Boston, MA – Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, P.C. is partnering with BootCamp Ventures to host an Israel Innovation Road Trip consisting of 15 Israeli start-up technology companies seeking their first round of Series A financing from institutional investors. The presentations will take place in Boston on July 11th and 12th and in New York on July 13th.
The Road Trip gives 15 of Israel’s most innovative technology start-ups the chance to present before panels of seasoned investors and entrepreneurs and an interactive audience of investors. The emphasis of the events will be on the presenting companies, each of whom will provide a 30-second elevator pitch and six minute focused investor presentation.
“For the past 10 years Mintz Levin has had an active presence in Israel, working with some of the most cutting-edge technologies companies in the country,” said Ken Novack, Senior Counsel in the firm’s Boston office. “Sponsoring the Innovation Road Trip is the perfect opportunity to shine a light on Israel’s youngest and most exciting technology companies and to show investors and entrepreneurs in the U.S. the innovative work we’ve seen coming out of the country for years.”
Dan DeWolf, Co-chair of the firm’s Venture Capital & Emerging Companies Practice Group added, “With dozens of our clients based in or doing business in Israel, the Road Trip is a natural fit for Mintz Levin. Israeli companies have been world leaders in innovation in the internet, software, life sciences, healthcare and renewable energy sectors – all areas in which Mintz Levin is particularly strong with regard to providing large and small companies with strategic advice and legal counsel.”
