GENERAL MANAGER
Mr. Moshe Katzenelson
PROFILE
TECHNION SEED is a seed-stage investment firm, owned jointly by
four top-tier Venture Capital funds - Vertex Venture Capital,
Battery Ventures (based in Boston, USA), SCP-Vitalife and ProSeed
- and the Technion Research & Development Foundation.
Through TECHNION SEED, these funds invest in high market
potential technological ideas and ventures that are still at an
early stage and with very high uncertainty.
The investment in such ventures - initially up to about
$1,000,000 - is made directly by the funds, and is complemented
by governmental funding provided through Technion Seed, as part
of the Technological Incubators program.
The purpose of the initial investment is to enable the
entrepreneurs to prove the viability of their idea. Success in
the initial phase will then lead to a large round of financing in
the venture, led by the above-mentioned VC funds, for continued
growth of the venture.
TECHNION SEED and its owners invest in several fields, including
Information and Communications Technology; Medical Devices;
Renewable Energy; Homeland Security; New materials; and more.
