Catalyst Investments

Catalyst Investments is a prominent Israeli multi-fund firm with over 24 years of experience in investing in mature, disruptive technology companies that have an Israel nexus. Founded in 1999, it is currently the only fund still operating with the same managing partners. Catalyst typically invests in disruptive technology companies with an Israel nexus focused on long-term growth and international expansion. Beyond financial growth, Catalyst is committed to driving positive change through investments that prioritize social responsibility and sustainable business practices.

The firm's investment strategy focuses on identifying Israeli and Israeli-related companies that require capital injection, strategic guidance, and the right partner to develop and expand their business. Catalyst looks across a wide range of sectors for disruptive and defendable technology with applications in global markets. They invest in people and partner with highly capable and motivated management teams. The managing partners typically serve on the boards of portfolio companies and are proactively involved in helping companies realize their full potential.

Catalyst has a strong track record, with Catalyst III resulting in five exits out of eight investments, with four going public in America and one through M&A. In May 2023, Catalyst announced the closing of its fourth fund, Catalyst IV, which manages assets of $150 million, including co-investments, and will make both primary investments and direct secondary transactions. The new fund focuses on mature companies that are category leaders in various technology sectors, including enterprise SaaS, cybersecurity, smart mobility, climate tech, energy, life sciences, and others.
