YOBE Ventures is a Hollywood, Florida-based family office and venture capital firm that has been backing extraordinary tech founders from Seed to Series A since 2015; the formal LLC, Yobe Consulting LLC, is registered in Florida and the Ventures brand was formalized around 2020.

YOBE invests across the United States, Europe, Israel and Latin America, is sector-agnostic within tech, and concentrates on SaaS, AI, fintech and deep-tech companies that have crossed the post-product-market-fit threshold, typically at least $1M in ARR and ready to scale globally, generally as a co-investor. Check sizes range from $50K to $500K with the ability to syndicate larger allocations alongside its international advisor network. The firm reports approximately 14 portfolio companies, with named historical co-investments including Aptiv, Aircall, Canva and Payfit, more than $84M raised alongside its advisor network, five positive exits via IPO or other liquidity events, and a self-reported 14.6x actual MOIC across live valuations and exits since inception. YOBE was named HackerNoon's Startup of the Year 2024 in Venture Capital and has stated a 2025 focus on creative early-liquidity strategies for portfolio companies. By pairing direct investment with a capital-raising advisory practice and an international syndicate network, YOBE Ventures backs post-product-market-fit SaaS, AI and fintech founders scaling globally.
