Frequently asked

Pre-Series A companies that have deployed a product and shown early market traction in cybersecurity, anti-fraud, risk and compliance or physical security. Dreamit looks for evidence of early product-market fit as revenue, pilots or design partnerships, and requires a US C-Corp, although Israeli corporations are accepted without conversion.

Dreamit writes an initial cheque of $500k to $1.5m in pre-Series A financing and reserves similar amounts for follow-on investments. Its standard term gives Dreamit the right to invest up to $1M and a small amount of equity, which it does not quantify publicly.

No deadline and no cohort schedule appear anywhere on Dreamit's site. Intake is an open form and Dreamit contacts founders after they submit.

Weekly mentorship, plus two signature sprints. Customer Sprints curate meetings with 20 to 30 potential institutional buyers, which Dreamit says shortens sales cycles by giving access to senior executives. Investor Sprints are typically 20 to 40 one-on-one meetings with cyber-focused investors over two weeks.
