Adir Ventures

Adir Ventures is a New York-based investment firm founded in 2021 by Barry Karfunkel, with deep expertise in technology-enabled insurance businesses. The firm focuses on insurance carriers, distribution, and business services within the insurance industry, investing across insurance technology, financial services, digital health, health technology, and SaaS in the United States and Europe. Karfunkel and the Adir team have integrated more than 20 acquisitions, bringing direct operational experience in building and scaling insurance businesses through technology and analytics. The firm leads rounds at seed and Series A stages with checks of $1 million to $10 million. The portfolio of 7 investments includes iBynd, an insurance distribution platform; HealthyLabs, a health technology company; and Precedent, which closed a $9 million seed round. These companies reflect the firm's focus on applying software and data capabilities to insurance underwriting, distribution, and claims processes — markets where technology adoption has historically lagged behind other financial services sectors. Adir Ventures combines venture capital, private equity, and seed investing disciplines to build and grow technology-enabled insurance businesses. The firm's founding partner brings direct industry operating experience — having navigated the regulatory, actuarial, and distribution complexities of the insurance market — making Adir a more substantive strategic partner than a financial-only investor for insurtech founders. For companies building at the intersection of insurance, health technology, and enterprise SaaS, Adir's M&A track record and industry relationships provide a credible pathway to both commercial scale and strategic exit.
