Israel’s Largest Law Firm Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co. Joins Monaco Foundry’s World First Accreditation Platform For Start-ups

April 2023

Israel’s largest law firm, Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co., is the latest service provider to join Monaco Foundry’s ecosystem of high-potential start-ups, investors, industry experts and service providers. As Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co.’s preferred partner for start-ups in Israel, Monaco Foundry will onboard the new companies, guiding them through its data-driven accreditation and scoring system.

Over 1400 Israeli start-ups from fintech, cyber, smart cities, but also the life science sector (MedTech, digital health, biotech) will go through due diligence, receive an accurate company valuation, and a free company brief summarising their business. The start-ups will be able to create a data room, and benefit from an overview of their marketing strategy and competitor analysis.

This accreditation process will afford easier access to funding for start-ups in the Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co. portfolio. They will be able to grow their business faster through exposure to tens of thousands of investors worldwide from family offices, HNWI, private equity, VCs, angels, and private banks, who in turn can invest with confidence thanks to the Monaco Foundry’s transparent trust score given to each company.

Monaco Foundry’s business dashboard will enable Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co. to manage and monitor all the start-ups in its portfolio through a single interface that provides continuous real-time company assessments. Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co. will also be able to offer its legal and business development expertise to all the start-ups in the Monaco Foundry ecosystem.

Fabrice Marquet, co-founder of Monaco Foundry, said: “It is a win-win situation for Monaco Foundry, for Goldfarb Gross Seligman & Co., the start-ups the firm accompanies, but also for investors who will be able to have access to accredited start-ups and make investment decisions faster. We are the only company in the world that has developed an automatised accreditation and compliance monitoring process for start-ups. The partnership demonstrates how legal firms or any other service providers with deal-flow can benefit from the Monaco Foundry ecosystem.”

We are confident that Monaco Foundry’s accreditation and scoring will raise the success rate of the companies we accompany.”
