- 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:

- Proposals that have passed this stage will be submitted to a jury chaired by the Foundation's staff.
- Selection of projects.
- The ventures will be accompanied by the fund staff and the Fresh.Fund Venture Capital Fund for half a year.

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.
