On Tuesday we turned the World Cup into a Founders Village moment. We packed a Tel Aviv rooftop with a curated group of Israel’s top founders for Argentina vs Egypt – no agenda, no stage, just football, food, and the kind of conversations that only happen when the right people are in the same room. On screen, Argentina’s comeback from 2–0 down to a 3–2 win in the final minutes was a masterclass in belief, resilience, and execution under pressure. Off screen, founders were trading war stories, comparing what they’re building next, and spotting ways to help each other – from hiring intros to first customer leads. The next generation of companies doesn’t start in a boardroom; it starts in places like these. That’s what Founders Village is designed for: creating intentional spaces where exceptional founders can find each other early, long before a funding round or launch announcement. For Team8, this is Success by Design in action – not just backing great founders, but engineering the community, partnerships, and moments that help them compound over time. Huge thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our partners Amazon Web Services (AWS), GUTS - Harel Innovation hub, Discount Tech, and Jurni for helping make it happen. #FoundersVillage #WorldCup2026 #SuccessByDesign Bar Naveh Guy Navon, PhD Antonella Kamien Idan Tamir Nir Kouris Tomer Cohen Asaf Azulay
