Investment thesis
Sarona Ventures backs exceptional founding teams with strong execution who are shaping the future of business, focusing on enterprise software, AI, and transformative technologies that help companies operate efficiently, cut costs, and grow revenue. The firm targets pre-seed to Series B companies and works closely with them to build lasting impact. Having spun out of the Bouaziz Single Family Office, Sarona invests alongside the family's early-stage deal flow and combines family office vehicles with direct investments. As entrepreneurs themselves, the partners invest their own capital alongside that of their LPs, sharing in the risk and commitment to each company's success.
