Decima Ventures is a venture capital firm that operates with a clear focus on technology investments, particularly targeting startups and early-stage companies within the tech sector, including BioTech, HealthTech, Fitness, Medical Devices, and Hospital Services. Headquartered in New York, United States, and with an additional office in Tel Aviv, Israel, they have over 13 years of experience building and growing successful companies. Founded by Rony Zarom, a serial entrepreneur, investor, and philanthropist who established the firm in 2001 after selling his company Exalink for $550 million to Comverse (NASDAQ: CNSI), Decima Ventures has a history of making impactful investments. With initial investment sizes ranging from $50K to $4 million, they often provide the first outside capital for companies, emphasizing the importance of a proven proof of concept or some form of traction before committing their funds. Decima Ventures has a preferred investment focus on areas where they have developed domain expertise, such as cyber-security, social networking, messaging, and video. Additionally, they tend to invest in companies located in regions where they maintain a constant physical presence – the United States and Israel. People and teams are a crucial factor in their investment decisions, as they seek to invest in passionate, committed, and bright teams with relevant experience and a proven track record. Decima Ventures stands out for their more selective and hands-on investment approach, which is in contrast to the 'numbers game' approach of many other investors. By choosing fewer startups, they are committed to ensuring the success of their investments by leveraging their expertise, resources, and networks to benefit their portfolio companies. Current investments of the firm include technology solutions such as Chatway, Newrow, Cybonet, Samba, and Axxana, each delivering innovative services within their respective fields. With a philosophy that emphasizes the importance of supporting people and ideas, Decima Ventures continues to be involved in the technology space, shaping new ventures and the future of the industries they invest in.
