Focus statement

SOMV is a seed-stage venture capital fund focused on the people (founders) driving innovation, investing early in daring, hungry teams across sectors including AI, data infrastructure, SaaS, enterprise applications, cybersecurity, consumer and D2C, spanning deep tech to applied AI.

Value Add

  • Founder- and people-centric: explicitly focuses on “the people that drive our world forward” and seeks founders who are “daring, hungry and have big ambitions.”
  • Early, hands-on partnership: “We look to partner early with innovative teams of over-achievers, and be there with them” — committed to in-person, practical support.
  • True ownership model: “We believe in true ownership, and that is why every leader on the SOMV team manages a portfolio with deep precision and focus.”
  • Experienced, operator-led team: partners include former operators and corporate/VC leaders (ex-Sequoia partner, Verizon Ventures MD, senior MoD finance/staff, ex-8200 leadership), bringing domain, M&A and scaling experience.
  • Track record of exits and sector breadth: portfolio and exits cited (e.g., Rivery acquired by Boomi; Rezonate acquired by Silverfort; Indeni acquired by BlueCat) across deep tech, applied AI and cybersecurity.
  • Cultural identity: positions itself around a distinct “State Of Mind” ethos that frames risk-taking, persistence and relentless curiosity as a selection and support criterion.
