Description

Nadav Ben-Chanoch serves as a Partner at Pareto Holdings, a prominent Miami-based venture studio and holding company co-founded by Shutterstock's Jon Oringer and Michael Seckler. His role at Pareto follows his experience as a co-founder and CEO of Vyrill, a company that was subsequently acquired by Pareto Holdings itself. This background provides him with a valuable operator's perspective, informing his investment approach and ability to support portfolio companies from the ground up. Ben-Chanoch's expertise spans product development, growth strategies, and entrepreneurship, aligning well with Pareto's hands-on model.

This diversified approach allows them to capitalize on emerging trends and support a wide array of innovative startups.

Under this model, Pareto Holdings has demonstrated significant activity in the venture ecosystem. The firm has notably deployed over $100 million in capital across more than 100 companies since its inception. While specific check sizes can vary based on the nature of their involvement—whether it's a direct investment, an acquisition, or initial capital for a new build—Pareto Holdings typically targets early-stage companies. For direct investments, their initial checks generally fall within the range of $250,000 to $2 million, providing crucial seed or Series A funding to promising ventures. Nadav Ben-Chanoch's contributions help drive this investment thesis, identifying and nurturing companies that can benefit from Pareto's operational expertise and capital.
