The VC fund betting on Israel's Arabs

Takwin, a venture capital fund that invests only in startups with at least one Arab founder, has been a key player in the growth of Arab entrepreneurship in Israel. Since its founding seven years ago, around 1,000 entrepreneurs with ideas have passed through the fund. The fund has so far raised $12 million and has invested in eight companies whose value was less than $8 million when they invested, and today they’re worth more than $170 million. Takwin is currently engaged in raising money for a second fund, aiming to raise $80 million to $100 million.

Israel's tech scene is red-hot, but there are few Arab-led startups - a top venture capitalist thinks he knows why

The article discusses the lack of Arab representation in the Israeli tech industry and the efforts of Takwin Labs, a venture capital firm and startup incubator, to change that. It highlights four factors contributing to the low Arab participation, including cultural attitudes towards failure, lack of major success stories, a lack of experience, and geography. Takwin Labs aims to create success stories and provide support to Arab-led startups. The article suggests that the situation may be starting to change with initiatives focused on developing marginalized areas and promoting mixed Arab and Jewish teams.
