Startup18 is a non-profit organization founded in 2006 that supports grassroots and lay-led cultural initiatives for Jewish and Israeli identity, education, and community building. It offers programs such as a monthly Jewish Engagement Lab for project founders, idea roundtables to develop program concepts, and a Community Hackathon that seeds funds for impactful ideas, along with educator recognition in collaboration with the Harold Greenspoon Foundation. The organization operates within the Jewish and Israeli cultural landscape, aiming to empower community members to develop independent initiatives and fellowships while maintaining a network for project founders. Based in Encinitas, California, Startup18 works to facilitate diverse, youth- and adult-oriented programs through volunteer-driven and later staff-supported efforts, expanding its scope beyond Israeli culture over time. Recent activity notes the continuation of its Hackathon and related programs as part of its evolving mission to inspire and support Jewish community builders.
