What Mobilion Ventures does

Mobilion Ventures is an Israel-based early-stage venture capital fund focused exclusively on smart mobility. Founded in 2019/2020 and headquartered in Rosh Ha'ayin with 1–10 employees, the firm invests in New Energy, Urban, and Digital Mobility technologies, positioning itself as the "innovation arm" of global automotive OEMs, Tier 1 suppliers, and distributors. The fund's value proposition rests on providing portfolio companies with direct access to commercial validation channels through its strategic partners — NEXUS Automotive International (138 countries, 84 OEM suppliers, 170+ members), Mitsubishi Corporation (90 countries), and PHINIA (formerly Delphi Technologies, 20 countries) — rather than on capital alone.

The fund manages an active portfolio of approximately 11–12 companies spanning computer-vision motorcycle safety (RideVision), silicon anode battery technology (Silib), battery hazard detection (Algolion, acquired by General Motors in April 2024), cognitive driver assessment (ADAM Cogtech), AI vehicle damage inspection (Click-Ins), Indian automotive aftermarket digital platforms (Ki Mobility), autonomous geo-fenced vehicles (Carteav), wireless power delivery for robotics (CaPow), carbon reduction analytics (Clearly), remote autonomous vehicle connectivity (DriveU Auto), data-driven mobility insurance (Connected Insurance), and connected garage SaaS (Service Next). Notable milestones include the Algolion–GM acquisition and RideVision's 2021 CLEPA Award for Automotive Safety Innovation.

Mobilion generates returns through capital gains on portfolio exits rather than product pricing. Its go-to-market is partner-led deal-flow: strategic OEMs and Tier 1 manufacturers provide sourcing, market intelligence, commercial validation, and distribution, which the fund translates into portfolio company traction. The leadership team combines founder Avi Feldman (Managing Partner), co-founders Eyal Zbeda and Gael Escribe, partners Dr. Anat Bonshtien (appointed April 2024) and Dr. David Abraham, and Anna Leizerovici heading business development and investor relations. Revenue and fund size are not publicly disclosed.
