Is it really free? How do you make money?

Yes, subscribing and receiving our features is 100% free and will remain free.

We have a premium tier for those who want to be the first to get notified about newly chosen startups, access our previous features, and support us in promoting Israeli innovation.

More importantly, as we grow, we intend to syndicate investments into the startups we select. If you want to get involved early, contact me.

How do you select the startups you feature?

Startups complete our application form and get interviewed before they’re selected. We only accept startups that have already raised money from at least one professional investor.
We’re sector agnostic and are after all early-stage Israeli startups, as long as they demonstrate exceptional potential and traction.

What do the emails you send look like?

Each email we send features one startup, in a quick two-minute-read, highlighting answers to the following questions:

  1. Why now? What opportunity is the startup tackling?

  2. What makes the team fit for success?

  3. What is the company’s traction? In sales, R&D, partnerships, pilots, etc.

  4. What is the startup’s competitive edge? Such as patents, access to unique data sets, strategic partnerships, etc.

  5. Who are the startup's current investors and how much has been raised? (We only accept startups that have already raised capital from professional investors).

How often will you email me once I subscribe?

Instead of sending weekly or monthly, we send an email each time we see a startup with real potential. That might happen a day after our last email, or only after a month. So be sure to add us to your inbox so you don’t miss out - the next big opportunity from the Israeli startup ecosystem might be in your inbox any day now.
