What is Sarona Ventures?

Sarona Ventures is a global venture capital firm with an investment focus that spans multiple industries and technologies.

Established in 2019 and headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, the firm has additional offices in Paris, New York, San Francisco, Miami, UAE, and Singapore. They are passionate about backing exceptional founding teams with strong execution capabilities who are driving business transformation across sectors such as software, AI, blockchain, fintech, proptech, and other transformative technologies.

Sarona Ventures aims to help companies operate efficiently, save money, and drive revenue. Originating from the tech investment arm of the Bouaziz Single Family Office, Sarona Ventures has a significant track record, with a portfolio that includes seven billion-dollar unicorns. The firm specializes in early-stage investments, covering a range from pre-seed to Series B stages, with a fund capable of investing between $100,000 to $5,000,000, having a sweet spot of around $1,500,000 per investment.

With $20,000,000 assets under management, they have built a broad portfolio across various geographies, including Israel, the US, Europe, and Latin America, investing in software-centric verticals such as SaaS, InsureTech, RetailTech, and SMBtech. Sarona Ventures operates with the ethos of investing its own capital alongside that of its limited partners (LPs), ensuring a greater alignment of interests.

This approach is a continuation of its Family Fund roots, contributing to every investment decision and the development of a strong, accountable ecosystem involving entrepreneurs, talent, investors, and multinational corporations. They also maintain a focus on early-stage ventures with potential, leveraging their network for deal flow from co-investors, LPs, portfolio companies, and founders' communities.

In their global ecosystem, Sarona Ventures has built an active community of 450 founders, industry experts, and investors, which adds value in various aspects such as talent acquisition, fundraising, and mentorship. Through their innovation centers in Israel and connections in top US tech ecosystems, Sarona Ventures ensures that their founders have access to a powerful network that can help them to leverage market-leading opportunities.
