In a surprising turn of events, the attacks on Monero are at least partially funded by Israeli military/intelligence operatives:

Quoted:
Oh, boy. Check out the funding sources for Qubic.
VC/Corporate
Plum Ventures, Feng Yu, Eminence Ventures, QAI Ventures, Creative Destruction Lab (amounts not disclosed)
State/Public
- The Accelerator Centre (amount not disclosed)
- University of Toronto Entrepreneurship (amount not disclosed)
- Massachusetts Technology Collaborative (via QUBIC Labs) $1.96M grant for blockchain incubator.
These have clear connections through partnerships, personnel, or public support for Israel.
1) Creative Destruction Lab
An AI/ML accelerator supporting Qubic-related tech has multiple ties via its mentors and alumni.
Key personnel include Israeli nationals with military backgrounds: Dror Berman (mentor) served in an elite Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) unit. Liran Belenzon (alumnus and startup founder) was an IDF commander for three years.
CDL's network fosters innovation that aligns with Israel's "Startup Nation" ecosystem.

2) QAI Ventures
This quantum/AI-focused VC operates in a US-Israel quantum tech ecosystem. US-Israel plans for a $200M joint fund in AI/quantum aim to boost ties -QAI Ventures backs Israeli companies.
Over 500 VC firms, including those in quantum space, signed public support for Israel post-2023 attacks. QAI's focus aligns with Israel's quantum leadership.

3) University of Toronto Entrepreneurship
U of T's entrepreneurship programs (supporting Qubic via incubators) have extensive partnerships with Israeli institutions, including the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
Collaborations include the "International Entrepreneurship Highway" for Israeli-Canadian startup exchanges, joint research alliances, and innovation funding. Protests allege these enable Israeli apartheid, genocide and military tech.

4) The Accelerator Centre
This Canadian accelerator (linked to Qubic Technologies via support for AI/quantum startups) operates in a context of growing Israeli-Massachusetts collaborations.
Israeli entities like Sheba Medical Center (Israel's largest hospital) are establishing AI healthcare accelerators in Massachusetts, providing "soft landing" for Israeli startups. Protests highlight concerns over these as extensions of Israeli military tech (e.g., AI used in Gaza).
Similar programs (e.g., MassChallenge, world's largest accelerator, expanded to Jerusalem) have been described as having a "Zionist agenda" by promoting Israeli entrepreneurship. While not the exact same entity, The Accelerator Centre benefits from this ecosystem.
Ties are economic and innovative, but critics link them to broader Zionist tech promotion amid calls to boycott Israeli-linked accelerators.
