Alicorn Venture Partners
Investing in secondaries since inception in 2017, Alicorn Venture Partners has backed some of the most highly regarded names in Israeli and European tech. Alicorn invests in undervalued top tier companies at a later stage of growth. We leverage proprietary access to these companies through a deep rooted startup network. Secondary transactions enable us to optimise our entry and timing, hence maximising returns. Over the years, we have built extensive knowledge of, and experience within, the secondary market which continues to flourish in Israel and emerge in mainland Europe. In specific situations we will also invest in primary investment rounds. Our portfolio companies are almost exclusively B2B, with products in a range of deep technology thematics from cybersecurity to data architecture. By focusing on value and targeting growth stage companies with a bias for M&A exits, we inherently channel investment towards shorter investment horizons and higher returns.
