Made in JLM ("Made in Jerusalem") is a voluntary umbrella organization[1] that connects and provides resources for the startup ecosystem in Jerusalem, Israel[2][3][4] Founded in 2012 by Hanan Brand, Roy Munin, and Uriel Shuraki, the NGO focuses on bringing together Jerusalem entrepreneurs, startup service providers and investors, and to develop, support, and connect Jerusalem’s innovation ecosystem.[5][6][7][8]

As of 2014, MadeinJLM has more than 400 Jerusalem startup companies in its database, of which 150 companies are in the biotech industry, and 200 are in the Internet, media and digital games sectors. The organization supports a few professional sub-groups  for developers, designers, game developers, cyber Security experts and more.[6][9]

In July 2014, the organization created a social marketing hackathon for "International Firgun Day", Firgun being an Israeli street Hebrew word of Yiddish origin, that defines the selfless feeling of enjoying another person’s success. Made in Jerusalem set out to create a holiday, celebrated yearly on July 17th, where people write compliments to each other on social media.[10] [11][12]

In April 2014, the organization launched a blog focusing on start up companies and innovation in Jerusalem.[13][14]

In April 2015, the Time Magazine picked Jerusalem as one of the five emerging tech hubs in the world, mentioning MadeinJLM resources and community as one of the factors transforming the city into a "flourishing center for biomed, cleantech, Internet/mobile startups, accelerators, investors and supporting service providers."
