Yaron Kniajer שיתף את זהBuilding Surround Ventures has been an entrepreneurial journey with a great deal of learning along the way, and I am very excited to launch our second fund. As a finance person at heart who shifted into the VC world centered around people, I always say that we are ultimately a derivative of the underlying asset, the entrepreneurs we are fortunate to work with. We look forward to continuing to work hard alongside the founders we partner with and help where we can in building some of the world’s most important deep tech startups emerging from Israel. I am truly grateful to the founders, investors, advisors, and everyone who chose to join us on this journey.Yaron Kniajer שיתף את זה🚀 Excited to announce the first closing of Surround Ventures II We are proud to launch Surround Ventures II, a $50M Israeli-American early-stage venture capital fund, focused on deep-tech and defense-tech startups addressing some of the world’s most critical and strategically important challenges. Surround Ventures operates at the intersection of the two primary sources of deep-tech innovation in Israel - the IDF’s elite technology units and leading academic institutions - combining differentiated early access to exceptional founders with a proven ability to support companies globally through business development and strategic positioning.

Yaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהYaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהToday I'm joining True Global Ventures as a General Partner on TGV Fund 6. I am taking this on alongside SPiCE VC, where I remain co-founder and Managing Partner. The two funds carry substantially different mandates, and the roles sit alongside each other. SPiCE VC continues excactly as it has, and TGV is an addition. Here's how it happened. I came into TGV as an LP first. That is how I prefer to evaluate every firm, from the inside, watching how decisions get made, how the team thinks, how they treat their founders. Along the way I worked with several Fund 4 and Fund 5 portfolio companies and the first two Fund 6 investments. What I saw was a firm with a global network, real conviction and a clear thesis: AI-first vertical companies at the late seed and Series A stage. It is the same investment logic I wrote about in 𝑰𝒏𝒗𝒆𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒊𝒏 𝑹𝒆𝒗𝒐𝒍𝒖𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔: identifying companies at the inflection point of a technology wave before the market fully prices it in. Dušan Stojanović and Beatrice Lion have built something rare. A fund that operates at global scale while keeping the judgment that early-stage investing depends on. When they asked me to join the partnership, it wasn't a hard decision. TGV Fund 6 is focused on AI-first companies. Not AI as a feature bolted onto existing software, but companies built from the ground up around what AI actually makes possible: vertical applications, workflow transformation, the kind of structural business model changes that happen once in a generation. That's exactly the intersection I've been writing and investing around. Excited for this next chapter. More to come. https://lnkd.in/dCGuQN69TRUE GLOBAL VENTURES APPOINTS TAL ELYASHIV AS GENERAL PARTNERTRUE GLOBAL VENTURES APPOINTS TAL ELYASHIV AS GENERAL PARTNER

I am incredibly proud to announce that we have been acquired by Elbit Systems to lead the global revolution in ground robotics and physical AI. When we founded Bluewhite, our mission was clear: to transform off-road operations into intelligent, autonomous systems that keep people out of harm's way while maximizing operational efficiency. Over the last few years, as the need to save lives with robotics capabilities transitioned dramatically to the defense sector, Bluewhite’s technology and maturity were recognized and embraced by a defense titan like Elbit. This acquisition is a testament to the relentless dedication, brilliance, and resilience of our entire team. By partnering with Elbit’s new multi-domain robotics group, FUSE, we are going to bring these lifesaving capabilities globally. To the Bluewhite family—thank you for your unwavering belief in our mission. Along the way, we brought in amazing people and investors to join the journey and support our mission. A special thanks to my fellow board members Avi Eyal , Daniel Aronovitz , Micha Jesselson , Boaz Lifshitz, Ravit Warsha Dor, and most of all, to my partner Yair Shahar.

