Daniel Ring, Jonathan Goldfrid & Marcelo Pardo The Octopulse is the first niche crowdfunding portal for Israeli projects, focused mainly on music projects. It enables fans to bring artists where they wouldn t have gone otherwise, by crowdfunding the production costs. It also enables artists to fund their projects without the need for a label, by creating a direct connection between the artist and his fans. The Octopulse s project is an ambitious one: they want to change the way music business is done, empowering fans and freeing artists from the industry rules by introducing the concept of social production and ticketing. daniel.ring@gmail.com Ary Rubinstein & Danyel Chermon Natura Systems is an online platform where people all around the world are able to receive a customized online diet plan, follow their own progress trough special tracking tools, get one-on-one weekly meetings with a personal dietician, and go social sharing their goals or frustrations. ary@naturasystems.co m www.naturasystems.com Robert Barzelay, Yuli Gor, Vadim Manov & Aviran Mishiev EcoBasalt is a NanoTech CleanTech company that produces sustainable Materials made of super thin basalt fibers.
