This fund, announced recently, brings the firm’s total assets under management to nearly $500 million, showcasing its growing influence in the Israeli tech ecosystem.
Driving Innovation in Key Tech Sectors
The new fund will primarily focus on investing in Israeli startups specializing in AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, and enterprise software, sectors where Israel has established a global reputation.
With a track record of $1 billion in portfolio exit value, Hetz Ventures is well-positioned to identify and nurture high-potential companies in these competitive fields.
A History of Resilience and Success
Founded with a vision to back ambitious Israeli founders, Hetz Ventures has consistently supported deep-tech innovators since its inception, even amidst regional challenges.
The firm’s commitment to resilience was evident in 2023, as it continued to invest and grow despite geopolitical tensions, reflecting the broader strength of Israel’s startup ecosystem.
Impact on Israel’s Tech Landscape
This $140 million fund comes at a pivotal time, as Israeli startups raised over $1.6 billion in December 2025 alone, marking the strongest funding month since 2022.
By injecting capital into early-stage ventures, Hetz Ventures is poised to fuel the next wave of tech unicorns, further solidifying Israel’s status as a global innovation hub.
