The Excel Ventures Program is an innovative 10-week intensive entrepreneurship training track meant for aspiring entrepreneurs from leading academic institutions in the U.S., or recent graduates thereof, and promising young Israelis. During the program, the participants will undergo an accelerated process of venture creation starting from team
formation, ideation, and validation to creating an early stage proof of concept.
The program provides 20 Jewish Americans and Israelis who have shown entrepreneurial potential and leadership skills with an intensive summer experience in Tel Aviv, Israel and is designed to effectively empower the next generation of entrepreneurs. Teams of American and Israeli participants will engage in a fast-paced venture creation process in order to gain effective tools and practical knowledge to launch their ventures.
At the end of the summer, participants of the Excel Ventures Program will be uniquely prepared to lead entrepreneurial careers in an increasingly globalized high-tech ecosystem. Participants will be provided with extensive practical training focused on creating a real venture within the framework of the program. In addition, the program will offer opportunities to expand one’s network in the business and technology realms as well as to forge potential commercial partnerships.
