Cerca Partners

Cerca Partners is a specialized venture capital fund based in Ra'anana, Israel, established in 2021. The firm distinguishes itself as a leading follow-on VC fund, primarily focusing on providing growth capital to high-potential Israeli startups. Unlike early-stage investors, Cerca Partners targets companies that have already achieved significant milestones, including demonstrated product-market fit and substantial market traction, typically investing from Series B rounds onwards.

The core of Cerca Partners' investment strategy revolves around identifying and supporting mature startups that are poised for significant scaling. Their typical investment range for a first cheque is substantial, generally falling between $5 million and $25 million per company. This strategic focus allows them to participate in larger funding rounds, often alongside other prominent venture capital firms, providing crucial capital for expansion and market penetration. Their inaugural fund, Cerca Fund I, successfully closed at $100 million, underscoring their capacity to deploy significant capital into the Israeli tech ecosystem.

Cerca Partners leverages its deep insights and extensive network within the Israeli startup scene to gain unique access to promising investment opportunities. The fund primarily concentrates its investments across key technology sectors, including Enterprise Software, Cybersecurity, Fintech, and Artificial Intelligence. By focusing on these high-growth areas and later-stage companies, Cerca Partners aims to mitigate early-stage risks while capitalizing on the proven success and growth trajectories of its portfolio companies, solidifying its position as a critical player in the Israeli venture capital landscape.
