About Us

Where Israeli Innovation Meets European Enterprise

We're an early-stage venture capital firm investing in Israeli cybersecurity startups from pre-seed to Series A. We bridge two worlds: Israel's unmatched cyber innovation ecosystem and Europe's enterprise market, providing founders with both strategic capital and proven distribution channels.

We offer more than capital: direct enterprise buyer access, go-to-market guidance for European markets, regulatory positioning support, and exit strategy planning from investors who've built the bridge before.

FAQ

All You Need to Know

Quick answers to help you get the most out of your unified workspace
What stage do you invest in?

We primarily invest at pre-seed, seed, and Series A stages - typically when Israeli founding teamshave strong technical credibility and early validation, but need capital and European market access toreach product-market fit and scale across DACH/European markets.

Do I need a warm introduction to pitch you?

Not at all. While referrals from our network help, we review every pitch from Israeli cyber founders. If you have background or proven cyber expertise and are building for European enterprises, reach out directly.

What sectors do you focus on?

We focus exclusively on cybersecurity - particularly identity & access management, cloud security, AI security, data protection, threat detection & response, and application security. We prioritize solutions with strong European regulatory alignment (GDPR, NIS2, DORA).

How hands-on are you post-investment?

Very hands-on. We provide direct introductions to 120+ European enterprise customers through Cyverse, help navigate European procurement processes, advise on regulatory positioning (GDPR,NIS2), support key hires, and stay involved through scaling, follow-on rounds, and exits.

What do you look for in a founding team?

Elite cybersecurity expertise , clear product vision addressing urgent enterprise needs, awareness of European market dynamics and regulatory requirements, execution velocity, and global ambition with specific European expansion strategy.

How long does your decision process take?

We move quickly. When there's strong alignment on technical merit and European market fit, we can go from first meeting to term sheet in 2-3 weeks. Our operational backgrounds and investment experience allow us to make conviction calls fast.
