Our story
Have you completed your military service and have an idea that you're dying to turn into a technology venture? How do you turn it into something real? How do you go from "I have an idea" to "I have a startup"?
This is where OfekTech , Masa El Ofek's technology program, comes in.
OfekTech is a 16-week program where you don't learn about entrepreneurship, you do technological entrepreneurship with real feasibility.
You will work step by step on your idea, from the first moment until it becomes something tangible. You will learn about the tech world and receive professional guidance on all fronts: technology, finance, law, marketing and entrepreneurial mentality. Each and every one of you will receive personal guidance from senior women in the high-tech world, leading entrepreneurs and investors who have already gone this path and know exactly what it takes to succeed.
Throughout the program, you will meet young people like you who also have big ideas, learn how to build a product that people really need, and receive the tools to take your technology venture forward, even after the program ends.At the end of the process, you will reach DEMO DAY , the moment when you will stand on stage and present your venture to investors, entrepreneurs and industry professionals. This is the moment when the idea becomes a real story. We believe that you have it inside you. That you don't have to be a "certain type" to found a company. That with the right environment, the right support and the courage to go for it - dreams become reality. You are the ones who are going to change the Israeli high-tech world. Come on, ready to start?
* The program is intended for graduates of the Journey to the Horizon program only.
