DreamIt Israel Program Description

DreamIt Israel is a unique 6-month program for Israeli startups which gives the startups access to the US and Global Markets. The first month takes place in Israel and is followed by the Israeli companies becoming part of DreamIt NYC (a three-month program in New York City).  DreamIt catapults early stage ventures forward by providing startups all the resources they need to succeed in a compressed period of time. DreamIt provides startups mentorship, guidance, up to a $25,000 stipend, communal office space where entrepreneurs are surrounded by other entrepreneurs building their businesses, and access to early stage capital.   The program culminates on Demo Day when the companies present their businesses to investors, strategic partners, professionals and other entrepreneurs.

After the Demo Day in NYC, the companies will return to Israel where there will be a second Demo Day in Israel for investors and up to 2 months of workspace provided for the startups in Israel.

DreamIt has accelerated companies such as: SCVNGR, SeatGeek, Take the Interview, CloudMine, Notehall, SupplyHog, Adaptly, and 57 others.

Five Israeli startups are to be chosen for the first program. For more information and to apply for DreamIt Israel visit: www.dreamitventures.com/Israel
