We are an Israeli-American investment group. Our specialty is in innovative ventures, commercial companies, and real estate opportunities in Israel and around the world. After more than a decade and more than 10,000 members from the Israeli market, Besadno launched InvestiNation for accredited U.S. investors. The Meaning of Besadno "Besadno" is an acronym for the Aramaic phrase, "bsiyata dishmaya, na'aseh v'natzliach". It means, “with G-d’s help, we will succeed”. These words reflect our understanding that we merit G-d's assistance when we engage in ethical behavior. As a commitment to these values, all of our early-stage investment opportunities are selected by our Investment Committee and approved by the Jerusalem Badatz Finance Committee, to ensure that they meet ethical and halachic standards. With G-d's assistance, Besadno identifies investment opportunities that provide high potential for profit.

ISAI gathers more than 300 Tech entrepreneurs who have decided to invest capital and experience to enable the advent of new French Tech champions. Pierre Kosciusko-Morizet (PriceMinister), Geoffroy Roux de Bezieux (Notus Technologies), Ouriel Ohayon (ZenGo), Stéphane Treppoz (Sarenza) and Christophe Raynaud are at the initiative of this project which aims to establish the most useful, performing and benevolent fund an entrepreneur can wish for. Joined by Jean-David Chamboredon, they federated 300 entrepreneurs that were later joined by family offices and institutional investors. ISAI thus has a sufficient investing and refinancing capacity to support the companies it backs over the long run. Some of the entrepreneurs that the first ISAI fund supported then became investors in subsequent funds. In total, more than €20B of revenue and 70,000 jobs have been created by the companies of our investors-entrepreneurs. The ISAI team and the managers of its portfolio companies can rely on this unparalleled collective experience. With over €500M under management, we wish to select original companies managed by outstanding teams. Remarkable, outstanding, that is the meaning of the Japanese word “ISAI”.
