Welcome to the 1776 newsletter—your pulse on trends and startups innovating in industries that matter. Here you’ll find news on education, energy, health and cities, followed by events and classes where we hope to see you.
It was a short week for 1776, but we still have so many great articles for you to read over the weekend! In particular, our Challenge Cup reporter Dena Levitz wrote a great overview of the Tel Aviv startup scene. We're heading to Tel Aviv next week for the Challenge Cup, so stay tuned for more coverage.
We’ve also been looking at President Barack Obama's energy and environment pushes in relation to startups, including this week's article on the Keystone XL pipeline.
As always, send us your thoughts and feedback to editor@1776dc.com, and for our U.S. readers, we hope you had a great Thanksgiving!
