Tmura: The Non-Profit that Uses Israeli Startup Exits to Do Good

TmuraTmura, an Israeli non-profit, is closing on its 10-year anniversary. In a decade's worth of work it has contributed a whopping $6.3M+ to educational programs. The extraordinary amount isn't the result of efficient fundraising, rather, of having been allotted small amounts of options by early-stage startups. Tmura then exercises these options when the startups see a liquidation event. Out of a portfolio of 240 companies, 40 saw exits, the most recent of which XtremIO's acquisition by EMC netted Tmura $450,000.
