Liberman Family Office

Barak Liberman, son of Mercury Interactive co-founder Aryeh Liberman, serves as CEO and leads investment decisions. He has built the office’s strategy around direct technology investments, with a focus on Israeli and US-based enterprise software and cybersecurity companies. The office does not publicly list additional investment committee members.

The office leverages its operator heritage from the Mercury Interactive days and Barak Liberman’s network within Israel’s technology ecosystem. Its sourcing model relies heavily on founder referrals, repeat entrepreneurs from exited portfolio companies, and relationships with co-investors who value its permanent-capital structure.

The family’s wealth derives primarily from the 2006 sale of Mercury Interactive to Hewlett-Packard for $4.5 billion. Aryeh Liberman co-founded Mercury in 1989; the company became a dominant player in application management and IT governance software before the acquisition.

The office invests from early venture to growth equity, with a pattern of participating in Series A through late-stage rounds. Its most prominent known positions, including Wiz and Melio, were backed through multiple rounds. The office has capacity to lead rounds and provide follow-on capital without needing external limited-partner consensus.

Legally a single family office managing the Liberman family’s proprietary capital, it operates with the cadence and rigor of a venture firm — leading rounds, taking board seats, and reserving capital for follow-on investments. Unlike a venture firm, it does not raise funds, charge management fees, or report to external limited partners, which allows for longer holding periods.
