest—a tribute to her spirit and impact. We were especially moved when Eden’s grandmother, Varda, shared her story with our team. Moments like these remind us of the importance of this initiative. A huge thanks goes to the Next October team—Izhar Shay, Hila, Ophir Shay, Saray Ben-Meir, and everyone involved—for allowing us to contribute to such important work. Thank you to Next October, David Keller, ManyoneTLV, and everyone involved for helping us honor Eden’s memory. 🔗 Learn more: https://lnkd.in/dDsd5P_H #NextOctober #FireDome #Community #Resilience #Kindness #Creativity #InnovationWithPurpose Gadi Benjamini Adi Naor Pomerantz

  • We were honored to participate at the RestartIL conference in London, where dozens of investors and Next October entrepreneurs came together for a remarkable gathering. One by one, entrepreneurs took the stage to showcase their ventures and share the stories of the fallen soldiers and civilians they've chosen to commemorate through their work. The investor audience was deeply moved by these stories of remembrance and impressed by the resilience of Israeli innovation, which continues to thrive even in times of war. We were honored to welcome distinguished guests including British Ambassador to Israel Simon Walters, Israeli Ambassador to Britain Tzipi Hotovely, along with several Members of Parliament and House of Lords. Our heartfelt thanks to the RestartIL team for organizing such a meaningful event and inviting us to participate in this important initiative 🇮🇱

    שבוע מרגש ב-Next October. בזמן שבלונדון סטארטאפים שמנציחים בתוכנית שלנו זוכים לעמוד על הבמה ולהציג את המיזמים שלהם מול שותפים בריטים וישראלים, Geektime גיקטיים הכריזו על המיזם שלנו כארגון החברתי של השנה. מי שהיה בסביבה שלי בשנה האחרונה יודע כמה מהזמן שלי הוקדש למיזם, כמה הניתוב של הזוועות שקרו ב-7 באוקטובר לעשיה ובנית מורשת לאזרחים והאזרחיות שנרצחו, ללוחמים, ללוחמות, והחיילים שנפלו היה לי חשוב. לצערי אנחנו עוד רחוקים מהשלמת המשימה וצריכים להגיע להנצחתם של 1,796 נופלים מאז תחילת המלחמה. הזדמנות מעולה להודות לכל המשפחות, הסטארטאפים, המנטורים, השותפים וכמובן לצוות של Next October שמורכב מהאנשים הכי טובים שהייתי שמח להכיר בנסיבות אחרות לגמרי. Join Us! https://lnkd.in/deY7tta9

    I am so proud to share that Next October has been awarded Geektime גיקטיים 's annual prize for community involvement! Prizes aren't our why — but these moments of recognition remind us of what we are and who we represent. I’m incredibly proud of the entire Next October volunteer team, the founders, mentors, and everyone who has been part of our journey so far. We’re just getting started, and none of this would have happened without you. Thank you, Geektime, and everyone who voted for us. Here’s to making the next October better than the last one.

  • Yesterday in New York City, dozens gathered at the RestartIL conference to learn about Next October and support its mission. We were honored to hear those moving words from Charlie Federman, partner at Silvertech Ventures and esteemed leader at the international tech scene.  In the coming days, the Next October delegation will tour the US and London, spreading our optimistic message to investors, entrepreneurs and the general public: Israel’s best days are yet to come, and now is the best time to invest in Israeli innovation. We will continue to build a brighter next October, in their name, in their honor 🇮🇱

    Another milestone in building a brighter Next October: Our medical community held its first gathering! 🇮🇱 The energy in the room was incredible as healthcare innovators came together to share their visions and explore collaborations. We were privileged to hear from Gal Cohen, who shared invaluable insights about market success. Special thanks to our dedicated volunteers: Sheila Oren, who’s leading this initiative, and the wonderful Saray, Smadar and Sari for their support. The participants' feedback confirms what we already knew - when the Next October community comes together, something meaningful happens. We'll continue supporting these companies as they work to improve healthcare while honoring those we lost. In their name, in their honor 💙
