The Program
The program exposes and educates participants on the key
subjects and tools of entrepreneurship. How to identify a
market need or opportunity? How to validate them? How to
size the market opportunity? Develop a business model, a go
to market plan and more. Most importantly with scientists, is
how to manage the transition from an academic discovery to
satisfying a meaningful market need or opportunity.
Yazamiyot on Campus program spans two and a half months.
After extensive interviews and selection, the entrepreneurs
are divided into teams. Once teams are selected, students are
asked to come up with problem, need or opportunity to be
addressed by a startup. Throughout the program they practice
the tools and knowledge they acquire, on the opportunity
they identified. The program consists 10 meetings, 3-hour
workshop sessions and will span over two and a half months.
The program culminates in a festive Pitch Night event,
during which teams present their startups to a panel of
representatives from top venture capital and investment firms.

lately, people are tired of digital communications
and desire to go back to face-to-face interactions.

Fatigue".

that reveals potential matches in real life. Using

One of the most common problems of humanity is
loneliness, and feeling of loneliness at the work place is
not an exception.
Fast growing companies are aware of the importance
of employee experience at the work place, and its effect
on overall company success. However, the company’s
engagement in the pursuit of business growth, leave the
human resources field undeveloped, which is where WE
come in.
HuddleAPP suggests easy, user friendly, self-maintained
platform, which will help both, to ease on the on-

ROOT (Recycling Our Organic Trash) are going back to our ROOTs!
Though 40% of the urban waste is organic and there are facilities
dedicated to recycling it, most of this waste goes to landfills.
This is due to the challenging requirement for this waste to be
separated at the root. ROOT bridges this gap, and provides a smart
system for collecting, monitoring, and transporting the urban
organic waste.
This separated waste will be used by dedicated recycling facilities to
produce sustainable products.
