BSeed

B-Seed was created for the specific purpose of finding Israeli innovative technology at an early stage, investing in the startup and exiting within a few subsequent rounds, in order to generate outstanding returns for our investors.

Our team is made up of seasoned experts from the fields of information technology, engineering, biotechnology, manufacturing and logistics and is backed by partners from renowned patent and accounting firms. With offices in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem and third in New York, we are in a unique position to navigate Israel’s startup playing field and quickly identify the best early stage technologies. After carefully vetting these companies and doing our due diligence to determine if they are worthy of B-Seed investments, we select the startups that we feel will generate the highest return on investment.

We not only identify and invest in these startups; we complement their abilities with essential added value, such as connections, beta test sites, industry experts and consultants, as well as outside investors and even customers. By utilizing our network of contacts and resources, these new companies gain a solid foundation in order to parlay an idea into a successful company. Many of our team members are entrepreneurs who have run both large and small businesses and have been through the highs and lows of starting new ventures. Their advice and guidance is invaluable in achieving success and changing the status quo in their respective industries.

Whether the company is the accelerator or incubator stage, we are prepared to help it to grow to the next stage.

KoreConX

KoreConX is the world’s first highly-secure permissioned blockchain ecosystem for fully-compliant tokenized securities worldwide.

To ensure compliance with securities regulation and corporate law, the KoreConX all-in-one, AI-based blockchain platform manages the full lifecycle of tokenized securities including the issuance, trading, clearing, settlement, management, reporting, corporate actions, and custodianship. Connecting companies to the capital markets and secondary markets facilitates access to capital and liquidity for private investors.

The private capital markets are burdened by inefficient tools, fragmented processes and high costs. Companies are cobbling together systems such as email marketing tools for investor relations, online data storage for unstructured deal room services, and Excel for captable management, limiting their ability to manage their business in one platform, not to mention sharing that data with investors.

KoreConX replaces these unconnected tools with one platform that not only integrates the various functions but also provides blockchain and AI capabilities. Our all-in-one platform keeps all stakeholders engaged, informed and compliant in the private capital market ecosystem, while removing inefficiencies, duplication and reducing costs.
