Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at lool ventures?
General Partners Avichay Nissenbaum and Yaniv Golan lead investment decisions. Both are co-founders of the firm and brought prior operational experience as startup founders themselves. The partnership has historically been small, keeping decisions concentrated among active operating partners rather than a broad investment committee.
What investment stages does lool ventures target?
lool targets seed and early-stage rounds, with occasional follow-on investments into later-stage rounds for existing portfolio companies. The firm writes first checks into pre-traction and early-traction startups, primarily in the Israeli market.
Which sectors does lool ventures focus on?
The firm's core sectors include enterprise software, artificial intelligence and machine learning, fintech, digital health, and cybersecurity. These align with Israel's broader strengths in deep-technology and B2B software, where lool's operator-investor model has the most direct applicability to portfolio support.
Is lool ventures a family office or a traditional venture firm?
lool ventures operates as a traditional venture capital firm, not a single-family or multi-family office. It raises capital from limited partners to invest through a classic fund structure, with no wealth-origin link to a specific family enterprise.
What is lool ventures' most notable portfolio company?
WalkMe is lool's most prominent investment. The digital adoption platform went public on Nasdaq and was later acquired by SAP in 2024. The firm was an early backer of WalkMe, which became one of Israel's most visible enterprise software exits.
