Our Mission Is To Help Israeli Founders Master Uncertainty.

Horizon Capital is an Israeli VC firm founded in 2012 in Tel Aviv. As an operational fund, we exclusively invest in Israeli founders, focusing on Pre-Seed and Seed investments. Our mission is to guide startups from Seed to Series A, helping them become market-ready as quickly as possible.

This is how we do it.

Master Product-Market-Fit: Evolver Program

We’ve been in your shoes, and now we’re here to help you become the best version of yourself as a CEO. 

Horizon developed a unique methodology with a 12-month 1:1 coaching program addressing both your personal and professional needs, ensuring you get from Seed to Round A in the most productive way. We take pride in the fact that 100% of EVOLVER’s companies have reached Round A (surpassing the market benchmark of 30-50%!)

Funding Uncertainty: Control Your Journey

We invest exclusively in Israeli-founded startups.
We’re typically your first institutional check, either at the pre-seed stage or right after initial funding from angels, family, or friends.

Our typical investment in pre-seed rounds ranges from $500K to $2M, and we usually lead those rounds. At the seed stage, we lead rounds of up to $5M, and we often continue to lead, co-lead, or take significant positions in follow-on rounds.

We back software-driven businesses across all verticals, with one clear filter: strong fundamentals and bold Israeli founders.
