Nest Catalyst Ventures

Nest Catalyst supports scientist-founders in US and Israel who are looking to commercialize their scientific findings and knowledge by founding a company. 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.
