Entrepreneurs’ Organization

13,000+ members around the world, dealing with the same issues you are

Entrepreneurs’ Organization – EO for short – was founded in 1987 to enable entrepreneurs to grow and learn from one another so they can enjoy more professional and personal success. Created and run by entrepreneurs, today we have over 180 chapters in 58 countries, each operated by entrepreneur volunteers according to our organizational guidelines.

EO Israel is made up of “serial entrepreneurs”; some have had multiple exits valued at tens of millions of dollars. Members share professional knowledge, concerns and confide in each other. Each adds their talents and connections to the community, and together, they energize each others’ ventures and keep Israeli entrepreneurship thriving.

A Few Words from Our Members

EO takes entrepreneurs out of their loneliness. It connects you to people who have the same DNA as you, even if they’re very different from you. It enables you to support and get supported; let go and be exposed. It forces you to account for every part of your life, every month. It opens you to the experience of brilliant people. It enables making better, more precise decisions – and together. Not alone.

I’m a founding chapter member of EO Israel and I’m so glad I joined. Being part of this special group of like-minded entrepreneurs provides me with so much personal and professional growth. No matter how big or small our companies, we all face similar challenges – and we’re all in it together.

Why Else Should I Join?

On my first year as an EO member, I went to the EO program on growth at the London Business School, with 60+ successful entrepreneurs from all over the world. I learned a lot and returned home with a substantial added value and concrete tasks to complete – to this day we are still implementing tools I’ve learned there and I’m in touch with some of my class mates. I highly recommend EO!

The organization is wonderful, broadens one’s horizons and expands one’s boundaries. The members have become one big family.

Benny Ayal, Partner and CEO, Infinity-Ayalim Investment Group

Why Else Should I Join?

The power of EO has to do with the ability to be part of a group of people that operate under a code of conduct of total confidentiality and under that setting deep meaningful conversations take place. It is when I receive honest feedback that helps reduce my blind spot. This has been very powerful for me.

Amir Kfir, CEO, Amirror group organizational consulting

Why Else Should I Join?

As an entrepreneur and CEO, feeling alone is a challenge. Being with my peers at EO enables me to feel safe and to share my thoughts and feelings. Sharing helps me learn and grow for the benefit of my business, my family, and most importantly – for me.

Lior Nabat, CEO, Tradency

Why Else Should I Join?

The opportunity to share, consult and get assistance for the most complex business situations; being sure everything said in the room stays there; knowing you’re surrounded by close friends who would do anything to help you; the opportunity to be part of a big community of entrepreneurs from diverse business verticals…this is what it means to be a member.
