We invite you, a recent PhD graduate with an idea that could change the world for the better, to join our growing deep-tech portfolio to ideate, create and launch your startup through a methodology and resources that compress the time from idea to funding to impact.

WHAT OUR FOUNDERS SAY

Mor Brokman, PhD

Co-Founder & CEO Opmed.ai

“As a freshly minted PhD and first-time founder, the coaching and guidance provided by Unbox Ventures was invaluable - helping my partners and I to navigate key dilemmas in transforming research into a market-ready solution with early product-market fit, leading to fundraising of $15M from some of the best venture funds and achieve significant revenues from top medical centers in the United States. I highly recommend Unbox Ventures to scientist entrepreneurs aiming to build impactful companies that change the world."

“As a post-doc eager to make an impact in the healthcare system, Unbox Ventures provided me with the expertise, resources, and connections necessary to turn my idea to a fundable startup. The Unbox Ventures methodology and coaching equipped me not only with new skills, but also the confidence to establish and grow Nanocarry with my co-founders”

UNBOXING
JOURNEY

Unboxing is now open to recent PhDs (April 2020 and later) with a novel idea and a burning desire to launch and grow startups aiming at positive global impact.


Unboxing avoids the common pitfalls of first-time founders through principled team building and customer validation, to prove early product-market fit and manifest the entrepreneurial traits investors seek. Unboxing proceeds through three stages - Ideation, Creation and Ignition:

Ideation

A free five-week prep course, developing a shared language and methodology through entrepreneurial meetups, unboxing workshops and plentiful office hours for 1-1 consultations.

Creation

Coached creation of a plan and pitch to the Unbox Investment Committee. Select projects will be founded with $100,000 in pre-seed funding and a NIS 175,000 tax-free residency stipend for the lead founder and CEO.

Ignition

New startups receive intimate coaching through customer validation and fundraising, aiming for a significant Seed Round within one year.

Application to the Winter '25 Ideation Phase Closes 15.12.2024
