Velocity Fast-Track Funding Program - Funding and Geographic Insights As we conclude our week-long series of highlights from the Velocity accelerator program, we are thrilled to share the final key insight. Nearly 80% of the startups vying for funding under the Velocity program had not received prior funding. This highlights the significant need for initial funding support among emerging startups. Additionally, the top five states accounted for a significant 58% of all applications, while the top ten states collectively represented an impressive 82% of the applications. These insights reflect the strong demand for funding among startups through accelerator programs such as ours. The data underscores the importance of providing financial support to a wide array of DeepTech innovators across the country. Thank you for following along and supporting the Velocity program. We look forward to continuing our mission to foster and accelerate groundbreaking DeepTech startups across the nation. Stay tuned for more updates from Team Velocity!

What's good about the Velocity Fast-track Startup Funding program is that 82% of the 1,282 applications came from the top 10 states. What's great is that close to 80% of the applicants were making their debut when it came to funding. Clearly, there's depth in India's DeepTech startup ecosystem. And hunger too. We're now finalising the shortlist as we get closer to issuing term sheets, so do watch this space... #deeptech #funding #startups #india

The ever-changing landscape of #VentureCapital plays an intriguing role in shaping the trajectory of startups worldwide. Recent shifts in early-stage funding, however, spotlight a facet often skimmed over, yet fundamental. With the rise of non-traditional players in VC market, the rules of the game are changing. More than a well-drafted business plan or an advanced tech solution, startups need adaptability and resilience, ready to pivot and seize unforeseen opportunities. According to CB Insights, 67% of startups stall at some point in the VC process and fail to exit or raise follow-on funding. The reason, experts say, is the all-too-common mismatch of startup and investor expectations. New approaches to funding are rapidly emerging as factors such as decentralization and democratization play in. These trends may tip the scale in the startup’s favor, provided they've mastered the art of adaptability. Moreover, with a reported 16% of startups now funded by non-traditional VCs, the monopoly of conventional VCs is being challenged. This shakedown raises a compelling question: are we on the precipice of a new funding paradigm? As this year wraps up, who will power the next wave of innovation in early-stage funding? “You can read more about it here https://lnkd.in/dpwsWrch" #Startups #EarlyStageFunding #Innovation #InvestmentTrends

In a very short time, we've transformed from an idea to a proof of concept, partnered with market leaders, and are now laser-focused on execution. We are excited to be part of this incredible program which brings together hundreds of investors, mentors, and leading figures from the Israeli tech ecosystem.
