Gil Ben-Artzy, the program's founder, is in Israel these days to interview entrepreneurs interested in joining the program.
As part of the program, the entrepreneurs will move to the city of Palo Alto for three months, receive funding and an apartment and participate in workshops with experts from Silicon Valley, including investors, entrepreneurs and Google and Facebook officials.
This is the sixth round of companies in this accelerator, and they have achieved quite a nice record: Most of the program's graduates have raised $800,000 to $3 million so far.
Applications can be submitted on the company's website until July 22.
