Eligibility Guidelines
The MassChallenge Israel 2024 Early-Stage Accelerator is a sector-agnostic program accepting startups from any industry and from all over the world.
Our program is tailored for early-stage companies, from idea validation to initial market engagement.
- This generally correlates to startups which have generated less than $2M in annual revenue and have raised less than $1M in equity-based (non-grant) funding.
- Companies who haven’t raised any funds are welcome to apply as well.
Please note these are guidelines, not firm requirements. While funding and revenue are important factors, we realize that in some markets, startups are considered early- stage with greater initial funding. Similarly, there could be a business that is pivoting to become a startup which already generates meaningful revenue. We welcome all applicants who can benefit from our program.
*The program itself will be held in a hybrid format – While most content sessions will take place online, we will have a number of in-person sessions and events. These will mostly take place in the MassChallenge Israel office in Jerusalem, and are considered obligatory for finalists based in Israel and strongly encouraged for international finalists.
Due to the situation in Israel, all dates and events are subject to change. All applicants and finalists will be notified regarding any changes.
