F.A.Q

  • Students studying for a bachelor's or master's degree at the University of Haifa
  • University graduates who have not yet passed two years from the graduation date.
  • They need to have an idea for a social or technological-business venture, at an early stage.

The process includes four steps:

  1. Submit a proposal in response to a call. Twice a year you will have the option to submit applications.
  2. Personal interviews for initial screening of proposals.
  3. Proposals that have passed this stage will be submitted to a jury chaired by the Foundation's staff.
  4. Selection of projects.
  5. The ventures will be accompanied by the fund staff and the Fresh.Fund Venture Capital Fund for half a year.

We believe that the transfer of intellectual property to students is essential to encourage entrepreneurship.

The University has approved an exemption from the Intellectual Property (IP) of undergraduate and graduate students, in a thesis-free track.

That is, the venture remains yours.

* Master's degree students with a thesis and / or doctoral students will be required to obtain a special permit.
