Cardumen Capital specializes in Seed, Early Stage, and Pre-seed ventures, reflecting a strategic emphasis on nurturing startups from their inception. Despite its roots in Europe, the firm has a significant influence in Israeli B2B deep tech ecosystems, highlighting sectors like AI, Cybersecurity, and Big Data as central to its investment thesis. They are particularly drawn to opportunities involving Deep Tech, AI, NLP, Computer Vision, Audio related industries, Metaverse, Semiconductors, DEFI, and Tech enablement for crypto. However, they actively avoid industries such as Healthcare and Pharma. The organization takes pride in its hands-on investment approach, emphasizing the value of founders and their teams, and operates with a commitment to transparency, respect, and support for their portfolio companies. Cardumen Capital operates multiple venture funds, including a DeepTech Venture Fund, AgriFoodTech Venture Fund, and Global Fund of Funds, each tailored to harness technological advancements within their respective segments. Their dedication to innovation is paired with an ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) policy to ensure responsible investment practices.
