fresh.fund

fresh.fund is Israel's first university focused venture capital fund. It has its feet on the ground across Israel's leading academic institutions, positioning the fund to identify and invest in the most promising early-stage startups and technologies -- founded by exceptional students, academics, and recent grads -- before anyone else (and at a fraction of the cost). The process is fast and friendly: typically, 6 weeks from application to funding. The deal-flow team is made-up of the brightest students and academics in the country (studying computer science, industrial engineering, business, sciences, design etc.) hand-picked from hundreds of qualified applicants. The analysts undergo extensive training, powered by Jerusalem’s first startup accelerator, Siftech, and work hand-in-hand with the fund's partners and a team of seasoned advisors (leading investors, angels, VCs, and entrepreneurs) to identify investment opportunities and support portfolio companies.
