About

Founded in 1988, Shamrock Israel Growth Fund is a private equity firm based in Tel Aviv, Israel. The firm seeks to invest in growth-stage companies through buyouts, preferring business products & services, healthcare, and manufacturing sectors within the Israel region. It is the Tel Aviv-based growth-equity vehicle of Shamrock Holdings, the Burbank, California investment firm that manages the capital of the late Roy E. Disney and his heirs. The fund targets growth-stage technology companies, typically writing checks between $10 million and $30 million into Israeli and Israel-linked software, cybersecurity, fintech, and digital health businesses that have achieved meaningful commercial traction. Unlike early-stage venture funds, Shamrock Israel Growth Fund enters after product-market fit is established, often leading or co-leading Series B and C rounds. The fund deploys family capital rather than third-party institutional commitments, allowing for extended holding periods.
