🚀 Welcoming Insignito Solutions Ltd to the ICI Fund Portfolio! Excited to share our investment in Insignito, an Israeli startup pioneering the field of #drone #acoustics. Insignito's AI-powered technologies dramatically reduce drone noise, enable accurate long-range acoustic detection, and provide mission planning tools that optimize performance in real-world environments. What makes Insignito truly stand out is its founding team — Itay Nourian (CEO), Yarden Eilat (CTO), and Dor Ruf (VP R&D) — three longtime colleagues from the Israeli Air Force who bring deep technical expertise, operational excellence, and the trust that comes from years of working together in high-stakes environments. We believe Insignito has the potential to set the global standard for drone acoustics, opening new opportunities across commercial, defense, and urban applications. 👏 Grateful to back this visionary team and excited to see what’s ahead. 📩 Read more about Insignito in our latest newsletter: https://lnkd.in/dgM5u24d .

I added the new Israeli Proptech startup landscape by TLV Partners to my 2025 collection on VC Cafe. There are over 200+ Israeli startups operating in the proptech sector (including a number of unicorns). The new crop of AI-first startups are penetrating every layer of the tech stack - from elevating the tenant experience and enabling predictive maintenance, to construction site monitoring and delivering AI-driven infrastructure insights.

Israel continues to prove itself as a global innovation hub. 🇮🇱 In November 2025 alone, Israeli startups raised $1.4 billion, bringing the year-to-date total to over $9 billion. A strong signal of the country’s entrepreneurial energy — and a reminder of the importance of investing in talent, technology, and community. #Israel #Startups #Innovation #VentureCapital https://lnkd.in/dXr4r4m9

Our partner Raz Mangel sat down with CTech by Calcalist to share our trends for 2026, and while the conversation covered everything from deep tech to AI infrastructure, one theme cuts through it all: Israeli companies are mastering the discipline of scaling. For years, the Israeli tech narrative centered on innovation. But what's changing now, and what global LPs are increasingly excited about, is the pairing of that innovation with systematic go-to-market execution. We're seeing it firsthand: multiple Greenfield portfolio companies that were at single-digit ARR when we invested are now approaching or crossing $100M+ ARR with line of sight to $1B. This didn't happen by accident. It's the result of implementing the right operational frameworks early - what we call the Seven Pillars of Efficient Growth: Strategy, Operational Framework, People, Pipeline, Sales Process, Partnerships, and Account Management. Our G²M Excellence program exists to help companies build this GTM infrastructure from the start, avoiding costly cycles and enabling the rapid yet efficient growth required to reach sustainable scale. This year, whether it's deep tech, AI infra, or cyber, the companies that will define Israel's next decade won't just build great technology. They'll build enduring global businesses with the go-to-market muscle to match their technical depth. Read Greenfield Partners full trends and predictions for 2026 in the comments:
