Great ideas are just that without the capital to get them off the ground. The 5th annual US/Israel Venture Summit provides opportunities for cash-strapped but deserving businesses to take their ideas to the next level.
Soon after Massachussets Governor Deval Patrick completes his cleantech tour of Israel and the UK, Israel’s latest and greatest innovators will have an opportunity to present their savvy to a host of investors seeking dynamic opportunities. Presented by youngStartup Ventures, the 5th annual US/Israel Venture Summit will take place March 29-30th at the Digital Sandbox in New York City.

Cutting edge Israeli companies will be able to network with top tier venture capitalists, angel investors, corporate venture capitalists and investment bankers in one of the most important annual meetings for Israelis interested in lifting their ideas off the ground. The 40 companies chosen to participate will represent the best startups and emergent businesses in the fields of technology, life sciences, and cleantech.
The summit will also feature 35 influential VC speakers and five VC panel discussions. Among the VCs confirmed to speak are WAVE Equity Partners, Canaan partners, Comcast Interactive Capital, and Millennium Technology Ventures. And finally, both emergent CEOs and investors will have the chance to discuss challenges facing either side of the startup fence and enjoy industry exposure in an exclusive, invitation-only setting.
