"We’re at a critical crossroads. As fintech capabilities grow, they can either be used for good or exploited for harm. If liberal democracies don’t lead the way in using technology for financial defense, terrorist groups and hostile states will use the same tools to exploit our vulnerabilities. This is a race, not just of tech, but of will," writes Noam Inbar, Partner at Viola FinTech.

מה גורם לעזיבות באחת מהקרנות המייסדות של ההייטק הישראלי

Viola Ventures, a prominent Israeli venture capital firm, is undergoing significant management changes. Key partners, including founder Avi Zeevi and Danny Cohen, are stepping down, with Zeevi continuing to serve on existing boards. The firm is shifting its focus towards fintech, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence, moving away from consumer investments. This transition is part of a generational shift within the 24-year-old firm, as younger partners like Omri Ben-David and Zvika Oron take on leadership roles. Despite these changes, Viola Ventures recently raised $250 million for its growth fund, although it faces challenges in a tough capital-raising environment. The firm also manages a credit arm, Viola Credit, which raised $600 million in August. The changes reflect a broader trend of partner turnover in the venture capital industry.
