200+ founders, weekly events and a 12-week accelerator — the Startup Garage community is what separates us from a desk rental.
// Accelerator Programme
A 12-week equity-free programme for pre-seed Israeli startups. We accept 6–8 companies per cohort across any sector — SaaS, fintech, climate tech, consumer, deep tech.
Each company receives: ₪150,000 in grant funding, 30+ hours of 1:1 mentorship, weekly workshops with practitioners (not professors), warm investor introductions and a demo day in front of 80+ VCs and angels.
We do not take equity. We do not charge programme fees. We invest in the community believing that strong alumni make the entire ecosystem stronger.
Onboarding, cohort alignment and mentor matching.
Weekly workshops, 1:1 office hours, customer development.
Pitch coaching, investor introductions and roadshows.
Demo Day — live audience of 80+ investors and press.
