Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Aleph?
Michael Eisenberg and Eden Shochat operate as equal partners, a deliberately flat structure that avoids the single managing partner model common in venture. Both partners approve every investment, which means no deal proceeds without their joint conviction. This governance choice is a core identity marker for the firm.
How does Aleph source proprietary deal flow?
Aleph's Kinnernet conference functions as a curated, off-the-record gathering that draws top Israeli engineers, founders, and global tech executives. This community serves as a proprietary sourcing funnel, with participants often becoming Aleph scouts or portfolio founders. The firm also leverages Eisenberg's long tenure at Benchmark Capital for warm introductions into Silicon Valley networks.
Which sectors does Aleph explicitly avoid?
Aleph does not invest in hardware-intensive deep tech, medical devices, or biotech. The firm's public portfolio and partner statements are concentrated entirely on software companies with enterprise-grade revenue models, specifically in fintech, enterprise SaaS, AI/ML, and cybersecurity.
How does Aleph support portfolio companies beyond capital?
The firm's Kinnernet network provides a direct line to experienced operators and potential customers, particularly in US enterprise markets. Aleph also runs an annual VC summit that connects portfolio CEOs with downstream investors. This community-based model is the primary post-investment support mechanism.
What is Aleph's known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
Aleph regularly co-invests with other venture firms, including on rounds it does not lead. Its partnership with global firms often stems from Eisenberg's Benchmark relationships. The firm does not operate a formal co-investment vehicle for LPs, preferring to concentrate its own fund capital in direct deals.
