Target Global Selected Opportunities LP
Target Global Selected Opportunities LP is a fund entity within Target Global, a venture capital firm founded in 2012 by Yaron Valler, Alexander Frolov, and Mikhail Lobanov. The firm's initial capital originated from technology entrepreneurs and family offices in Russia and Israel, though it now operates with a pan-European investment mandate and an independent governance structure. Target Global's investment strategy spans early-stage (Seed to Series A) via Target Global Ventures, and growth-stage (Series B and later) via the Selected Opportunities fund. Sector focuses include enterprise software, fintech, digital health, and climate technology. Confirmed portfolio companies include ridesharing platform Gett (per the firm, 2014) and unconference organizer Sifted (per Sifted.eu, 2019). The fund typically writes $5M–$20M checks for growth rounds, often leading or co-leading rounds alongside other European VCs. Geographically, Target Global invests primarily across Europe and Israel, with additional exposure to the US through syndication. The firm's total assets under management have been publicly stated at over $1.5B (per Target Global, 2022), covering multiple fund vehicles including the Selected Opportunities LP series. The team comprises approximately 20 investment professionals across London, Berlin, and Tel Aviv. Target Global maintains a philanthropic arm, Target Global Impact, which focuses on climate and education initiatives—operationally separate from the fund. Source: public record. No recent material events specific to the Selected Opportunities LP fund have been reported, and no firm-provided data on AUM, deployment, or personnel were available. The fund is structurally tied to Target Global's multi-strategy platform, which combines a sector-agnostic approach with a targeted thesis on technology disruption.
