Aleph
Israeli venture firm backing Israeli and US founders building category-defining enterprise companies.
Aleph is the premier early-stage B2B fund in Israel with genuine technical chops and strong founder relationships. Eisenberg can be opinionated and his Twitter takes sometimes overshadow the fund, but he and Shochat have built something real here. They actually understand enterprise software and aren't just throwing money at AI demos. The catch? They're extremely selective and if you're not building serious B2B infrastructure, they'll pass quickly. Also, being Israel-focused means they may not have the same Silicon Valley connections as other funds when you need to scale globally.
- —Best for: Technical B2B founders building serious infrastructure or security tools
- —Watch out for: Eisenberg's strong opinions and potential Twitter drama spillover
