Hetz Ventures

Hetz Ventures is a seed-stage venture capital firm based in Tel Aviv that invests in Israeli startups building AI infrastructure, data infrastructure, cybersecurity and enterprise software products. The firm leads or co-leads seed rounds, backing founders at the earliest institutional stage and focusing specifically on technical products aimed at enterprise buyers.

Beyond capital, the firm runs SPARQL, a programme for founders developing data and AI infrastructure ideas that provides infrastructure credits and discounts through partner companies. Named technology partners include Databricks, Snowflake, Confluent and Grafana. Portfolio companies also receive introductions to a network of data, AI and security executives, as well as to potential design partners and enterprise buyers.

The team's stated experience spans founding and exiting companies, leading engineering at scale, and working inside enterprises that may become a startup's first customers - a profile that informs the firm's hands-on support model. Hetz Ventures concentrates on ambitious Israeli founders and Israeli startups, with its sourcing, support network and partnerships oriented around the data, AI and security ecosystems in Israel.
