Hanaco Venture Capital

The firm's offices in San Francisco and Israel are not outposts—each functions as a primary sourcing and operating node. The Tel Aviv presence captures technical talent and early-stage startups rooted in Israeli R&D, while the San Francisco office manages US go-to-market execution, later-stage syndication, and relationships with North American LPs and co-investors.

Hanaco operates across multiple stages, from seed and early-stage through growth and pre-IPO rounds. This multi-stage approach allows the firm to support companies from initial product development through scaling and eventual exit, and to reinvest in top-performing portfolio names across successive fund vintages.

The founding team, including Lior Prosor and Pasha Romanovski, built and exited technology companies before launching the firm. This operating background shapes how Hanaco evaluates founding teams, product strategy, and scaling challenges, distinguishing the firm from peers whose partners have spent their entire careers in finance.

Hanaco typically leads or co-leads funding rounds across its targeted stages. The firm's willingness to serve as a lead investor reflects the conviction its team builds through direct operational diligence and its ability to support portfolio companies on both sides of the Atlantic.

The firm focuses on Israeli-founded technology companies scaling into US markets, leveraging its San Francisco base for commercial expansion and its Israel office for technical and early-stage sourcing. This cross-border lens is central to its investment strategy rather than a secondary capability.
