What Jibe Ventures does

Jibe Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund founded in Israel in 2020/2021 by co-founders Assaf Jacobi and Danny Hadar, who hold the title of Captains. The fund positions itself as a people-first, relationship-driven investor that prioritizes human connection with founders over a deck-driven process, with a stated mission spanning team building, ideation, and go-to-market support. Its differentiated structural feature is the Crew Members, a group of fund investors who are themselves founders and builders of fast-growing startups and who serve as on-demand mentors to portfolio companies.

The fund invests at the pre-seed and seed stages, occasionally participating in Series A rounds, across verticals including AI, cybersecurity, fintech, enterprise software, e-commerce infrastructure, and more recently biotech/healthcare. Its portfolio includes approximately 25 companies such as Notch, ZyG, RAVEN.IO, Slice Global Equity, Modulight Biotherapeutics, Exodigo, Finout, Blockaid, Sensi.ai, and groundcover, with material liquidity events already realized through acquisitions by Nvidia (two portfolio companies), Zscaler, Cyera, and Sana. Jibe has co-led rounds alongside top-tier global funds including Bessemer, Insight Partners, Lightspeed, Headline, Norwest, and Elron, reflecting a co-investor posture in larger rounds and an emerging brand among Israeli founders.

Jibe's core technology is its venture capital investment platform and network, anchored by a portfolio job board at jobs.jibevc.com that lists 171 open roles and serves as a deal-flow and talent signal. The firm operates globally from Tel Aviv, with disclosed investment activity in North America, Europe, and the Middle East. Revenue is generated through the standard venture capital model of management fees on committed capital plus carried interest on exits, with two Nvidia acquisitions and additional strategic exits providing the basis for future carry realization.

Core offering

Jibe Ventures is an early-stage venture capital fund that invests pre-seed and seed equity into Israeli technology startups with global ambitions. Beyond capital, the fund provides portfolio founders with mentorship and operational support across team building, ideation, and go-to-market execution, delivered through its Captains (the founding partners) and Crew Members (operating LP investors who are themselves founders and builders of fast-growing startups). The fund operates a portfolio job board that doubles as a community and deal-flow channel.
