Founded in 2008 with its base in Jerusalem, Israel, the firm brings over $400 million under management across five distinct private equity funds, most recently raising their fifth fund in 2019.

They seek out Israeli companies with proven technologies, products, and markets to place their funds. The specialized investment strategies also encompass Private Investment in Public Equities (PIPEs), especially targeting Israeli publicly traded companies.

With a portfolio spanning varied industries including BioTech, Hardware and Manufacturing, Medical Devices, and Hospital Services, among others, Shavit Capital leverages their financial prowess and market insight to drive value and promote growth for their investment companies.
