Progress Report: Israel Resilience Fund
Speakers:
Ron Fisher, Senior Advisor, SoftBank
Noam Kaiser, Venture Partner, Israel Resilience Fund
Jon Medved, Founder and CEO, OurCrowd
Eran Heffetz, CEO, Bites (Israel Resilience Fund portfolio company)
Host: Jeff Kupietzky, Operating Partner, Israel Resilience Fund
This online event will give investors the opportunity to ask questions of the Advisory Board and fund managers and hear from co-investors. The event will also feature CEOs of recipient startups describing what it’s like to run a tech company in Israel in the current environment.
The Israel Resilience Fund is a pioneering investment initiative that seeks to generate positive impact for Israeli startups impacted by the war with Hamas and Hezbollah while delivering robust financial returns. OurCrowd is waiving all management fees and carried interest.
In December, the fund announced it had raised $13 million in commitments toward its $50 million target within just a few weeks, and made the first 8 investments. More announcements are imminent. The fund has an Advisory Board of prominent global venture investors.
The fund seeks to satisfy a growing demand for vehicles to support Israel’s economy and startup ecosystem during this crisis, beyond purely charitable contributions, and adopts a dual-pronged, social impact approach by which investors can both do good, and do well.
