This is fine, however the problem may arise when you actually going to raise additional capital and create a company. At this stage you will have to close your &quot;osek murshe&quot; and transfer all your intellectual property (patents, etc) to a newly created company. My fear is that this event may be taxable, i.e. I&#39;m afraid that they will want to tax that investment.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><a href="http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/chief_scientist_tnufa_program">read more</a></p> http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/chief_scientist_tnufa_program#comments Investment Thu, 15 Nov 2007 07:55:51 -0600 demiurg 397 at http://www.startupisrael.com http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/seed_investment_clarifications <p>Hi guys, </p><p>First of all I&#39;d like to commend you - this site is packed with interesting news (I specifically like the aggregator), and it&#39;s nice to see more informative sites destined for the Israeli entrepreneurship community.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>On to my question - I am working with several partners on a Web 2.0 start-up, we&#39;ve got a prototype done, an executive summary, have a document we wrote for ourselves for the idea (not really a business plan yet), getting a presentation ready, and we are planning on meeting with investors soon and present our project.</p><p>The project is in its seed stage, we want financing in order to develop a beta from the prototype, as well as file for patents, conducting more market research, etc.</p><p><a href="http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/seed_investment_clarifications">read more</a></p> http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/seed_investment_clarifications#comments Investment Tue, 23 Oct 2007 09:09:37 -0500 jeroku 384 at http://www.startupisrael.com http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/business_plan_competitions we students at London Business School created a new business plan competition last year that might be interesting for many startups from Israel: The Global Security Challenge looks for emerging technologies/startups in the security technology space and awards a $500,000 grant to the winning entrepreneurs.

My name is Igor.I&#39;m doing now MBA in Taiwan. My question is related to the Financial statements of the Start-Up companies. Is it possible to see it ( like what we can do for the public companies). Also , my research is also related to the Start-Up comanies that have been closed during decline period :2002-2003. Is there any chance to see their financial statements ( cashe flow , balance sheet , etc) Please advise. Thanks! http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/the_financial_statements#comments Investment Tue, 08 May 2007 04:03:09 -0500 igorbo 307 at http://www.startupisrael.com http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/checking_the_market Hi, I have a great idea for a new net software that targets a specific part of the market - but a considerable part of it (especially since it has international potential). I've developed a simple sketch and tried it with some people around me and it is well accepted and utilized until now. The question is, what is the best cost-effective way to test the relevant market and see if the demand is really there? How do I do it without compromising secrecy? Thanks, Yaniv http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/checking_the_market#comments Investment Mon, 01 Jan 2007 18:16:49 -0600 132 at http://www.startupisrael.com http://www.startupisrael.com/investment/funding Hi, My name is Avi and I have an idea that is unique and can make lots of money..
