11 Startups Join the Microsoft Ventures Accelerator in Tel Aviv
The Tel Aviv Accelerator is proud to announce the opening of its 6th cohort!
Over the past few of months, we interviewed dozens of companies out of the 330 applicants from 24 countries to find the best startups for our program. We took into consideration which companies were targeting huge markets with the most creative ideas and highly skilled teams.
Today, we’re excited to reveal the 11 startups selected to join the program. This cohort covers several domains within the tech industry, including agri-tech, HR recruitment, fin-tech, e-commerce, cyber security, augmented reality and more. For the next 4 months, these startups will go through our intense accelerator program, helping them better understand their customers and improve their solutions.
We recently updated our program content and processes to better fulfill the needs of the more mature companies joining our 6th cohort. We’ll provide the support, mentorship, and business connections they need in order to develop their companies as much as possible during their time in our accelerator—and we know they will make great strides.
I’d like to congratulate and welcome the 11 startups to the Tel Aviv Accelerator program. We wish them the best of luck!
