97212 Ventures is a venture capital firm that positions itself as a day-one partner for Israeli founders aiming to build global companies, with a particular emphasis on establishing a strong presence in the New York City tech ecosystem. As a VC, they invest primarily in the seed and pre-seed stages of startups, offering amounts between $100,000 and $5,000,000, with a sweet spot of around $1,500,000 per investment. The fund has a keen focus on a range of industries including Business Solutions, Retail and E-Commerce, Sales and Marketing, IoT and Wearables, A.I. and Big Data, as well as Web Security and Privacy. They offer more than just financial support, providing real access to necessary resources at the earliest stages, enabling significant first achievements, and accelerating the time to market for the startups they invest in. They aim to unlock the full potential of Israeli founders by working closely with them to achieve early traction, gain access to smart follow-on capital, and find a shortened path to product-market fit. To supercharge a startup's expansion in the US, 97212 Ventures assists in building and operating a Go-To-Market (GTM) board consisting of senior executives. This board actively collaborates post-investment and supports product development, insight into market trends, and furnishes direct connections to design partners, potential customers, and channel partners, essentially serving as a network-in-a-box for NYC. 97212 Ventures champions the notion of deep partnership, promising strategic US connections, responsiveness, and speed in all dealings with their portfolio companies.
