Meron Capital
Description
Meron Capital is an early-stage venture capital fund based in Tel Aviv, Israel, established in 2016. The firm primarily focuses on investing in exceptional founders developing core software technologies, with a particular emphasis on B2B SaaS, deep tech, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, developer tools, data & analytics, DevOps, and cloud infrastructure. Meron Capital strategically targets Seed and Series A rounds, supporting companies across Israel, Europe, and the United States. Their investment philosophy centers on identifying strong technical teams and providing hands-on support to help them scale.
The firm has demonstrated consistent growth in its capital base, successfully raising two funds to date. Meron Capital I, launched in 2016, closed at $30 million, providing the initial capital for their early investments. Building on this success, Meron Capital II, which closed in 2022, significantly expanded their capacity with an $80 million fund. This increased capital allows them to continue backing promising startups and potentially participate in follow-on rounds.
Meron Capital's typical initial check size ranges from $1 million to $3 million, reflecting their commitment to early-stage funding that can significantly impact a startup's initial growth and product development. The fund prides itself on a founder-friendly approach, leveraging the operational experience of its team to provide strategic guidance beyond just capital. Their portfolio includes over 30 companies, showcasing a diverse range of innovative software solutions that address critical business needs across various industries.
