10D was founded by Yahal Zilka and Rotem Eldar, two distinguished investors, each bringing a unique and exceptional skill set as well as an outstanding local and global network.
10D provides seed and Series A investments to exceptional Israeli entrepreneurs in start-ups that disrupt markets by using deep technologies, creating new business models and featuring outstanding founding teams.
10D is a leading Israel venture fund focused on Seed and Series A investments in Israel and Israeli entrepreneurs globally, investing in start-ups that disrupt markets by using deep technology, creating new business models, and featuring entrepreneurial teams.
The 10D partners, through their current and previous activities, have invested in a multitude of companies, eleven of which have achieved unicorn status with valuations ranging between $1 billion to $6 billion. In most cases, the 10D partners were the first investors in the seed or Series A rounds at single-digit valuations.
Three of the partners’ previous funds are amongst the best-performing funds worldwide. When compared to US funds in the same vintage year, two rank in the top 5% and one ranks in the top 10% (Vintages 2006, 2009, 2012).
10D believes that the technology world is continuously evolving and therefore chooses not to define a rigid set of areas of investment focus for the fund. The team develops and adjusts investment themes periodically and some of the industries we believe are ripe for disruption include: Digital Health, Fintech/Insurtech and Industrial Technologies.
10D’s role as investors is to support its entrepreneurs and help them be the best versions of themselves throughout the lifecycle of the company. The team comes from different backgrounds and have different professional experience which is complementary in many areas.
