Winning First Prize at the Capstone Project Finals! 

Hay Zagory, 3rd year student, The Adelson School of Entrepreneurship

Deep-tech innovation in healthcare doesn't happen in a vacuum. It takes a relentless drive to turn complex science into a solution that can truly transform patients' lives. When we brought FiBreath into the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship’s 3rd-year Accelerator Program, we had a bold vision for targeted inhalation therapy. What we needed was the right ecosystem to turn that potential into a market-ready reality.

The year-long Accelerator wasn't just an academic milestone; it was a hands-on incubator for real-world execution. What truly set this experience apart was the exceptional leadership of our program managers, Dr. Tami Yogev and Oz Alon, alongside a special thanks to Sharon Zahavi for her invaluable support. Their unique combination of high-level professional guidance, unwavering commitment, and genuine warmth made all the difference. They were in the trenches with us every step of the way, challenging us to grow and helping me mature as a complete founder across every domain.

Through every strategic pivot, business model refinement, and regulatory challenge, having that level of dedicated, personal mentorship was priceless.

Taking 1st place at the Capstone Project Finals was an amazing validation of that entire journey. The feedback from the judging panel provided us with immediate momentum as we move forward into our next phases of development and IP strategy.

I am deeply grateful to Reichman University, the Adelson School of Entrepreneurship, and especially to Tami, Oz, and Sharon for creating an environment where founders can truly thrive. Winning the competition is an incredible milestone, but for FiBreath, the real mission of redefining drug delivery is just beginning.
