Philosophy
Our philosophy remains the same since we started operating 19 years ago and is centered around the belief that venture is not a scalable business.
We are four equal partners; we have worked together for many years and our operation is lean. Our small size ensures a very high level of trust in the partnership. This translates into transparent and quick processes which are critical for entrepreneurs.
Guided by our belief that venture doesn’t always scale well, we decided not to build a new generation of GPs at 83North. Instead, in 2025 we raised what will be our last fund, so we can concentrate on cherry-picking select new opportunities while continuing to help our companies grow and flourish. Despite our focused approach, we invest globally (US, Europe, Israel) and operate across many segments. We can do this because we rely mainly on word of mouth and referrals from our own entrepreneurs and executives.

In our 19 years of operation we’ve invested in 90 companies, exited 33 of them and have been fortunate to be involved with 14 unicorns.
We have also made tons of mistakes along the years, missed a lot of amazing companies, sometimes invested in the wrong ones, and many times we were just plain lucky, probably more than we acknowledge…
And still, lucky, or not, we’ve always believed that innovation and technology, if led by unique individuals, can make this world a better place.
We are always looking for these individuals and want to work with them.
