Amiti Ventures

What Amiti Ventures does

Amiti Ventures is a privately held Israeli venture capital firm founded in 2010 and headquartered at 22 Rothschild Boulevard, Tel Aviv, incorporated as Amiti Ventures Management 4 Ltd. The firm specializes in early-stage deep-tech investments, backing a small number of 'outlier' founders who are building foundational technologies — typically before the broader market recognizes the category, scale, or opportunity. Its 18+ portfolio companies span quantum computing (Quantum Art), semiconductor acceleration (NextSilicon), LiDAR and imaging (Innoviz, Vayyar, Valens), cybersecurity (Cycognito, Spectral, Veriti), healthcare data (Briya), and AI infrastructure (Dataloop, Qwak, Demostack). Two portfolio companies have reached public markets (Innoviz on NASDAQ as INVZ and Valens on NYSE as VLN), and the firm has produced multiple high-profile exits including Qwak's acquisition by JFrog for $230 million and Flow Security's acquisition by CrowdStrike for $200 million. Portfolio companies are sourced primarily through the personal networks of the founding partners rather than through product distribution.

The firm operates with a deliberately small, senior team led by Founder, CEO and CIO Ben Rabinowitz and General Partner and COO Yafit Schwartz, supported by Principal Noora Kattouf and a small operations staff. Amiti's stated investment approach is 'depth by design' — concentrating capital and hands-on support on a limited number of companies per fund vintage rather than spreading risk across a broad portfolio. The firm joined AION Labs, a pharma venture studio focused on AI-driven drug discovery, as a Strategic Partner in January 2024, signaling expansion of its deal-flow funnel into biotech. Revenue is generated through standard venture fund mechanics: recurring management fees on committed capital under management, plus performance-based carried interest on successful portfolio company exits, with no product or service revenue.