Yaron Kniajer הגיבו על זהYaron Kniajer הגיבו על זהHumbled to be included on this year’s Midas List. But the real story for me is something else entirely: Building Cerebras and Eclipse at the same time. Over the last decade, we’ve tried to build Eclipse the same way we build companies: With conviction, technical depth, operational intensity, and people who know how to execute in the real world. Not just invest in it. What’s been most rewarding personally is getting to build every day alongside extraordinary operators and leaders like those at Cerebras: Sean Lie on the technical side, Jessica Liu and Angela Yeung on product, Dhiraj Mallick across manufacturing, fabs, and data centers, Alan Chhabra and Alex Varel on GTM, Bob Komin on financing, debt, and backstops, Andrew Feldman on fundraising, GTM, and countless other things — and many others across the ecosystem who have helped turn ambitious ideas into real companies. At Cerebras, Andrew Feldman and the team are redefining the future of AI compute infrastructure. Across the Eclipse Economy, founders and leaders like Even Rogers at True Anomaly, Boris Sofman at Bedrock Robotics, Alex Kendall at Wayve, Kevin Kassekert at VulcanForms Inc., Chris Walti at Mytra, and Sviat Dulianinov at Bright Machines, and many more, are building foundational companies at the intersection of bits and atoms. These companies don’t get built from a spreadsheet. They get built through years of technical risk, operational complexity, manufacturing scale, customer obsession, and relentless execution. This is what I do, and this is what I love doing. Grateful to all of the founders, teams, customers, and LPs who’ve been part of the journey — and to Iain Martin and the Forbes team for the recognition. We’re just getting started. https://bit.ly/4fFJqTy

Yaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהYaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהThe questions I get asked most often by investors these days aren't about which startup to back. They're about how to back one properly. The early-stage world is moving fast right now. SAFE agreements have become the default for so many rounds, and yet the same questions keep coming up from private investors: How do the tax benefits actually work in practice? What do you really need to understand before signing a SAFE? And how should you be structuring early-stage investments under the new 2026 rules and frameworks? These aren't trivial questions. Getting them right matters - both for you and for the founders you're trying to back. That's why tomorrow, on May 25, we're hosting an open session for investors together with Goldfarb Gross Seligman and PwC. No slides-for-the-sake-of-slides, no formality. Just a practical, honest conversation about the legal, tax, and financial realities every angel should understand before writing the next check. Our VP Investments Einat Klein and I will be speaking, alongside Ayal Shenhav and Mor Kushilevitz. Come with your questions. Come with your dilemmas. This is meant to be a real discussion, not a lecture. Register here ➡️ https://lnkd.in/dfd-Y_yC A few notes: spots are limited, the session is for private investors only, and registration doesn't guarantee a place. Whether you've been investing for years or are just starting to think about your first angel deal, I'd like to see you there. #AngelInvesting #EarlyStage #StartupInvesting #SAFE #VentureCapital #IsraeliStartups #StartupNation #InvestorRelations #TaxPlanning #Fintech #PrivateInvestors #StartupEcosystem HiCenter Ventures HiFund Liza Haber Liza Koren Ilana Averkin Hila Ehrenreich Moran Ben Harosh Sharon Erlichman Gál Vered Iris Tzur

Yaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהYaron Kniajer אהבתי את זהThe Trump administration will take $2B worth of funding in 9 US-based Quantum companies, reports the The Wall Street Journal. The Trump administration just expanded its quantum portfolio, unveiling a $2B package of grants to nine quantum computing companies and foundries (specialised manufacturing factories). In return, the Commerce Department is taking minority equity stakes. The two foundry players IBM and GlobalFoundries lead with $1B and $375M investment, respectively. While US-based quantum computing firms D-Wave, Rigetti Computing, Infleqtion, PsiQuantum, Quantinuum and Atom Computing each receive $100M, with Australian-founded Diraq expected to take up to $38M to develop their respective hardware modalities. Markets responded immediately with shares across the named firms climbing 7% to 21% in premarket trading. A federal package of this size, structured this way, is one of the clearest signals yet that quantum is becoming a strategic asset for the US. The quantum industry scientific and engineering progress has earned it. Hardware and software roadmaps are progressing, error rates are falling, and the leading platforms are converging on credible paths to useful quantum advantage.

