Investment thesis
97212 Ventures invests at the earliest stages in Israeli-founded startups seeking to enter the U.S. market via New York City. The firm partners closely with founders from zero to one, helping them reach early traction, access smart follow-on capital, and shorten the path to product-market fit. It offers deep access to the NYC tech scene through senior advisors, design partners, potential customers, and channel partners. A signature offering is building and operating a GTM board of senior executives to accelerate U.S. expansion, giving portfolio companies an 'NYC network in a box' to cut time to market and secure meaningful early wins.
