JAL Ventures

JAL Ventures is a venture capital firm founded in 2004 and based in Herzliya, Israel. Established by Amiram Levinberg and Joshua Levinberg, the firm provides expansion capital to fast-growing, revenue-generating Israeli technology companies with exponential scalability potential. JAL has raised three funds, with Fund II (JAL II) closing at $105 million focused on post-seed and Series A rounds in early-revenue Israeli tech companies. The team of 14 includes Jasmin Kelman as CFO. The firm targets B2B and enterprise markets, backing companies that demonstrate deep, impactful technology and proven product-market fit — typically companies with at least $1 million in revenue or clear initial sales traction. It leads rounds across its portfolio. JAL has invested in 29 companies across enterprise software, SaaS, e-commerce, cybersecurity, and communications. The portfolio has achieved 10 acquisitions — a strong exit rate for an Israel-focused growth fund. Notable exits include Perimeter 81 (cybersecurity, acquired by Check Point Software), Kasamba, Infinipoint, Mintigo, Nanorep, and Opster (search optimization, acquired by Elastic). Current portfolio companies include Datarails (AI-powered financial planning, which raised $70 million following 70% revenue growth), IRP Systems (electric motor technology), Novidea ($50 million Series C insurtech), Solutum (environmental services), Vendict (compliance), and Octup (e-commerce operations). JAL Ventures looks for companies that blend unique technological offerings with domain expertise, committed founding teams, and highly satisfied paying customers. The firm's investment criteria focus on businesses with proven commercial traction and a capital-efficient path to significant scale — an approach shaped by two decades of partnering with Israeli technology companies through multiple market cycles.
