J-Ventures

J-Ventures is a community-driven global venture capital fund based in Palo Alto, California, founded in 2015 by Oded Hermoni. Operating under the banner of a 'Capitalist Kibbutz,' the J-Ventures Group — comprising J-Ventures Funds, J-Impact, and J-Angels — collectively manages $100 million in assets, with the core fund exceeding $60 million. The firm invests across enterprise software, fintech, cybersecurity, proptech, aviation, gaming, clean technology, agtech, and healthcare, deploying initial checks of $250K to $1 million with follow-on reserves. J-Ventures focuses on US-Israel cross-border opportunities and was the most active foreign VC in Israel in the first half of 2024. The fund has backed 42 active portfolio companies with 6 acquisitions to date. Notable holdings include Descope, Beehero (agtech), Finout (cloud cost management), DataRobot (AI platform), Bria.ai (generative AI), Hidden Level (airspace security), VisbyMedical (rapid diagnostics), and Cents (laundry technology). Exits include Omada Health, which went public in 2025, alongside Conversa Health, Concertio, MachEye, and Ananda. Hermoni has personally invested in more than 70 companies since 2005, with five reaching unicorn status. What distinguishes J-Ventures is its LP structure: the fund is backed by 470 expert members, including 140 serial founders, more than 100 current and former GPs from leading VC firms, and 170 Fortune 500 executives. This community — augmented by a 180-member J-Advisory network of former startup founders, CXOs, and industry executives — provides portfolio companies with operational guidance and market access that extends well beyond capital. The firm provides hands-on support through every stage of a company's growth.
