Israel Growth Partners

Investment decisions are led by Co-Founders and General Partners Haim Shani and Moshe Mor. Shani previously served as Director General of Israel's Ministry of Finance and CEO of NICE Systems, while Mor brings extensive operational and investment experience in the Israeli technology sector. The compact partnership structure means investment committee decisions are made by this core team, often with direct board-level engagement post-close.

IGP targets expansion and late-stage growth rounds, typically entering after a company has achieved initial product-market fit and is generating meaningful revenue. The firm writes checks between $10 million and $20 million, positioning itself between early-stage venture capital and large private equity buyouts. The focus is on scaling the commercial organization, not funding product development.

The firm embeds operating partners and draws on the General Partners' own executive experience to professionalize go-to-market functions, particularly sales and marketing leadership. For many Israeli founders, the challenge is not engineering but building international sales teams across the US and Europe—IGP's operating model directly addresses this gap. Board seats are typically part of the investment structure.

The firm concentrates on Enterprise Software, Cybersecurity, and FinTech, with selective exposure to Digital Health and AI/ML companies. This sector focus reflects the dominant strengths of the Israeli tech ecosystem, particularly in B2B software and security infrastructure. IGP typically avoids hardware, life sciences, and consumer-facing startups.

IGP invests primarily in Israeli-headquartered companies, though portfolio firms are expected to build substantial commercial operations in the US and European markets. The firm does not typically make direct investments in foreign-domiciled companies, maintaining a tight domestic origination focus while supporting international scaling post-investment.

IGP formalizes the operating-partner model for a stage of the market where many Israeli funds deploy capital but few embed operators. The firm's thesis is that the Series B-to-D scaling gap—particularly building global sales organizations—is the binding constraint for high-potential Israeli companies, and it structures its partnership around that specific operational intervention rather than generalist venture investing.

IGP raised its debut fund in the mid-2010s and operates with a compact partnership from a single office in Herzliya. While specific fund sizes have not been publicly disclosed, Altss estimates the firm's total assets under management in the $250 million to $500 million range across vehicles. The firm runs a lean structure without adjacent venture arms or publicly disclosed philanthropic vehicles.
