DVx Ventures

We love when new things are being built. New companies, new relations, new perspectives. This is why we like to be amongst the first to join builders in their entrepreneurial journey. And since some endeavors are bigger than others, we are committed to go the long way. With over € 1.7bn under management and about 200 companies backed, HV’s funds have the resources and the experience needed. NEW COMPANIES HV’s funds invest early. Leading investment rounds with initial tickets between € 500k and € 5m. If a company is developing exceptional but was missed in the early stage, the relationship can also start in growth stages with tickets of up to € 20m as initial investment and follow on investments with up to € 100m per company. NEW RELATIONS Our network is our biggest value. In our history, we have backed hundreds of entrepreneurs, enabling great success stories. We are creating an ecosystem for companies to connect and thrive together. HV’s funds co-invest with a set of top international business angels and investors. NEW PERSPECTIVES We have backed about 200 companies in the last 20 years. We have enabled the creation of more than 100,000 jobs across all sectors of the industry.

We combine early-stage capital with hands-on support across product, design, growth, and fundraising. With the backing of Inviox Studios, our portfolio companies get access to world-class AAA-level creative, go-to-market execution, and investor network - all aligned around building lasting, scalable ventures.

As a venture house, our mission is to clear the path for founders who build companies that matter. Our hybrid setup, comprising PSV Foundry, PSV Lab, and two unique venture funds, PSV Tech and PSV Hafnium, sets us free from adhering to a singular method. Rather we rethink existing ways and models to maximise our impact beyond any individual firm or investment. Together, we can punch above our weight.

TLV is 100% committed to partnering with the best Israeli startups and going the distance together. TLV provides significant capital resources to support the process of building category-defining companies. We strive to be your true partners, through thick and thin, for whatever it takes to help your business thrive. At what stage/s do you typically invest? We invest in early-stage companies. We’ve invested in teams with little more than an idea as well as companies with initial traction. In more traditional VC terminology, we invest in seed and A rounds. As a fund we’re focused on helping companies reach product market fit, and love the work that goes into getting there. What is your average check size? Our typical investment ranges between $2-$8M. Since our portfolio is concentrated, we reserve up to $15M to invest over each company’s lifetime and have various tools to support late-stage rounds. What is it like to work with TLVP? First and foremost, our founders are best positioned to answer this question. So feel free to reach out to any of our incredible founders and ask them! More specifically, we believe that entrepreneurs are the ones who run their businesses, not us. They are immersed in their markets 24/7 and we rely on them to make good decisions. That said, we have LOTS of experience when it comes to early-stage companies, and extensive resources. So in addition to financial support, we provide good advice, networking assistance, and wisdom born of experience. Our portfolio companies value our honest perspective and choose to consult with us often. They count on us to challenge them to be the best they can be but never attempt to step into a management role. Who are your LPs? Our LP base primarily comprises US-based institutional investors. Among them are some of the best-performing institutional investors worldwide and we are proud to have them as our partners. What does a typical due diligence process with TLVP entail? First and foremost, we strive to be respectful of entrepreneurs’ time as we know it’s their most precious resource. In that vein, our diligence processes are quick, yet thorough. Our focus surrounds getting to know the team and idea, and the goal of the process is to develop joint conviction with the founders that our involvement in each company will serve as a force multiplier for the business going forward. Do you focus on specific sectors? Each investment team member has their own areas of expertise, and that information can be found on the team page. That said, we love investing in breakthrough technologies and trends that are not yet mainstream. At the end of the day, we strive to invest in companies that we are passionate about, which is why you might see certain areas of concentrations within our portfolio. Please feel free to view our “companies” page to view our current portfolio and their sectors of operation. Do you lead rounds? Yes. We are high conviction investors who rely on our own judgment for investment decisions. As such, we exclusively lead or co-lead rounds Do you participate in follow on rounds? Yes. We reserve up to $15m of capital for each portfolio company in order to participate and even lead follow on rounds. Additionally, our Opportunity Fund is a separate investment vehicle dedicated solely to doubling and tripling down in existing portfolio companies that have reached the growth stage. What’s the best way to contact TLVP? The best way to contact the fund is to reach out directly to the individual you feel is most relevant for your ask. We are a boutique firm, so all of our emails are simply: firstname@tlv.partners. We look forward to hearing from you! Do you invest solely in Israeli companies? Our mandate is simple: help the best Israeli entrepreneurs succeed. As such, we require at least one member of the founding team to be Israeli. There is no geographic restriction however, and our portfolio already consists of many companies based completely out of Israel.
