Gen1

Gen1 is a nonprofit platform proudly operated by 46C Group, accelerating the next generation of Israeli entrepreneurs into the U.S. market. Led by the founder of Google’s global startup programs, Gen1 is a mission-driven initiative focused on supporting Israeli founders through a 6-month, cross-border journey. Each cohort receives hands-on support across fundraising, customer acquisition, and U.S. operations, with a clear goal: secure at least one U.S. investor and one U.S. customer per startup. Backed by a growing coalition of partners, from major corporates and financial institutions to law firms and VCs, Gen1 combines world-class network access with tactical execution to fast-track success. We’re not just helping Israeli startups land in the U.S. We’re helping them lead.
