Enabling deep-tech SEED stage companies bloom 🌼 Following our recent announcement of the stimulus package to boost Israeli tech industry and the Startup Fund that aims to assist in the establishment and funding of early-stage deep-tech companies at various development stages, from ideation to growth, in sync with the market. We are launching today a program that will provide grants to SEED stage companies that are developing R&D intensive technologies, facing inherent high-risk challenges. For these Seed companies The Innovation Authority will be covering 50% of the total funding round, with a budget ceiling of NIS 5 million. The seed funding is designed to enable these companies to achieve an initial techno-economic POC, continue building a robust prototype and conduct a pilot to test their product. This program is a joint investment of the Innovation Authority alongside venture capital firms or private investors, aiming to reduce risk for investors and promote the closing of a robust investment round. ❗ We've lowered the private sector's investment risk. Now it's your turn! Some of the most promising technological companies are waiting for you to "jump in."

It's been a month since we pitched FLUIX AI on stage at the Morgan Stanley Inclusive Ventures Lab Demo Day. I was joined by the rest of our leadership team, Chase and Shashank, 22 other amazing startups in our cohort, and several hundred investors in NYC. I wanted to thank the MSIVL team for an unforgettable experience in the five-month-long accelerator. The program took our team, product, and fundraising to the next level. I'm also happy to share that we secured funding from a couple of investors we met at the MSIVL Demo Day. The article below reports: "Abhishek Sastri, founder and CEO of U.S.-based FLUIX AI presented the company's AI co-pilot designed to help critical facilities, especially data centers, save money by intelligently managing their systems. He cited a total addressable market of $78 billion and noted that, in one of their most recent case studies, a server room at a client's facility in Berkeley, CA, saw a 40% reduction in energy costs with the use of FLUIX's AI co-pilot.
