StageOne Ventures

StageOne Ventures, founded in 2001, is a seasoned venture capital firm investing in early-stage Israeli startups that address significant enterprise challenges through advanced technologies. With over two decades of experience, StageOne has been the first investor in many successful companies, guiding them from inception to IPOs and acquisitions, including recent exits like Qwak (acquired by JFrog), Epsagon (acquired by Cisco), Avanan (acquired by Checkpoint), and Otonomo (NSDQ: OTMO). StageOne manages over $500M across four funds, including the latest $150M Fund IV, closed in January 2022. The firm’s portfolio includes industry leaders like Coralogix, Silverfort, NeuroBlade, and DoControl, all prominent in the enterprise-tech sector. Specializing in preparing companies for Series A funding, StageOne works closely with both Israeli and US investors. The firm has a strong focus on Israeli founders, supporting them both in Israel and globally, including in the US and Europe. StageOne’s investment strategy centers on three core areas: backing Israeli founders worldwide, leading seed-stage investments with follow-on support, and investing in enterprise technology across sectors like cybersecurity, software infrastructure, vertical SaaS, AI, DevOps, and Deeptech. Based in Israel, the StageOne team includes three partners and a diverse investment team, with expertise across various domains. They provide added value services like marketing, HR, business development, corporate connections, and strategic investor introductions, helping founders achieve market leadership and build impactful companies in the enterprise tech sector.
