Success doesn't just happen.

For us, it's all about success by design.

Team8 is a venture fund with $1.5B in AUM that builds and invests in companies tackling the world’s biggest challenges in cyber, software infra, fintech, and digital health. Team8's proven methodology spans from vision to impact. Its signature venture creation and capital models, village of world-class leaders, and the most thorough validation process are all designed to position founders for success.

Since our founding in 2014, we’ve been driven by the same goals as the founders we partner with – to be the first to solve real world problems where our domains intersect, and to drive lasting impact while doing so.

Our dedication to founder success is shared by every Team8 village member, advisor, and investor. It inspires us to keep partnering with ProFounders (as we like to call them) who want to accelerate beyond what most founders are grinding towards. Success doesn’t just happen. At Team8, it’s all about success by design.

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

Builders who others follow

"Pro founders are extremely ambitious people who want to make a stand in the world. They're extremely smart and hardworking, and most importantly, they're folks who really have what it takes to attract the key people in their field to want to work for their companies and not another one."

Yuval Shachar

Executive Chairman & Managing Partner

De-risking from day one

"Our process and team are designed to minimize market, technology, and team risk upfront. If there is conviction, we lean in with almost 100 experts to help you get there quickly, designing your path towards success while converting risk into execution you can directly control."

Rakefet Russak Aminoach

Managing Partner

Focus on what matters

" What I can give founders is my experience with tough, big challenges that are behind me now. It's easier for me than for them to say leave this one. Just focus here. This is the only thing that matters. All the rest will be fine. Solving challenges is mainly a question of determination, of the courage to deal with it, and knowing which issues are the important ones."

Ori Baruch Yankelev

Partner & CRO

Building a successful startup

"Building a company is so hard. People who have done it really successfully sometimes make it look easy, but founders go through insane challenges. It is a personal, financial, emotional roller coaster of ups and downs, of successes and failures. The journey of building a startup requires resilience, experience, perseverance, and an appreciation for how hard this really is and what good help really looks like."

Israel Grimberg

Co-Founder & Managing Partner

PMF by design

"At Team8, we’ve built a methodology to achieve product-market fit through three capabilities: our trusted village to assess urgent problems, a validation-obsessed market approach, and the Team8 philosophy—what we call The ProFounder."
