On June 14, 2017,  IM Capital joined a pool of investment experts in testing early-stage ideas and interacting with the 20 promising startups from the first batch of Agrytech accelerator. The “Avant Premiere” event featured an investment game to validate the projects feasibility. Every attendee sought to diversify his/her portfolio by investing monopoly money and IM Capital’s portfolio was diversified and included three startups that collected the highest amounts: Smart Gourmet, Makanat, and Meka-Prep. After undergoing a comprehensive bootcamp for 6 weeks with hands-on workshops in business, marketing, product development, funding and strategy, only 10 to 12 startups will move on to the second phase of the program. All 20 startups of Batch 1 will be pitching to the public at the first Demo Day on July 12, 2017.
