Before & After Sofaer MBA Program:

Alumni's Advice:
"Not to solely focus on academics: make connections, utilize the university as a platform to access Israel's innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem, make friends, and enjoy your time in a wonderful city!"

Before Sofaer MBA Program:
"I was in the field of political science - I used to be a political advisor for a member of the government in Quebec, Canada. Sofaer MBA was my switching point from politics to business communication!"
After Sofaer MBA graduation:
"I switched to a business consultant, working with an NFT marketplace specializing in art from world-leading artists for an extended period. My client is an art marketplace represented by world-leading traditional artists from the world's most prominent galleries. Typically, you will see them exhibited in giant museums in Paris and New York - MoMA, Tate. Studying here and making new friends here was
part of this soft landing I was looking for!
Alumni's advice:
"Come with ambitions. If you have the ambition of building your business to be an expert in such a field, work through the MBA with this in mind. Sofaer MBA - is a safe space where you can test new ideas, test yourself, and surround yourself with like-minded people who want to achieve their goals and advance in their careers. In Sofaer MBA, you can build your circle that will help you rise and achieve your ambitious goals."

Class of 2020
Before the MBA, I had my own startup.
"I had to close it because it failed. I Came To The Sofaer MBA To Learn More About Startups And Innovation. I saw Israel as a big startup nation, and I wanted to learn everything that had to do with it, how I could be better at running a startup and being part of a startup, things like this, and also getting to know the Israeli startup ecosystem."
After Sofaer MBA graduation:
"I visited many of my friends from our MBA group, like a friend in India and a friend in Miami. This program helps to have those cross-cultural connections; you can go to them with any questions you need. If they need some work advice, they'll call me, I'll call them."
Alumni's advice:
"Make the most of every day in the Sofaer MBA program. It's such a gift that we have so many people from all over the world who can learn from so many people and put themselves out there and grow in whatever way they want. If building startup is your goal - go ahead and take advantage of all the resources available to you because there's a lot and it helps to do it early on. We have a lot of people in my class who are still working together to the startups they started in the MBA."
