Ronald S. Lauder Fellow, Adam Shapiro, founded Start-Up Nation Mentorship (SUNM) in 2018 after pitching it at the World Jewish Congress’ Campus Pitch Competition. SUNM works in conjunction with the WJC and the Israeli Foreign Ministry to connect non-Jewish student leaders from around the world with mentors from top Israeli industry and government heads. SUNM enables students who would otherwise not engage with the incredible opportunities Israel has to offer to develop meaningful, lasting relationships with Israelis who are in the center of the dynamic global economy. Whether it is how to take the first step into a particular industry as a fresh graduate, or who to contact when considering an expansion into Israel as a business executive, the relationships that students begin to cultivate through Start-Up Nation Mentorship will serve them for years to come.
