Peregrine Ventures

Peregrine was founded to invest in life science companies globally, with roots in Israel's medical innovation ecosystem. Eyal Lifschitz and Boaz Lifschitz co-founded the firm after launching and managing five startups of their own, an operational background that shapes Peregrine's emphasis on active portfolio support in business strategy, regulatory navigation, and team recruitment. The firm's strategy spans the entire corporate lifecycle. Its dedicated vehicles cover pre-seed incubation through the Incentive Incubator, early- and mid-stage venture funds, and Peregrine Growth, which targets mature companies in their final financing rounds before M&A or IPO. The portfolio concentrates on medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotech, and digital health, with confirmed positions in over 70 companies including Aleph Farms, CartiHeal, Insightec, and Variantyx. Peregrine invests from Israel into North America and the broader Middle East and Central Asia region, sourcing across both early-stage startups and pre-IPO rounds. Peregrine lists Eyal Lifschitz and Boaz Lifschitz as co-founders and managing general partners, with Lior Shahory serving as general partner. Elazer Edelman chairs the medical advisory board. The firm is headquartered in Or Yehuda, Israel. In recent periods, Peregrine has continued investing out of its existing fund structures across devices, pharma, and digital health, though no specific fund close or team expansion event from the last 24 months is publicly documented. The firm's structural differentiator is its integrated continuum of investment vehicles under one roof — covering incubation, venture, and growth capital — which is uncommon among Israeli healthcare investors. This architecture lets Peregrine support a company from formation through exit without requiring entrepreneurs to re-educate new investors at each stage.

Frequently asked questions

Who makes investment decisions at Peregrine?

Cofounders Eyal Lifschitz and Boaz Lifschitz serve as managing general partners and run the firm alongside General Partner Lior Shahory. The team draws on decades of venture capital and operational life science experience, including five startups founded by the Lifschitz brothers before they launched Peregrine.

How does Peregrine source its deals?

Peregrine sources globally through its network in Israel, North America, and the Middle East and Central Asia region. The firm describes a synergetic strategy that combines deep industry knowledge with embedded relationships to identify life science companies at every stage, from pre-seed to pre-IPO.

Does Peregrine operate only as a venture firm, or does it also invest in growth-stage companies?

Peregrine runs three distinct vehicles: early- and mid-stage venture funds, a pre-seed ‘Incentive’ Incubator, and Peregrine Growth, which is dedicated to mature companies in their final financing rounds before M&A or IPO. This gives the firm coverage across a company's entire lifecycle.

What sectors does Peregrine explicitly avoid?

Peregrine concentrates on medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotech, and digital health. It also holds confirmed positions in agri-foodtech and watertech companies such as Aleph Farms and Wanda Fish, but there is no indication that the firm invests outside life sciences or adjacent deep-tech applied to biological systems.

Does Peregrine participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?

Peregrine's disclosed model focuses on direct investments into private life science companies through its own dedicated vehicles. The firm does not publicly market a fund-of-funds strategy or advertise participation in third-party funds, but its stage-specific vehicles allow it to back companies directly from incubation through growth.
