What we’re about
Fusion is Israel’s leading pre-seed platform and startup accelerator.
Since 2017, Fusion has backed over 130 startups with a combined valuation of over $1.8B and raised over $500 million from top investors.
Each year, Fusion writes dozens of $150,000 checks to help entrepreneurs bring their vision to life - often first-time founders from industries or sectors underrepresented in VC-backed Israeli tech.
In addition to pre-seed funding, Fusions runs an intensive bootcamp in Tel Aviv, Silicon Valley, New York and Los Angeles where portfolio companies learn from 150+ sessions from seasoned founders, investors and mentors.
Fusion has been recognized as Israel’s most active pre-seed fund for three consecutive years, according to the IVC-GNY-KPMG Investors Report for 2022, 2023, and 2024.
