                       STARTUP STATION PLC ANNOUNCES
                 $2,000,000 STAKE IN BMYPC VIRTUAL COMPUTING

Startup Station Plc, the Intellectual Venture Capital firm, announced today
that it has agreed to invest $2,000,000, over the next four months, in BmyPC,
a provider of Virtual Desktop Computers based in Tel-Aviv.

BmyPC brings virtual computing services to consumers, enabling them to store
their personal content, and operate their software applications in a virtual
desktop environment, from any device that can access the world wide web.

BmyPC plans to announce the launch of its online virtual desktop services
later this week, and will begin providing Internet users with anytime-anywhere
access and use of their digital data.

Startup Station plans to continue to develop its portfolio of investments by
seeking out quality technology companies like BmyPC, and making initial
investments, both financial and managerial, that will help them to develop
their businesses.

Yossi Cohen, CEO of BmyPC, commented:

"Today, people require more immediate access to their personal, as well as
business files and software applications. Some people have more than one
office or more than one computer. Use of a BmyPc virtual computer in
tandem with a personal computer, assures each of our users far greater
connectivity with their digital data."

On BmyPC's relationship with Startup Station he stated: "We view Startup
Station as more than an investor. We see them as partners with a shared
vision, who will be of great assistance in pushing our company forward."

Ziv Navoth, Managing Director of Startup Station, commented:

"I am delighted to announce our investment in BmyPC, which reflects our
strategy to invest in firms that enable the Networked Economy. BmyPC is a
prime example of the companies we will continue to seek out. It offers a new
approach to virtual computing which I strongly believe will shape the future
of how we use the Internet for both business and pleasure."

This is the first investment announced by Startup Station since its re-launch
on 28th April 2000.
