Makor Ventures

In which sectors do you invest?

Makor Ventures invests in innovative companies at the seed stage. We mainly consider projects in the internet industry at large, as well as mobile, video games, software and telecom applications. We seek to invest in capital-efficient companies that can achieve profitability without needing to raise a lot of money initially.

 

Why raise money from Makor Ventures?

Makor Ventures is not just a venture fund. Makor Ventures is first and foremost a network of innovative companies around the world. Being part of our network will open the doors of international business and give you better visibility in the marketplace. You can also share the experience of our founders, who are all entrepreneurs, and who will do anything to help you maximize your business. Makor Ventures is designed to assist you in all your strategic decisions.

 

How much do you invest?

 

We lead deals ranging from $100,000–$1.0 million. We also have a vast network of angel group, venture capital firms, and hedge funds that we syndicate with to do deals up to $2 million.

 

At what stage do you invest?

 

We invest in the first round, at the seed stage. Makor Ventures is a group of business angels, not bankers. We invest in companies that do not yet have a high pre-money valuation.

 

How long before I get an answer/investment?

 

Our decision process is extremely fast. We can give a positive response in less than 2 weeks. 

 

What if I need a lot of money to develop my business?

 

As we have stated, we invest rapidly (2 to 4 weeks), unlike conventional venture funds (3 to 6 months). So you can raise initial financing from our fund and then raise more money later through traditional venture capital firms. Since we are very close to top tier global investors, obviously we can guide you through this process. However, we invest primarily in companies that do not require much capital before reaching profitability.

What % do you take when you invest in a company?

Everything depends on how far along the company is. We hope to be a significant minority shareholder of the financed company.

In which countries do you invest?

Makor Ventures aims to invest in any country in the world. We have offices in Tel Aviv, London, Switzerland, France and soon New York City will be added to the list.
