F2 Venture Capital

F2 Venture Capital

F2 Venture Capital was formed in 2011 by partners from Genesis Partners, the Israeli venture firm that had been a mainstay of the country's startup ecosystem. The firm operates a dual engine: a traditional venture fund making seed and early-stage investments in Israeli technology companies, and The Junction, an accelerator program founded at Genesis and now run in partnership with global corporations. Corporate partners including SAP, HP, and Munich Re provide The Junction with deal flow, technical validation, and potential commercial pathways. The firm invests primarily in enterprise software, fintech, cybersecurity, and applied AI, with a portfolio that includes companies like Dream Security, co-founded by former Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. F2 Capital targets Israeli startups from pre-seed through growth rounds, deploying capital across direct equity rounds and follow-on investments. The firm maintains a Digital Asset and DeFi Strategy, signaling allocation to blockchain infrastructure and decentralized finance protocols alongside its core enterprise tech focus. Confirmed portfolio activity includes investments in cybersecurity and fintech infrastructure companies serving global financial institutions. The Junction accelerator provides a structured pipeline, bringing roughly a dozen early-stage companies through each cohort with direct corporate engagement from partners like Munich Re, which evaluates insurtech opportunities, and SAP, which scouts enterprise integration plays. The firm operates from the 25th floor of the Hagag North Tower in Tel Aviv, with its team led by Managing Partner Jonathan Saacks and Partner Issac Applbaum. Total assets under management are not publicly disclosed. F2 partners with the Youngstown Business Incubator in Ohio to help Israeli portfolio companies establish US market entry points. The firm sponsors a donor-advised fund called Keshet, indicating some philanthropic activity without revealing scale. In recent years, F2 has deepened its focus on AI-native security startups, a theme that runs through both its fund investments and The Junction's corporate-backed acceleration cycles. F2's structural differentiator sits in its accelerator-as-sourcing-funnel model. Unlike most venture firms that build corporate relationships ad hoc, F2 hardwires SAP, HP, and Munich Re into the top of its deal funnel through The Junction. This gives portfolio companies a fast track to enterprise proof-of-concept deployments and potential commercial contracts before a Series A closes — a different risk profile from the typical Israeli seed fund that relies on founder networks and alumni referrals alone.
