lool ventures

lool ventures is a venture capital firm that invests in early stage startups in Israel.

We are a venture capital firm investing in early-stage startups, based in Tel Aviv. We work shoulder to shoulder with exceptional founders with huge dreams that once realized will make the world a better place. If you write lool, in lower-case, or turn it upside down, it kinda looks like 1001, which is a subtle hint of just how much we subscribe to the view that software is what it’s all about in the digital era. It turns out lool is also a Hebrew word, and it means a Crib, or a Hatchery, or a Chicken Coop. In fact, we like to think of lool ventures as all of these combined – a place where precious things are born and raised, and quickly grow. lool is brand new. It’s different. lool is about Israel and startups and web and media and people of all kinds, because that’s what it takes. lool is about being entrepreneur friendly – not just because we’ve been entrepreneurs like you not so long ago and we know what’s like to be down there “in the trenches” – but also because we understand very clearly that it is the entrepreneurs, their ideas and passion that are the real drive of our industry. lool is about providing value to the entrepreneur – whatever value is needed in order to realize the potential of your idea. In most cases it’s capital, but more often than not there are many additional values that are just as crucial to your success. In the next posts we’ll introduce you to the amazing lool mentors team, our advisors, the best-in-class professional services network and the loolspace, which is the physical manifestation of our Chicken Coop metaphor.
