Nest Catalyst Ventures

Nest Catalyst supports Israeli scientists worldwide who are looking to commercialize their scientific findings by founding a company. Together with ScienceAbroad, we designed a 6-month program that provides expert insights into a variety of topics related to science entrepreneurship and introduces scientists to both local and global biotech ecosystems. The program is followed by a week-long visit to Silicon Valley, where scientists will meet with local biotech leaders and participate in a dedicated pitch night. By the end of the program, our cohort will have a clear path toward entrepreneurship, including strong connections with biotech leaders and the necessary materials and knowledge to engage with angel and early-stage venture capital investors. Featured by ScienceAbroad - ScienceAbroad is an Israel-based nonprofit organization that harnesses the power of senior Israeli scientists living abroad. Through its wide-reaching professional and social network, ScienceAbroad inspires connections with local communities, international scientists, and with Israel.
