Built by Immigrants,
For Immigrants

Aliyah Ventures was founded with a singular mission: to back the next generation of immigrant founders building world-class companies from Israel.

Our Story

Over 50% of VC-backed unicorns in the U.S. have immigrant founders, yet less than 5% of Israeli unicorns were founded by immigrants who came after military age. We saw a massive opportunity being overlooked.

Immigrant founders are systematically undervalued in Israel due to language barriers, different networks, and lack of army experience. But we believe these differences are actually advantages — global networks, native understanding of international markets, and proven commercial excellence.

We created Aliyah Ventures to bridge this gap and provide immigrant founders with the capital, network, and support they need to succeed in Israel's vibrant startup ecosystem.
