“Belief in people who want to change the world is in our DNA, and as serial entrepreneurs we know the importance of taking first steps with founders who change the world. With companies like monday.com, Riskified, Breezometer, Classiq and others we are proud and lucky to invest starting pre- Incorporation, to provide initial capital and support, and then track early investments in multiple rounds as companies grow, adds Avi Eyal, founder and partner at Entrée Capital.
“Entrée’s global footprint in the companies we have invested in, such as Cazoo, Glovo, Gusto, Coupang, Stripe and more, is a key advantage we provide to Israeli startups,” says Ran Ahituv, a partner at Entrée Capital. “We have extensive global contacts and a unique perspective, allowing us to look from the outside in. We are proud to be one of the only Israeli funds investing in both the Israeli and global markets.”
