Tel Aviv University (TAU) has created a new Venture Fund, ‘TAU Ventures’, focusing on early stage IP and ideas from TAU students, alumni and the wider Tel-Aviv ecosystem. The newly launched “Tel Aviv University Incubation Fund” (TAU FUND), will focus on investing in startups founded by Tel Aviv University’s students and academic staff.
We have acquired the position of anchor investor of TAU FUND. Through Chartered’s Japan Israel High Tech Venture Fund (JIHTV1) we will provide opportunities for investors to invest in TAU FUND.
To companies that invest though this fund, Tel Aviv University provides various support necessary for the growth of start-up companies such as support for R&D in addition to financing, provision of networks with external institutions, etc. By doing so, we have set up a system to strongly back up our growth.
