Awz Ventures

Awz Ventures is a Canadian-Israeli venture capital firm that invests in security and intelligence technologies with both commercial and defensive applications. The firm manages more than $500 million across four funds, investing at multiple stages rather than concentrating on a single entry point. Its mandate spans security technologies, intelligence technologies, dual-use systems and defence technology, addressing markets that include security, intelligence, defence and public safety.

Portfolio support is hands-on and explicitly operational. Awz guides companies on product development, sales models, and the reach of customers and partners, and prepares them for fundraising, mergers, acquisitions or other liquidity events. The approach reflects the firm's stated aim of scaling technologies to commercial success rather than acting as a passive allocator.

The firm maintains a presence in four countries - Canada, Israel, the United States and the United Kingdom - and fields a global team drawn from investing, entrepreneurship and former security and intelligence leadership. That combination of business, technology and domain expertise underpins its sourcing and diligence in sectors where technical depth and institutional familiarity are consequential.
