Our Origin Story

Erez Capital is an early-stage venture capital fund making strategic investments in the application of AI technology across three growth sectors: medtech, proptech and fintech.

Our Method

We innovate the venture capital model by fostering accelerated exits through a unified organizational structure that integrates expertise, operations, and investment. This model is gaining traction within the venture capital community.

Why?

Venture capital traditionally lacks direct expert involvement, unlike private wealth advisors who rely on models, analysts, and ratings agencies. We believe integrating expert knowledge is crucial for making informed investment decisions.

Shared Values

In both Israel and India, teamwork remains at the core of startup culture and the top of most innovative companies. In both cultures, you find a premium on deliberation, expert consultation, global thinking. Relationship building is the most important shared characteristic and that permeates throughout our fund and guides our selection of venture partners, limited partners and corporate partners. My Partner (Managing Partner) Arpit Garg practiced these values in the dynamic world of investment banking and has a strategic vision that will serve critical to the growth and expansion of Erez Capital.

Lived Experience

During my tenure with the Israeli foreign ministry, I collaborated with venture capital firms to scout and develop companies, some of which progressed from initial stages to IPOs. Our fund seeks to replicate this success within a cohesive organizational model, aiming for rapid and profitable exits.

Building the Model During a Global Crisis

Amidst COVID-19, I established an effective model involving officials from various sectors and diplomats. Despite challenges, including frequent updates from competitors and government interventions, our due diligence identified a viable vaccine developer. We successfully negotiated and secured significant vaccine allocations early in the pandemic, demonstrating the effectiveness of our team and model.

Our Implementation Strategy

We streamline decision-making by forming subcommittees of experts, operators, and investors who meet bi-monthly to review top-rated applications. This rigorous selection process ensures that only the most promising companies proceed.

Risk Mitigation until the End

Our finance committee meticulously evaluates each company's financial health, devises M&A strategies, and creates scenarios to accelerate profitability, embodying our philosophy of "smart capital."

What is Next?

We apply rigorous critical thinking to our capital procurement strategies, ensuring efficient budget allocation and resource management to swiftly capitalize on emerging opportunities.

Why More Venture Partners?

Quality, not quantity, defines our approach to partnership. We seek individuals who enhance our evaluative processes and institutional knowledge, making our platform robust and dynamic.

Why Invest with Erez Capital?

Unlike traditional investment methods that merely aim to outperform basic benchmarks like the S&P 500, our strategy integrates substantial expert involvement, offering a more informed and potentially rewarding investment avenue. While we may not align with every investment thesis, we believe our approach is both logical and strategically sound.
