Program details
Treat the Dragonfly:CA criteria and $150,000 funding figure advertised in a historical call as past information, not confirmed terms for a current intake. Tonbo’s official page links to a startup application form, but its current intake details are not established. Confirm current cohort terms before relying on the rolling-review statement.
Who it is for
Tonbo’s host site identifies Israeli entrepreneurs as an investment audience, but the Program’s specific citizenship, residency, and incorporation requirements are not established. A historical Dragonfly:CA call sought climate-focused startups with market traction or product validation and teams ready to scale; those past criteria should not be assumed to define current eligibility.