Remepy has publicly released the 1st ever Hybrid Drug data for Parkinson's Disease. With this exciting data, we are also announcing our plans to launch our phase 3 trial with Hybridopa, our investigational Hybrid Drug for Parkinson's later this year. We are showing what everyone has known for years, that the best way to treat Parkinson’s, is a combination of pharmacological, behavioral, cognitive, and physical interventions working together. and that this combination showed very promising results in our phase 2a study just published. Few patients have access to multidisciplinary care consistently. That’s what makes hybrid drugs so exciting. We are turning multi-disciplinary treatment into a new type of medicinal product. and we are also providing mechanistic data, using MRI imaging, as to why it has such a strong clinical effect! Seeing the first clinical data showing that integrating medication with personalized digital interventions can meaningfully improve outcomes is a big moment, not just for Parkinson’s, but for how we think about treatment altogether.

IVC Data and Insights

The Share of Serial Founders in Israel’s Tech Is Rising IVC Data and Insights analysis reveals a shift in the profile of founders establishing new tech companies in Israel. The data points to a rising share of serial founders, alongside a decline in the share of first-time founders. While in 2021–2022 serial founders accounted for around 25% of all active founders, their share rose sharply to 35% during 2023–2025 (through July). The 2025 data is still partial, and some moderation in the dominance of serial founders is possible. However, based on trends observed in 2023–2024, their share is expected to remain significantly higher than pre-pandemic levels. At the same time, the number of new tech companies founded in Israel each year has been declining for more than a decade. According to IVC Data and Insights estimates, around 650 new companies were established in 2024. The final figure will only be confirmed by mid-2026, but the data already shows a roughly 60% decline compared to 2023. The rising share of serial founders likely reflects tighter funding conditions. As capital became harder to raise from 2023 onward, founders with prior fundraising experience were better positioned to establish new ventures.

The Future of Aging: Where Longevity Meets Innovation Join us at Biomed Israel 2026 for a session dedicated to aging, on May 12 at 12:00-14:00. Session moderated by: Varda Shalev, MD, MPA, Managing Partner, Team8 Health Anat Naschitz, Managing Partner, 9vc Pablo Cabral, MD, Executive Director, External Innovation, Eli Lilly Aging research enters a new era, shifting from observational studies of lifespan to a mechanistic exploration of the biological processes that drive decline at both the cellular and systemic levels. Advances in genomics, epigenetics, metabolism, and immune aging are beginning to identify intervention points that may extend health span rather than merely lifespan. While most approaches remain early, the field is shifting toward targeted, evidence-based strategies that combine biology, therapeutics, and digital tools. Looking ahead, the challenge will be translating promising science into safe, scalable interventions while addressing ethical, regulatory, and societal implications. #Longevity #Healthspan #AgingResearch #HealthcareInnovation

I am filled with optimism and inspiration every time I read the periodic reports about Israel's Tech Ecosystem by Startup Nation Central. It is truly exciting. I'm honored and happy to be part of this amazing ecosystem. Here are my key take aways on the first half of 2025 that showed continued growth, in both private funding and M&A: Funding: * In H1 2025, Israel’s private tech sector raised $9.5 billion across 367 rounds based on reported and estimated deals, marking a 58% increase in capital raised, compared to H2 2024. * Early-stage activity gained some momentum in H1 2025, with capital invested in pre-seed and seed rounds rising by 50% compared to H2 2024 (from $406 million to $607 million). * Compared to the previous half (H2’2024), Private funding in the U.S. rose by 23%, while Israel saw a significant 62% jump. * Compared to the first half of 2024, U.S. private funding is up 62%, while Israel’s is up 41%. * In the EU, funding is down by 20% compared to the first half of 2024. In Asia, funding saw a sharp 42% fall, compared to the first half of 2024. M&A * Compared to H1 2024, first-time M&A rose 734%, and 30% excluding the $32B Wiz acquisition by Google. * M&A activity in H1 2025 remained strong, with 60 first-time deals totaling $38.9 billion, making it one of the most active recorded first halves. Even excluding the high-profile Wiz acquisition, which closed in Q1, the remaining 59 deals still totaled $6.9 billion, a clear sign of broad-based strength in Israel’s exit market. * Compared to H2 2024, first-time M&A activity rose 20% in H1 2025 (60 vs. 50 deals), while total deal value fell slightly from $7.2 billion to $6.9 billion (excluding Wiz). https://lnkd.in/dSpFXn5X

