We're best friends who work together

Our journey started as a dream. Built on a decade long friendship, we strived to bring a new energy to the venture scene. We operate differently from other firms where our word is our bond and our north star is our NPS. We're here to serve founders.

Investing is a team sport. We each have our strengths and weaknesses and strive to complement each other in service to our founders. But most importantly, we play to win and we leave it all on the field.

Our team in Israel went for a hike today that included exploring caves and jumping in natural spring pools. Why? Because it was our intern appreciation day! We love our summer analyst 2019 class and are grateful for all of their hard work!”

🎶 Woah, we're halfway there
Woah-oh, livin on a prayer
Take my hand, we'll make it, I swear
Woah-oh, livin on a prayer 🎶
