A special partner

To help us on this trip, we added an exceptional co-pilot… one who has already travelled the road in other latitudes in the “Startup Nation”.

Traveling from Israel to Sunchales every month, Oren Gershtein and IdealityRoads unfolded the roadmap before our eyes and accompanied us on this fascinating itinerary. They brought us industry best practices, experiences, and the know-how necessary to understand every stretch of the deep tech investment map.

Since 2014, IdealityRoads has worked closely with CITES and the portfolio companies and becoming a special partner.
