Intempo Ventures is a verifiable Tel Aviv-based micro-VC/angel firm focusing on early-stage investments in Israel and Barcelona. While the firm exists and has a visible portfolio (e.g., Flying Spark, PolyPid, BIGVU), the submission contains significant red flags and inaccuracies. The claim that 'most people have used my product' is demonstrably false for a niche investment firm, and the claimed team size of 30 contradicts external data showing a core team of roughly 5 people. The 'marketcap' figure of 2.5M is ambiguous (likely fund size or valuation, not revenue). The project scores poorly due to niche reach, lack of technical innovation (service business), and low-quality submission evidence, despite having legitimate real-world utility for its specific target audience.

Description
Intempo Ventures is a Tel Aviv-based investment firm focused on partnering with visionary entrepreneurs in Israel and Barcelona (Spain ). We are seeking to join ambitious entrepreneurs who have the potential to become category leaders of the future. In particular, we look for early-stage Hitech companies that address substantial markets and offer simple solutions to their complex problems. Intempo Ventures targets Early-stage startups operating within sectors in which the project has a proven innovative edge. These include: FinTech (e-commerce payments), MedTech(Medical Devices) , BioTech(Sustainable proteins) and DeepTech(Photonics/Semiconductor). Our investment philosophy and brand are inspired by legendary investor Bill Gross, who famously said, "Timing is the single biggest reason startups succeed." This belief drives our strategic approach to identifying and nurturing startups with the right ideas at the right time. Our investment strategy targets pre-seed and seed-stage opportunities with a validated product-market fit, focusing on companies valued at $10 million or less. While we don’t typically serve as lead investors, we are unafraid to take the initiative and be the first to write a check into a promising business.
