We Invest
Raising capital for first-time Startup Founders is hard.
We’re the type of investors that let you make mistakes but insist that you get it right. We back outstanding student entrepreneurs with the resources they need to grow their endeavors, and we back our words with an early-stage investment of up to ₪ 100,000.
Leave your excuses and doubts behind – It’s time to see if you have what it takes.
