Growth Hacking

Since most of the participating teams already have a product on the market, business model scaling and networking is important. Therefore, the timetable was fully packed with relevant guest speakers as Gili Golander, who lectured the teams about Company Building and Growth Hacking. During the 1 Week Training Days, the teams meet their mentors and Israeli startup personalities such as Nimrod May, co-founder of Get Taxi, the largest direct competitor of Uber, and receive the chance to pitch their startup to venture capital fonds such as Jerusalem Venture Partners, Magma, AlephVC, Bessemer Venture Partners and OurCrowd as well as 20 other investors – extraordinary for israelian conditions.

In total, 2,275 million Euro will be distributed. Because this is a public subsidy, no reimbursement must be paid and no shares had to be issued. The participants have proven themselves worthy against 660 competitors from 45 countries.
