IIA Tnufa (Individual Entrepreneur)
Supports IIA Tnufa for individual entrepreneurs to validate feasibility and shape technology ventures before incorporation.
IIA Tnufa (Individual Entrepreneur) is the Israel Innovation Authority’s pre-company feasibility track for technical entrepreneurs in Israel. It supports early-stage idea validation before a full operational company is formed and uses a matching structure in the U.S. dollar grant framework. The program profile shows an annual cycle, matching grants between $100,000 and $200,000, and a typical implementation period of around nine months. It is intended for feasibility-first risk reduction rather than late-stage scaling, with emphasis on technical plausibility and founder capability at the concept stage. The route is best suited to founders who can define a concrete problem, produce a short validation plan, and justify why public support should back early technical de-risking before venture-scale capital is sought.
