At TAU Ventures we break new ground. We believe that it takes more than capital for a startup to thrive. It demands more than the brightest brains. Goes beyond having awesome technology. That’s why we provide a supportive home-base for our founders at the beginning of their journey.
Our Investment Strategy
Our unique investment approach infuses the first capital of up to $1M, giving companies a strong launchpad to kick-off their journey. We look for strong teams and groundbreaking technologies. In our opinion, product is overrated — it will likely change along the way. Ultimately, we want to work with good people.
Our Value-Add
Our founders are warriors. They are people who have the guts and stamina to build and scale a global company. They take risks and move quickly. Together, with our world-leading team of experienced mentors and industry partners, we empower startups in their critical early steps.
At our 1000 sq meter co-working office space located in Tel Aviv, we work shoulder to shoulder with our startups and founders, nurturing their growth and cultivating the strength of our home-grown ecosystem on a daily basis.
As a fund that provides more than just capital, we see our founders’ well-being and professional development as a top priority. We do this by building peer support platforms – including exclusive & discrete forums for our founders, focused on problem-solving and mutual accountability; and GROW, our in-house leadership program, set to empower and support first-time managers in the fund’s portfolio companies.
Tel Aviv University
With the TAU brand and resources, we open doors to an array of opportunities for our portfolio companies around the world, including access to world-class knowledge, hiring opportunities, and connections.
Climate & ESG
As part of our investment thesis at TAU Ventures, we consider Climate and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) factors that can lead to outstanding business outcomes.
We believe ESG integration is essential for building successful companies. We invest in companies reflecting cutting-edge innovation; thus, their technologies, services, and products can have an enduring impact on our efforts to solve global challenges. We aim to mainstream basic ESG practices across our portfolio, just as in other areas of capacity building.
To date, we have invested in four companies that drive impact across these critical aspects. We will continue to employ the ESG lens as we promote the growth of mission-driven companies.
