Mediterranean Towers Ventures

Omer Brakin serves as Managing Director of Mediterranean Towers Ventures and VP Business Development of the listed parent company. He originates and oversees evaluations, drawing on a background in structured finance, law, and real estate innovation. The firm’s website describes him as having led hundreds of venture deal assessments.

It is the dedicated venture capital arm of Mediterranean Towers (TLV: MDTR), a publicly traded developer and operator of retirement-living communities in Israel. The parent company provides the venture unit with direct access to older adults through its operating communities, creating a built-in testing and distribution channel for portfolio startups.

The firm focuses on pre-seed and seed-stage AgeTech startups. It writes early checks and combines capital with operational mentorship, leveraging the parent company’s residential infrastructure to help founders validate products with real end users quickly.

Its investable universe is concentrated on AgeTech, spanning solutions for loneliness, medical-outcome improvement, independence, and well-being for older adults. Portfolio companies indicate sub-sectors that include digital health therapeutics, accessible travel technology, and AI-driven food science for aging populations.

The firm states it provides founders access to its network of partners, VCs, and industry leaders in the aging space to accelerate deployment. While individual participation in specific syndicates is not publicly catalogued, its model positions it as both a direct investor and an ecosystem connector for AgeTech founders.

In addition to traditional venture sourcing, the firm runs an annual startup-of-the-year competition that surfaces Israeli AgeTech companies and generates public, media-covered validation for winners. The parent company’s operating footprint also yields founder referrals from within the Israeli senior-living and health-tech ecosystem.

The firm’s operating model is tied tightly to the listed parent Mediterranean Towers. The parent operates retirement communities, and the venture head Omer Brakin simultaneously serves as VP Business Development for the parent, ensuring strategic alignment. No separate philanthropic or real-asset entity beyond the parent company has been disclosed in conjunction with the venture unit.
