How FAST Works
FAST Israel is a rapid investment program designed to accelerate early-stage fundraising for Israeli founders. Here's how it works:
- Submit for consideration via Brieflink
- If you've interacted with NFX within the past 12 months and didn't receive funding, please highlight the business improvements made in your application for reconsideration.
- Decisions in 7 days, winners have money in the bank in ~3 weeks
- Founders who receive funding join the NFX Guild, our portfolio of 400+ top Founders who support each other, and get mentorship from NFX Partners.
To apply:
Create a private BriefLink which includes a deck, a video and answers to 12 questions.
What Are We Looking For?
We are not tourists in Israel. We have deep roots in this ecosystem and have backed hundreds of Israeli founders. Now we are actively increasing our pace in Israel.
We are looking for founders with a clear vision, and ambition to create category defining companies with AI. Our focus areas are broad, but we are especially interested in Vertical AI, DevOps AI, Infra, Consumer and Deeptech.
Learn more about what each NFX Partner is interested in by visiting their Signal profiles: Gigi Levy-Weiss, Sarai Bronfeld, Morgan Beller, Omri Amirav-Drory, Pete Flint, James Currier, and Anna Piñol.
Here's our current portfolio.
