Value Add

Operator-led team with extensive operating and board experience (site: "We’re operators who are determined to use our successes and lessons learned to provide significant value").
Explicit requirement that the firm can add value and influence growth: "We only invest if we believe we can impact the trajectory of the company through our experiences and networks."
Active investor profile: take Board seats on most investments and play an active role ("We play an active role in all of our investments and have Board seats on most of them").
Clear traction and check-size thresholds: looks for companies with initial traction (typically >$300K ARR) and writes initial checks of $500K–$2M.
Geographic specialization in North America and Israel with support for companies that consider the US a main target market ("We fund companies that consider the US to be one of their main target markets... We mostly focus on North America and Israel").

Selective sector fit—focus on B2B software and deep tech and explicit exclusions (e.g., CPG, inventory, FDA-heavy medical devices) to ensure they can add value: "Certain attributes aren’t quite a fit for us... If we can’t add value to the company, we don’t invest."
