Next Octoberwill be better

Nice to meet you 👋

We are Next October, a national commemoration initiative founded to channel pain into energies of growth, and to help commemorate every Israeli man and woman we lost in the war.

Next October pairs startups with bereaved families, and out of these connections grow moving commemoration projects that strengthen the families and enrich the team. Companies accepted to the community also receive a support envelope that helps them grow.

Further down this page you’ll find everything you need to know about the initiative, along with a link to join.

Hundreds of bereaved families are waiting to connect with a startup that will help commemorate their loved ones.
We’d love to see you in the Next October community too.

The picture of victory

Togetherwe spreadthe light of every Israeli man and woman we lost

Every startup accepted to the Next October community adopts the story of one of the fallen, whom it will help commemorate.

To create meaningful commemoration, the Next October volunteer team learns the startup’s unique character and matches it with the family of one of the fallen — according to the shared wishes of both sides.

Why join

A sign that you are a different company

Founders have enough on their plate, and choosing to join Next October is not a given. When founders choose — amid all the pressure and constraints — to commemorate one of the fallen, embrace a family, and dedicate the company’s work to the memory of someone who is no longer with us, they say something about their own character and about the organization they lead.

We believe this is the most Israeli answer to the atrocities our enemies committed:

They came to destroy.We are here to build a better world.

Join us

and together we’ll make sure next October is far better
