We work shoulder to shoulder with exceptional founders with huge dreams that once realized will make the world a better place.

We find and work with Israel’s best founders who are driven by a clear vision of how the world or an industry could be better. We share their obsession with bringing that vision to life. We do this at the very start of their journey by leading their Seed round. We are Israel’s Seed Fund. We are Tomorrow’s Seed Fund.

Investment Focus:

• We value teams that are diverse, supportive of each other and exceptionally committed.
• We value software. We value IP.
• We value doing over talking. We are more likely to invest our capital in teams that already invested their own resources and actually created something.
• We think Global. We appreciate teams that think global from day one, and validate their thesis with their target markets.
• We are vertical-agnostic. The world is changing is so fast these days, what’s a vertical anyway?!
• We have a preference for startups with Israeli founders. We were Israeli founders. We know the pros and the cons, we think we can help maximize the value of the first while working around the later.

How we work

• We lead seed rounds: We like to get to know founders at the earliest stage of their journey. We don’t lead Series A rounds though we reserve capital to follow our investments. We invest at fair terms, are transparent in our process, respectful of founder time so aim to get from first meeting to a term sheet within 4 weeks.
• We take a proactive stance to get our startups to Series A: We are founders and operators not bankers or consultants. We know that in the early days, founders need maximum freedom to explore and test. While we don’t have a crystal ball, we have converted our experience into a roadmap to help our startups to achieve product-market fit and reach critical milestones sooner. Aggregating our knowledge and experience, we offer founders a comprehensive "Seed to Series A" program. Working with you from investment to build out your company execution plan, strategy, areas where you need the most support, to focus the resources you get, through to helping you with the fundraising.
