Woman2Woman - 8200 Alumni Association

What Woman2Woman - 8200 Alumni Association does

Woman2Woman is a non-profit mentoring and professional development program for women, operating under the 8200 Alumni Association (עמותת בוגרי 8200) in Israel. Founded within the Association framework around 2016, it runs seven distinct programs — the flagship Annual Mentoring Program, RiseHer (tech early-management, with the Israel Innovation Authority), Woman2Woman Beta (Ethiopian-Israeli women, with 8200 Beta), 'On the Way to the Summit' (בדרך לפסגה, CFO-aspiring finance leaders), Leader 2 Leader (senior-management alumni), an Internal Organizational Mentoring Program for corporates, and an Investment Course for Women in partnership with IBI Investment House. Programs combine 1:1 mentoring with senior female leaders, professional workshops, company visits, networking events, and community cohorts, serving both individual participants and corporate clients across Israel.

The organization reports 12,000+ community members, 80+ senior mentors drawn from Israeli industry (Microsoft, Teva, JFrog, Dell, Axonius, Zenity, Harel, GNY), 350+ annual program graduates, 70+ RiseHer graduates, 100+ internal-program graduates, and 300+ active alumni. It employs 33 staff and operates primarily in Israel through a community-led and sales-led GTM combining social media, newsletter, community events, and direct B2B outreach to corporate HR and diversity leaders.

The business model blends four streams: custom-priced annual corporate partnerships, designed-and-managed internal organizational mentoring programs, a freemium/800 ILS investment course with IBI, and donations via iCount. There is no proprietary technology platform or AI/ML capability — service delivery is in-person mentoring, workshops, and community programming — and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
