Investor Relations & Capital Introduction in Jerusalem

Jerusalem is one of the world's oldest cities and a centre of research and higher education. For founders, it offers a growing technology ecosystem built around university research, deep tech and life sciences.

Why Jerusalem Matters for Capital Raising

The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, whose technology transfer company Yissum was founded in 1964, has produced many patents and spin-out companies.

Mobileye, the autonomous driving technology company acquired by Intel, was founded in Jerusalem in 1999.

The city's technology community has grown in AI, life sciences, medical devices and automotive technology.

What Jerusalem Investors Examine

For deep tech and life sciences companies, intellectual property and clinical or technical validation are examined closely.

Investors also assess geopolitical and regulatory factors.

The Jerusalem Startup and Investor Ecosystem

Jerusalem's technology companies are concentrated in the Har Hotzvim technology park in the north of the city and the Malha Technology Park in the south west, alongside a growing number of startups in the city centre. Hadassah Medical Center and Shaare Zedek Medical Center give life sciences founders access to clinical expertise, and the Jerusalem College of Technology adds engineering and computing graduates.

Pharmaceutical manufacturing, medical device research and software development sit side by side with a sizeable government and public sector presence, creating opportunities in health, education and civic technology. The city's diverse communities have also encouraged initiatives to bring more Haredi and Arab residents into the technology workforce.

OurCrowd, the equity crowdfunding and venture platform, is based in Jerusalem, and the city's founders often combine local research partnerships with funding from Tel Aviv and international investors.

Investor Types Active in Jerusalem

Jerusalem attracts venture funds focused on deep tech and life sciences, crowdfunding and syndicate platforms, angels, and family offices from North America and Europe with long-standing ties to the city. Impact investors and philanthropic capital support companies addressing social inclusion and health, while corporate investors from the automotive and medical sectors seek research partnerships. They tend to value scientific depth, strong intellectual property and patient, mission-driven teams.
