Viola FinTech

Viola FinTech is a prominent Israeli-based venture capital fund specializing in global fintech companies. As an integral part of the larger Viola Group, one of Israel's leading technology investment groups, Viola FinTech leverages a deep understanding of the financial services industry and a vast network to support its portfolio. The fund's investment thesis centers on identifying innovative B2B fintech solutions, including areas like insurtech, proptech, and enterprise software designed for financial institutions, across various stages of growth. Their strategic focus is on companies that can drive significant transformation within the financial sector.

The fund adopts a cross-stage investment approach, participating in rounds from seed to growth stages. This flexibility allows Viola FinTech to back promising startups early in their development and continue supporting them through subsequent funding rounds. They often invest alongside other venture investors, providing not just capital but also strategic guidance, operational expertise, and access to their extensive network of financial institutions and technology partners. Their global mandate means they look beyond Israel's borders for opportunities, although they maintain a strong presence and focus on the vibrant Israeli tech ecosystem.

Viola FinTech has demonstrated its commitment to the sector through significant capital deployment. For instance, they closed their second dedicated fintech fund, Viola FinTech II, at $150 million in 2021, following their initial $100 million fund launched in 2017. This capital enables them to write initial checks typically ranging from $1 million to $5 million, with the capacity for larger follow-on investments as companies scale. Their portfolio includes a diverse array of companies that are reshaping the financial landscape, reflecting their strategic focus on disruptive technologies and strong management teams.
