What is UNICEF? A leading agency for child survival promoting childrens rights. For over 60 years, UNICEF has saved more children’s lives than any other organization in the world. We have the history and the experience to overcome obstacles like politics and poverty—even war—which can stand in the way of a child’s life. Everything that UNICEF does is for one purpose: to help children survive. We believe that every child has the right to survive, and we will do whatever it takes to save a child and secure childrens rights. What does UNICEF do? UNICEF is on the ground. Every moment of every day, UNICEF is on the ground providing lifesaving help for children in need. UNICEF works with governments, national bodies, international agencies, and civil society to support effective and essential actions at each phase of the life cycle of the child, including in pregnancy, early childhood, preschool, school-going years and in adolescence. We provide families with clean water and sanitation, we vaccinate against childhood illness, and we help protect children against deadly diseases, such as malaria. We provide nourishment to fight malnutrition, we care for children affected by HIV/AIDS, we protect children from abuse and we give children an education. About the Israeli Fund for UNICEF The Israeli Fund for UNICEF supports UNICEF’s lifesaving work through resource mobilization, advocacy and education.

Our focus is to Find, Fund & Grow promising early-stage Israeli digital health companies. Why Israel? This is where the deals are done! Israel is an ideal platform for early adopters in healthcare because of the resources available, the ease and low cost of clinical trials and beta sites. Israel has more NADAQ listed companies that any other country, beside the US. $3.4 billion raised in 2014 for 688 Israeli companies in high-tech and life sciences capital raising. This amount is 46% higher than 2013, and 2015 is exceeding 2014. In 2014 the exit activity was over $15 billion. With 4,000 startups in the Greater Tel Aviv area, the IMD Global Competitiveness Yearbook ranks Israel number 1 in the world for innovative capacity in 2014. We will succeed because of: • The booming industry of Digital Health. Goldman Sachs says a digital healthcare revolution is coming — and it could save America $300 billion. • The Israeli Government allows financial leverage by contributing non-equity seed money in start-ups. • With two world leading Health Care providers as partners we will have a structured due diligence to only fund and grow companies that will meet a need with a clear commercialization path. We will add substantial value to our portfolio companies with mentoring, clinical expertise and commercialization. We work directly with one of the largest healthcare providers in Israel, and our network of partners spans North America, Europe, and Asia. In addition, eHealth Ventures LLC has built a veteran team with expertise in healthcare, technology, startups, and investment capital. This combination of resources uniquely positions us to help promising new companies with great ideas flourish while giving investors a highly leveraged opportunity to get involved in the most promising eHealth developments in one of the most innovative startup ecosystems on the planet.
