Startups in this program are expected to sign a participation agreement outlining the terms and conditions, offer Arieli Capital the right of first refusal for investment, and commit to a 5% success fee for any commercial deals or investments facilitated by the program. Additionally, they are expected to maintain transparent and ongoing communication with program management.
