Partnering with the exceptional to build the impossible
Ranked the fourth most prominent fund in Europe in 2021 (dealroom.co) with a portfolio that includes monday.com, Riskified, Rapyd, Fundbox, Snapchat, and more than a hundred more companies, and with over 25 exits and IPOs and 16 unicorns, Entrée Capital is a brand you cannot ignore.
The firm began when childhood friends Aviad (Avi) Eyal and Martin Moshal got together to start making investments using their capital in an organized way. Entrée initially operated on a small scale, doing a few angel deals a year and its early successes led to additional funds being invested. Today, Entrée Capital’s team of 18 manages over $650 million and has invested in hundreds of global startups in the U.S., Canada, the UK, Europe, Israel, Australia, Africa, India, South Korea, and the United Arab Emirates.
At the start of COVID-19 Entrée closed its Israel Early Stage Fund III with $100m in commitments. The pace increased further with the Israel Early Growth Fund I being closed in late 2020 having $125m in commitments. In parallel Entrée continued to run its global funds and by the end of 2020 had invested over $150m in startups across the globe. Over the last two years Entrée was ranked as the most active Fund in Israel (IVC), and co-founder and managing partner Avi Eyal was listed #3 on 2021’s Forbes Midas List of “The Top Venture Capital Investors in Europe, Israel, and the Middle East”.
Entrée is led by people with a shared vision, values, and drive to succeed. Moreover, the partners, who have had experience running and building their own companies, understand what makes founders tick – and what support they need to build successful companies. “When we examine a new investment opportunity," says Avi, "we look deeply into the timing, TAM (total accessible market), tech, and most importantly the team of founders."
