We are first check investors in Israeli founders building for the US market. We are most interested in backing teams with at least 1 Israeli founder who have (or plan to have) the CEO based in the US -- this is because we are big believers in being next to your customers and leading your GTM from your target market starting at the earliest stages.
We invest in pre-seed and seed stage Israeli founders looking to establish their operational HQ in the US from day one, with the CEO physically present in the US. For us, that means businesses targeting other geographies are not a fit.
