Are you an entrepreneur who lives, sleeps, and breathes your startup? Now is your chance for fame and glory with Starup2, Israel’s annual startup competition.
The competition will be broadcast live from the 2016 Global Investor Summit on January 25th in Jerusalem. OurCrowd is hosting the competition together with Bank Hapoalim, the Jerusalem Development Authority and Keshet Broadcasting, and this year’s startup competition is geared towards entrepreneurs with ideas from various fields and sectors, such as hardware, software, cyber, advertising, medicine, energy, agriculture, and more.
Does your startup fit the bill? The competition is only open to Israeli startups who have been unable to raise serious funds in the past (under one million dollars), without a set annual income, or with an income of less than $1.5 million in the last year.
Any startup that meets the criteria will be vetted by OurCrowdFirst, OurCrowd’s seed fund, which will choose the most compelling from the applicants. Live at the Summit, finalists will pitch and compete for the chance at a $500,000 investment to be considered by OurCrowdFirst, plus the title “crowd favorite” and an award of NIS 200,000 by Bank Hapoalim and the Jerusalem Development Authority.
Registration is open; startups can apply at the link below. Following the vetting phase, finalists will pitch their ideas to judges and the audience at the Summit event on January 25th, where the winners will be announced live.