Waze Co-Founder Uri Levine Launches $40M Double Down Fund to Back Israeli Growth-Stage Companies Uri Levine is partnering with Pasha Romanovski, to launch Double Down, an opportunity fund dedicated to supporting Israeli growth-stage companies that have already reached tens of millions of dollars in revenue, with some even operating profitably. Unlike traditional VC models, Double Down will not target early-stage startups or take board seats, but will instead focus on fueling existing portfolio companies to scale globally. The fund has already secured around $20 million toward its $40 million target and plans to begin operations in late 2025. Its backers include private investors and family offices in Europe, the United States, and South America. For Levine, Double Down continues his long-standing mission to support entrepreneurs and amplify Israeli innovation on the global stage. https://lnkd.in/d22crhdT #VentureCapital #Investment #GrowthStage #OpportunityFund #PrivateEquity#IsraeliInnovation #StartupNation

The Time to Build is Now: Capital is Aggressively Chasing Quality in Israeli Tech. I've been seeing a significant surge in funding for Israeli startups, often raised in stealth mode. Recently, companies like Tenzai secured a $75M seed round, expanding rapidly beyond their initial plan due to high demand from investors like Greylock Partners, Battery Ventures, and Lux Capital. Other major rounds include Majestic Labs ai, Wonderful, and Sweet Security as well as companies in stealth that raised tens of millions, like Shai Morag's new startup. Funding is flowing to experienced Israeli teams with a clear vision. This conviction is driven by top-tier US VCs (including Bessemer Venture Partners, Lightspeed, Accel and Sequoia Capital) who are accelerating their investment pace in the region. We at Remagine Ventures are excited by this concentration of talent and market validation. We are actively looking to back the next wave of ambitious Israeli founders building significant companies in stealth mode at the very beginning of their journey. If you are currently building, we would love to connect. The message to founders is clear: If you are building groundbreaking technology, the capital is here for you!

VC Wizards

Why we built VC Wizards For most LPs, the challenge isn’t access to Israeli VC, it’s understanding the differences between managers. From the outside, many funds look similar: comparable fund sizes, overlapping sectors, familiar narratives. In practice, the differences are meaningful and often decisive for outcomes. VC Wizards was built to focus on those differences; how managers actually invest, where they enter, how they build ownership, how they manage risk, and how results are created over time. This page will share observations, frameworks, and analysis designed to help LPs assess Israeli VC more clearly and reduce selection risk. This is the starting point.

What if one of the biggest #Industry4_0 challenges is still hiding in plain sight? Yesterday I attended the “Funding for Industry 4.0 Startups” event by S. Horowitz & IATI - Israel Advanced Technology Industries Association. It was great meeting founders, investors and industry leaders shaping the future of industrial innovation. While many discussions focused on AI, robotics and automation, one major industrial challenge remains largely unchanged: #Cleaning. Factories still lose huge amounts of time, water, chemicals and efficiency to traditional processes. At Kiinns we are building a #new_category: replacing cleaning with #robotics and #smart_materials. We believe cleaning should be reimagined. What industrial challenge do you think is still overdue for disruption? Share your thoughts in the comments.
