What is CIV-TAU?

Welcome to the initial website for the Coller Institute of Venture. Founded in 2013, the Institute is housed within Tel Aviv University (TAU) and will have its official launch in January 2014. In the meantime like all ventures we are in our beta stage and keen to collaborate and so encourage all comments as we embark on our journey to become the global forum for venture capitalism.
Vision is not enough; it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up the steps; we must step up the stairs. Vaclav Havel

So by having his hand at a friendly counter point, he listed 7 assertions that he thinks aren't true. Giving the experiences of being an entrepreneur, and later became a VC, Mark does have a good standing point.
