Viola Ventures Raises $250M Across Two New Funds to Support Israeli Tech from Early Stage to Scale

Viola Ventures has raised $250m across two new funds, extending its investment strategy across both early-stage and more mature Israeli technology companies.

The raise includes a new early-stage vehicle alongside Conviction Fund I, a $100m fund focused on secondary investments in selected portfolio companies, which has already been fully deployed.

The early-stage fund will concentrate on seed and Series A rounds, backing founders in areas where Israel has a strong track record, including enterprise software, cybersecurity, fintech, artificial intelligence and defence-related technologies.

Viola has positioned this vehicle as its primary source of new investments, aimed at identifying companies at the outset and supporting them through their formative years.

Conviction Fund I represents a more targeted approach. Rather than backing new startups, the fund was designed to increase exposure to outlier companies within Viola’s existing portfolio through secondary transactions, allowing the firm to double down on businesses it views as having exceptional long-term potential. The fund has now been fully deployed.

Viola Ventures, part of the wider Viola Group, has been active in the Israeli venture capital market for more than two decades and has built a portfolio of companies that have scaled into global markets. The firm’s dual-fund structure reflects a strategy that combines early conviction with selective capital concentration in later stages.
