Investment thesis

IL Ventures invests in disruptive Israeli technology companies that help traditional industries advance their digital transformation and ESG strategies. The firm targets solutions across supply chain and smart manufacturing (shifting from 'fast and cheap' to 'local and smart'), agtech addressing labor shortages and resource-efficient farming, and foodtech at the intersection of food and health that improves food security and reduces waste. Leveraging a team of company builders and industry executives with a 25-year track record and deep roots in the Israeli startup ecosystem, the fund aims to source attractive deals early and help portfolio companies rapidly scale and go global.
