Frequently asked questions
Who runs investment decisions at Proxima?
Chaim Venezia is listed as responsible for investment management, and Uri Ra’anan runs trading. The firm’s website presents both as the key decision-makers, with no additional investment committee disclosed.
Does Proxima operate as a pure venture firm?
No. Proxima manages a hybrid multi-strategy platform that includes Proxima Ventures (venture capital from seed to late stage), Proxima Dynamics (hedge funds), and a regulated digital-asset trading desk. This structure makes it a diversified Israeli investment house rather than a dedicated VC.
What investment stages does Proxima Ventures target?
The venture arm invests across early-stage (seed, start-up) and expansion/late-stage rounds. There is no published fund-size figure or deal-by-deal breakdown, so check size remains unverified.
Is Proxima active in cryptocurrency investing?
Yes. Proxima’s digital-asset desk trades crypto directly and manages cryptocurrency portfolios. It holds one of Israel’s first regulatory licenses for digital-asset portfolio management, issued by the Capital Market Authority after an eight-year approval process.
Where is Proxima’s capital deployed geographically?
The firm focuses on Israel-originated venture opportunities and serves wealthy Israeli private and business clients, though its website notes international activity. Specific country allocations beyond Israel are not published.
Does Proxima disclose assets under management?
No AUM or deployment figure is publicly disclosed. In the absence of an external or firm-reported number, no estimate is available.
How is Proxima’s digital-asset business regulated?
In 2024, after an eight-year process, Israel’s Capital Market Authority granted Proxima a portfolio-management license covering digital assets. This allows the firm to hold and manage crypto portfolios under Israeli regulatory oversight — a distinction few local managers carry.
