In its Acceleration Program, Eretz.bio has built a legacy by supporting more than 150 healthcare startups over seven years. 

In this equity-free program, startups receive support from Einstein and Eretz specialists in developing their solution and structuring their business in an assertive manner. 

Eretz.bio support is tailored to both the technology the startup is developing and to its stage of maturity.

These programs are structured into pre-acceleration, acceleration and late stage, depending on each startup’s level of maturity.
