Pitango Venture Capital
Reef-building VC that anchored Israel's ecosystem since 1993 Yozma program—$2.8B AUM with 85+ exits that recycle capital into new startups.
Pitango anchors Israel's venture ecosystem like a coral reef anchors marine biodiversity. Founded in 1993 under the government's Yozma program that seeded Israeli VC, Pitango's $2.8 billion AUM and 250+ investments across three decades established the infrastructure that enabled subsequent Israeli tech success. Multi-stage capability (seed to late-stage through Pitango Growth) means they can support companies through entire lifecycles rather than handing off to foreign investors. Like reef-building corals that create habitat for thousands of species, Pitango's 85+ exits created the recycled capital and experienced operators that fuel new Israeli startups.
