Aviv Venture Capital ("Aviv") invests in Israeli related unique technology companies. We focus on mid stage companies who are at a phase of transforming from an "R&D project" to a "full scale" company. Israeli technology is well respected worldwide; however, Israeli companies are physically remote from their key markets and customers. The main challenges for deriving significant investor returns are in successfully bridging the geographical, cultural and professional gaps in order to create successful global commercialization of technology. This is the phase in which Aviv can add most value to portfolio companies and entrepreneurs.
