MadeRight
Advancing sustainable packaging through the power of fungi
Medium Well
Cultivated meat medium recycling and cost reduction
EcoCrystal
Healthier, sustainable and cost-effective reflective pigments for a brighter future of food
FoodTech Cluster
As the global population soars, food supplies are under pressure, while food production is a major contributor to climate change. The Fresh Start FoodTech incubator is home to a cluster of innovative startups developing breakthrough technologies in alternative proteins, sugar reduction and other platforms for the food and beverage industry to meet these challenges.
Under Fire
The Fresh Start FoodTech Incubator is located in Kiryat Shmona, bringing valuable enterprise and employment to Israel’s northern border, but also within range of Hezbollah rockets. OurCrowd is pleased to present this opportunity to invest in potentially world-beating startups representing the best of Israeli innovation, at a time when it is most valued.
Israel’s Economy
Israel's economic stability depends on the strength of its tech sector, which employs more than 14% of all workers, produces over 18% of GDP, and contributes about 50% of national exports. Israeli startups are impacted by the war triggered by Hamas’ murderous attacks since Oct. 7th but most are resilient and continuing operations. However, Israel's economy both now and in the future will suffer greatly if it loses a significant number of early-stage companies, which are particularly susceptible following a challenging period in the market and a global downturn in venture funding.
Dedicated Funds
OurCrowd will support Fresh Start companies through the OurCrowd FoodTech Fund and the newly-created Israel Resilience Fund, designed to help vulnerable startups through the current crisis.
