| | July 202119By Javier Shocron, Head of Deal-Flow, Maverick Ventures IsraelWhen I was first asked to write about any startup I have in mind, my first thought was to go for the excitement and write about the most exciting company I met during 2019. But instead of telling you about Tevel - drones that autonomously harvest your fruits, Binah.ai - an app that allows you to take medical measurements from the front camera of your smartphone, Utilis - a company that detects water leaks through analyzing satellite images or the ability to transform any 2D into a 3D model (and not ­ that's not from the entire Israeli start-up ecosystem, but only from our humbled portfolio), I've chose to tell you about an enabling technology and a company called PrintCB, which initially may seem more traditional but once you understand the potential.PrintCB developed a copper-ink (CopPair) for the Printed Electronics industry, one of the fastest-growing trends in electronics manufacturing today, enabling printing of devices on various substrates and structures. Copper is a key material in the electrical and electronics industry, it is highly conductive, as well as low cost. Printing of copper has been this industry's dream for many years. However, physical barriers prevented the effective printing of copper mainly due to oxidation considerations.To date, most platforms printing electronics use silver-inks which are highly conductive but expensive. This is why the development of copper ink is so important. PrintCB's technology is so disruptive because it maintains conductivity levels similar to silver inks while cutting the costs by 50% off (and counting, THE POWER OF ENABLINGSTARTUP INSIDERVC TALKThe Future is Telepathic
