Program Helps 10 Israeli Startups Make It In The US

Ten startups will participate in an annual mentoring program that will help them get a foothold in the US.

The program is run by consulting firm Deloitte, which has already accelerated 33 companies to date. These companies have collectively raised over $545 million. 

This year’s chosen companies will receive guidance from US and Israeli teams to address three major challenges: laying the foundation for a relocation to the US and physical expansion of a US office, establishing strong and sustainable sales infrastructure, and funding support for the next round. 

To qualify, startups must have a validated product, annual revenues of over half a million dollars, positive year-over-year growth, and the intention to relocate to the US within two years. 

These are the 10 companies selected for this year’s program:

1. Alison.ai uses AI to help businesses create more successful and profitable video ads by turning every creative element used, like sound, text, and colors, into measurable data. Its clients include brands, app developers, web advertisers, and agencies with an active online presence on social media.
   
2. Browsi personalizes advertisements on websites by collecting behavioral data from users. It says that it places the “right ad, at the right time, and in the right location”. The service is used by leading websites like CNN, WebMD, TMZ, and the Independent.
