Thesis
Team8 is a global venture group founded in 2014 that builds and invests in technology companies, with a strong focus on cybersecurity, data infrastructure, artificial intelligence (AI), fintech, and digital health. Operating with a unique dual model of venture creation and venture capital, they co-build companies from the ground up and make traditional early-stage venture investments. Their investment thesis centers on identifying and addressing significant market challenges within their core sectors, leveraging deep domain expertise, a network of industry leaders ('Team8 Village'), and an in-house team of 'company builders' to de-risk the venture process and accelerate startup success. They focus on thesis-aligned, bold, and validated ideas where they can add substantial value. Team8 primarily invests in early-stage ventures, including Seed and Series A rounds, and also engages in venture creation from inception. While headquartered in Tel Aviv, Israel, they have a global reach and invest in companies across Israel and the United States. As of March 2024, their AUM exceeded $1 billion, with new funds totaling $500 million. Their second venture capital fund closed in March 2024 with $235 million. Typical check sizes range from $3 million to $8 million, with average investments of $13 million for Seed and $16.9 million for Series A.
