מה קרה
Israel's government is providing up to 1 billion shekels in emergency loans to early-stage startups affected by the shekel's rise against the dollar, aiming to extend their operational runway by six months. The program requires matching private funding and targets companies with less than a year of runway, focusing on those with strong R&D activity in Israel. This temporary measure is designed to help startups survive immediate financial challenges, with individual application reviews determining eligibility.
- 01Israeli Innovation Authority offers up to 1 billion shekels to support startups facing currency challenges.
- 02Funding covers 33%-50% of needed capital, leveraging 2-3 billion shekels total with private matching.
- 03Eligible companies must have less than 12 months runway and significant R&D expenses in Israel.
- 04Loans carry interest and are repayable from future revenues; no repayment if company fails.
- 05Program targets startups at immediate risk, not all affected by shekel appreciation.
- 06Applications are individually reviewed; only about one-third expected to receive funding.
