Maor Investments

Maor Investments is a Luxembourg-based venture capital firm that strategically focuses on the burgeoning Israeli deep-tech ecosystem. Established with a clear mandate to bridge European capital with Israeli innovation, the firm targets growth-stage companies poised for significant global expansion. Maor's investment thesis centers on disruptive technologies across various deep-tech sectors, including artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, enterprise software, and advanced materials, among others. Their presence in Luxembourg provides a unique gateway for European investors seeking exposure to Israel's vibrant tech scene, while offering Israeli startups access to a broader international network and capital.

The firm has successfully raised two significant funds to date. Their inaugural fund, Maor I, closed at €50 million in 2019, laying the groundwork for their specialized investment approach. Building on this success, Maor Investments announced the final close of its second fund, Maor II, at an impressive €100 million in 2023. This substantial capital pool underscores the firm's growing influence and commitment to its niche, enabling them to support a larger number of promising Israeli companies through critical growth phases.

Maor Investments typically participates in Series A and Series B funding rounds, although they are also open to Series C investments for companies demonstrating strong traction. Their initial investment checks generally range from $3 million to $10 million, providing crucial capital for companies to scale their operations, expand market reach, and accelerate product development. Furthermore, Maor maintains the capacity to provide significant follow-on investments, committing up to $15 million per company across subsequent rounds, which demonstrates their long-term commitment to their portfolio companies' success and growth trajectory.

This strategic approach allows Maor Investments to act as a long-term partner, providing not just capital but also strategic guidance and access to their extensive network in both Europe and Israel. By concentrating on deep-tech and growth-stage companies, Maor aims to back ventures that can achieve substantial market impact and generate significant returns for its limited partners.
