Sunvest Capital Partners
Sunvest Capital Partners was launched in 2023 by longtime Israeli venture investors Fiona Darmon and Merav Weinryb, who together bring over 35 years of combined experience across VC funds, corporate venture arms, and family offices. The firm emerged from their observation that the Israeli tech ecosystem — home to roughly 8,000 active technology companies and more than 1,000 venture and corporate VC funds — lacked a dedicated secondary-market intermediary capable of structuring transactions with an insider's understanding of GP and LP dynamics. The firm functions as a secondary fund of funds dedicated to the Israeli growth-tech ecosystem, acquiring LP interests in venture funds, buying direct stakes in late-stage technology companies, and participating in GP-led secondary vehicles. Its strategy blends top-down access through relationships with GPs, LPs, and fund platforms with bottom-up discovery rooted in the founders' network of entrepreneurs, corporates, and co-investors. Sector exposure stretches across enterprise software, cybersecurity, fintech, AI, and digital health. Portfolio specifics remain private beyond what is disclosed directly to prospective investors. Sunvest operates from the Haggag Towers on Haarbaa Street in Tel Aviv, with no additional offices disclosed. The firm positions itself as an active partner to fund managers and portfolio companies, contributing growth-acceleration support — market access, talent connections, business development — alongside its capital. Team size and aggregate deployment figures are not publicly reported. Israeli startups raised $15.6 billion in 2025, and the secondary opportunity Sunvest targets is estimated by the firm to exceed $10 billion. Sunvest's architecture as a dedicated secondary fund of funds run by former VCs gives it a structural posture distinct from the generalist secondaries desks or global allocators that dominate the asset class. The firm combines an insider's ability to diligence venture portfolios with a mandate to provide tailored liquidity solutions — a model that, for Israeli tech, still lacks a crowd of direct competitors.

Frequently asked questions
How does Sunvest Capital Partners source its secondary deal flow?
Sunvest is built on a dual sourcing model. Top-down access comes from decades of relationships with Israeli GPs, LPs, and fund platforms, while bottom-up discovery relies on the founders’ on-the-ground network of entrepreneurs, corporate executives, and co-investors. This combination lets the firm identify insider-led secondary transactions that might not reach broader auction processes.
Is Sunvest a single family office or a traditional fund manager?
Sunvest Capital Partners is structured as a secondary fund of funds manager, not a single or multi-family office. The firm raises external capital and deploys it across LP stakes, direct secondaries, and GP-led vehicles in the Israeli venture market. Its limited partners are not disclosed.
What investment stages does Sunvest target?
The firm concentrates on growth-stage technology companies and venture funds that hold late-stage positions. It also executes direct secondary transactions and participates in GP-led vehicles, giving it flexibility across stages as long as the underlying assets are in the Israeli or Israel-related tech ecosystem.
Does Sunvest participate in fund commitments or only direct deals?
Sunvest’s mandate spans three categories: acquiring limited partner interests in existing venture funds, purchasing direct stakes in late-stage technology companies, and structuring or joining GP-led secondary vehicles. Traditional primary fund commitments are not part of the stated strategy.
What is Sunvest’s known posture on co-investments alongside external GPs?
The firm’s public materials do not detail a dedicated co-investment program for outside managers. Its deal activity emphasizes secondary transactions — acquiring existing positions from LPs or GPs — rather than making fresh primary commitments alongside other funds.
