They predominantly set their sights on opportunities within Israel and North America and have a robust investment range, often committing a consistent amount of $3,600,000 to each venture. The firm operates an 'Active Capital' approach, intertwining business, technology, and investment expertise with the insights of world-leading security and intelligence professionals to drive notable returns and support portfolio companies along the commercial success journey. They claim a hands-on approach to fostering growth and finding liquidity opportunities. The partnership and advisory board consist of seasoned entrepreneurs with histories of successful exits, investment professionals, and former senior security and intelligence directors. They manage over $500 million across 5 funds and several co-investment vehicles, covering a spectrum of stages from inception to exit. Awz HLS Investment Fund takes pride in having transformative technology companies with limitless potential in their portfolio, incorporating next-generation, AI-powered technologies. As part of their investment model, the Awz X-Seed Hub acts as an early-stage fund, deploying more capital than an accelerator and offering more support than usually available at the seed stage. Since its inception in 2016, AWZ HLS Investment Fund, established by Yaron Ashkenazi, aims to harness the expertise of their team to meet the global demand for cutting-edge security and intelligence technologies, thereby contributing to creating a safer world.
