Fidelity Investments is a major institutional investor managing over $14 trillion in assets, primarily through mutual funds, retirement plans, and brokerage services. In 2024, it launched Fidelity Venture Capital Fund I, a $250M fund focused on mid- to late-stage tech companies. This marks Fidelity’s formal move into direct VC investing, targeting sectors like AI, aerospace, telecom, and enterprise software. While the VC fund is primarily U.S.-focused, Fidelity and its affiliates (notably Eight Roads) have an active history of investing in Israeli startups. The fund serves as a bridge between institutional capital and late-stage private innovation.
