The Israeli startup ecosystem has always been powered by…

The Israeli startup ecosystem has always been powered by access, trust and serendipity.

But finding the right investors, tracking active funds, and staying on top of the market is still more fragmented than it should be.

That’s why I built Israel VC, a free discovery layer for Israeli venture.

Founders can now search funds, explore investor profiles, track weekly Israeli venture news, and discover both local micro funds and international investors active in Israel. VCs can claim and verify their profile for increased visibility.

It’s still very much v1, but it's improving every week.

This week I added:

The Israeli startup ecosystem has traditionally operated on access, trust, and serendipity, though discovering the right investors, tracking active funds, and staying current with market developments remains fragmented. Israel VC was built as a free discovery layer to address these gaps in the venture landscape.

The platform allows founders to search funds, explore investor profiles, track weekly Israeli venture news, and identify both local micro funds and international investors active in Israel. Venture capitalists can claim and verify their profiles to increase their visibility on the platform.

The product is in early stages and improving weekly. Recent additions include 50 funds investing in Israeli startups, a dedicated reports page, and a #FIRGUN archive containing all funding rounds and exits from 2026.
