StageOne Ventures has raised a new $165 million venture capital fund to invest in early-stage enterprise technology startups in Israel. The new fund marks another milestone for the firm after 25 years of investing in Israel’s tech sector.
With the launch of its fifth fund, StageOne Ventures now manages more than $650 million in total assets.
The new fund will focus on startups developing technologies such as AI infrastructure, cybersecurity, physical AI, agentic orchestration, and vertical AI.
The fund comes at a time when artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the global technology industry. It also reflects growing investor interest in finding the next generation of infrastructure companies that will support AI-powered systems.
“AI is not just a vertical for us; it is the new architecture of enterprise software,” said Yuval Cohen, founder and managing partner of StageOne Ventures. “Despite global and local uncertainties, Israel continues to produce world-class engineering talent.”
“Our model is built on deep conviction and involvement from day one,” said Tal Slobodkin, managing partner at the firm. “In a world of automated investing, we provide the opposite: a high-touch partnership.”
StageOne Ventures is led by Uri Cohen, Doron Slobodkin, and partner Netanel Meir.
Since 2001, the firm has invested in 69 companies and currently supports a portfolio of 29 active startups.
