At the end of the day, growing your business is all about connecting with people. Here in Israel it's our bread and butter, as everyone knows everyone, but when you embark on the much larger and remote U.S market it's a different game. This is exactly when EFI chimed in - offering great connections with relevant domain experts that otherwise we would never be able to reach out to. A great example was the introduction made by Mark with Chris Baxley. Chris had the relevant background, quickly understood our business, and immediately proved useful. Lucky enough, we had the opportunity to meet him in person when we visited Nashville on a business trip, and then he went way and beyond to connect us with super relevant and very experienced local investors that provided excellent feedback and guidance, and I believe will become very relevant for us down the road.
Thank you Mark, Chris, and the EFI team!

When we were admitted into the Link-il program, they matched us with a top-level mentor who is a strategic consultant specializing in startups within our industry. This mentorship has been an incredibly valuable resource, particularly for an early-stage startup like ours.
Together, we worked to define our specific needs and align them with our available budget, which was modest. Our mentor explored several solutions and options to help us achieve our business goals within these constraints.
Throughout the ongoing mentorship, we’ve had the opportunity to gather first hand feedback from potential customers and users of our technology—an invaluable step in validating and refining our approach. We’re looking forward to the final results and reports as we continue to progress toward our business objectives.

Working with Link-il by EFI has been a fantastic experience for us. As a young startup operating in a niche and traditional market, identifying and engaging potential customers in the U.S. is a significant challenge. The EFI team demonstrated a deep understanding of our offering and target audience, successfully identifying the right prospects and connecting us directly to them. Their introduction led to a successful demo and, hopefully, a solid business relationship in the near future. It was a true ‘bingo moment’ — far exceeding our expectations. The follow-up and ongoing support from the EFI team have been nothing short of outstanding!

My experience with Link IL was excellent. They connected me with a connector / advisor, full of knowledge and experience, a business owner who has lived the entrepreneurial world his entire life and is genuinely committed to listening and sharing. He connected me with additional mentors on relevant topics that came up in our discussions and provided me with honest and valuable feedback on the product, as well as potential adjustments for the U.S. market. I highly recommend the program!
