The Outlier's Fund
At 91 Ventures, we are passionate about investing in outlier teams and technologies at the pre-seed and seed stages.
We invest before a trend becomes cool, before an entrepreneur is crowned a "genius", and before the market growth. Our focus is on identifying and supporting the next generation of market-leading startups. We enjoy getting our hands dirty and help building companies with strong financial and business fundamentals.
Our fund is led by experienced investors with a proven track record of success in the early stages of startup growth. We have a deep understanding of the Israeli tech ecosystem and a network of connections that allows us to identify the most promising opportunities.
We are honored to be backed by some of Israel's tech leadership, serial entrepreneurs, and innovation leaders from big corporations. This provides our portfolio companies with access to valuable resources and expertise that can help them identify and overcome, challenges, and be better positioned for success.
If you are an exceptional team with a cutting-edge technology, looking for a bold lead investor, we would love to hear from you. Reach out to learn more about how we can support your growth and success.
Our Investment Criteria
We believe that in order to be great early-stage investors, we need to be flexible and agnostic on the specific tech verticals we invest in. As technology is ever-changing, we need to be adaptable and open-minded in order to stay ahead of the curve and find the most promising opportunities. The "right" startups for us will be:
Israeli or Israeli-led startups
Israel is the land of Milk, Honey, and Unicorns for a reason. The ecosystem's pool of talent and ingenuity inspires us, but it is always a challenge to conquer the global stage from here. Our vast experience enables us to support you and put you on the right path for success.
Pre-seed/Seed stages
We thrive in the early-stage. As a founding partner to our portfolio companies, we see ourselves as more than just investors - we're partners in their journey. We enjoy leading rounds and getting our hands dirty by jumping in to help solve problems, identify challenges, and constructing companies with strong financial and business fundamentals. We want to work with you to make your vision a reality.
Advanced technological software solutions/products
Our focus is on supporting startups developing innovative and cutting-edge software technologies. We believe that these types of solutions have the potential to drive significant growth and disruption in a variety of industries (e.g. FinTech, InsurTech, PropTech, GameTech, AI/ML infrastructure, SaaS, Big Data, etc.).
Why "91 Ventures"?
The name 91 Ventures is inspired by Dennis Rodman, a true outlier who made it big on and off the court. Just like Rodman, we believe that our entrepreneurs should be fearless and unafraid to challenge the status quo. We are looking for individuals who are willing to take risks, push boundaries, and think outside the box.
Our goal is to support these outliers and help them achieve greatness, just like Rodman did. That's why we chose the name 91 Ventures - to honor the spirit of innovation and disruption that Rodman embodies. Whether you're a budding entrepreneur or an established business leader, we want to help you make your mark on the world. Let's do it together.
