Hetz Ventures has closed a $140 million fourth fund, completing the raise during wartime and a period of global economic uncertainty. With Fund IV, Hetz brings its total assets under management to nearly $500 million, just eight years after its founding. The firm has positioned itself as a specialist early-stage investor in cybersecurity, data, and AI infrastructure, focusing on foundational technologies rather than consumer-facing applications or late-stage growth plays.<\/p>\n
Hetz-backed companies have generated more than $1 billion in exit value, including Granulate, acquired by Intel in 2022; Silk Security, acquired by Armis in 2024; and Prompt Security, acquired by SentinelOne in 2025. <\/p>\n
Beyond exits, Hetz points to continued momentum among its active portfolio. Recent financing rounds at companies such as Majestic Labs and BlinkOps underscore the firm\u2019s emphasis on identifying founders early and supporting them through successive stages of growth.<\/p>\n
\u201cDespite one of the most difficult years in Israel\u2019s recent history, innovation here hasn\u2019t paused for a moment but even accelerated,\u201d said Judah Taub, Managing Partner at Hetz Ventures. \u201cThere has never been a more ambitious generation of Israeli entrepreneurs who are thinking bigger. Combined with the technological disruption we\u2019re seeing across cybersecurity, data, and infrastructure, we believe this cohort will produce some of the most important companies of the next decade. Fund IV is not just a vote of confidence in Hetz, but in the Israeli ecosystem at large.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Hetz Ventures has closed a $140 million fourth fund, completing the raise during wartime and a period of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223527,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[20],"tags":[345,343,344,85,46,125],"class_list":{"0":"post-223526","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-artificial-intelligence","8":"tag-ai","9":"tag-artificial-intelligence","10":"tag-artificialintelligence","11":"tag-il","12":"tag-israel","13":"tag-technology"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223526","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223526"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223526\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223527"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223526"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223526"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223526"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
