Mediterranean Towers Ventures

What Mediterranean Towers Ventures does

Mediterranean Towers Ventures is an Israel-based AgeTech venture capital firm founded in 2017 as the strategic investment arm of Mediterranean Towers (TLV: MDTR), a publicly traded retirement living developer-operator with more than four decades of operating history. The firm invests at the pre-seed and seed stages in early-stage startups developing technological solutions for older adults, with an explicit focus on loneliness, medical outcomes, independence, and quality of life. Headquartered at Derech Hayam 5, Ganei Tikva, Israel, the firm is led by Managing Director Omer Brakin, who also serves as VP Business Development of the parent Mediterranean Towers.

The firm's core offering extends beyond capital to include an Entrepreneur in Residence program that grants portfolio startups VIP, multi-day access to Mediterranean Towers' retirement communities for real-world product testing, focus groups, and validation with older-adult end-users and on-site staff. Supplementary services include strategic mentorship from the parent company's operating leadership, network access to partners and co-investors in the aging and healthcare ecosystem, and visibility through annual Tech Startup of the Year competitions, including a first international edition launched in 2021. Disclosed portfolio companies include XRHealth (AI-driven therapeutic XR), NeuroReality (cognitive training VR), Maolac (AI-powered bio-functional proteins), Travaxy (travel accessibility), SwayV (mobility and balance), and Obie (Startup of the Year 2021 winner).

The business model is that of a corporate venture arm: returns are generated through equity investments realized via portfolio exits, IPOs, or secondary sales, rather than through management fees on third-party capital. The firm does not publish fund size, AUM, management fees, or revenue, and operates with a small internal team (1-10 employees). Its strategic significance is a function of its parent-company distribution advantage, which provides real-world testing environments and end-user access that is structurally difficult for independent AgeTech investors to replicate.
