Maniv Investments

About The Fund

Maniv Investments, with entities Maniv Bioventures and Maniv Energy Capital, has been a presence in the investment landscape since 1997. Initially, Maniv Bioventures was engaged in life sciences, investing nearly $20 million from 1997 to 2004 across a diverse portfolio of companies in this sector. However, the company has shifted focus with the establishment of Maniv Energy Capital in 2005, targeting opportunities in clean technology and alternative energy—a reflection of the rapid growth within these sectors. Though it started with life sciences, Maniv is currently known for its Maniv Mobility fund, positioning itself as a venture capital fund grounded in global market principles with a focus on Israel and New York. They capitalize on a generational transformation reshaping the economy of movement; this involves a market-driven transition away from fossil fuel propulsion to the decarbonization of transportation. This shift is bolstered by regulatory developments that amplify innovation in new vehicle platforms and also in the materials, silicon, and software necessary to enable and market these advancements. Additionally, Maniv invests in the digitization of transportation which promotes efficiency and scalability in traditionally analog sectors such as automotive, logistics, and others plagued by information asymmetries. With a specialty in early-stage venture investment, they concentrate on the future of mobility, envisioning a world that is cleaner, safer, and more efficient. Maniv leverages their deep understanding and network in mobility to uncover value for their partners and are perceived as key players by their beneficiaries in the industry. Maniv Mobility indicates that they are not current tourists to mobility challenges, having engaged proactively to support their investees' aspirations. Their investment thesis is thus centered around supporting transformative companies at the early stage that will pilot the future of how people and goods move in an increasingly connected and environmentally-conscious world.
