About
Fresh Fund is an Israeli first-check venture capital fund investing in early-stage startups across segments and verticals. Founded in 2016, it has evolved from Israel's first university-focused venture fund into one of the largest and most active pre-seed investors in the country. Fresh Fund aims to be the first institutional investor in the companies it supports, providing capital and strategic support, and often collaborating with other investors. They typically make around 10 new investments per year, with an initial check size ranging from $500,000 to $1,000,000. While most of their portfolio companies are based in Israel, they also consider startups with at least one Israeli founder located elsewhere. The fund is sector-agnostic, investing in areas such as B2B SaaS, Climate, Compliance, Defense, Devtools, Fintech, and Healthcare.
