The latest IVC Data-LeumiTech Investors Report is out, and I’m proud to share that Remagine Ventures has been recognised as one of the Most Active VCs in Israel in 2025, appearing on two key rankings: the overall most active VC funds (Israeli and foreign) by first investments, and the most active Israeli medium-sized funds ($50M-$200M).
In both categories, we recorded 9 deals, placing us alongside firms like Bessemer, and Insight Partners.
This is a testament to the incredible founders we’ve had the privilege of backing and the trust our LPs place in us.
For context, the IVC Investors Report is the definitive annual snapshot of venture activity in Israel, tracking deal flow across hundreds of funds. Being ranked among the most active isn’t just about volume… it reflects a deliberate strategy of staying close to the ground, meeting founders early, and moving with conviction when we see the right opportunity.
Investing Through Adversity
Let me be direct about something: we did this during a year of war.
2025 tested the resilience of the Israeli tech ecosystem in ways that no playbook could have prepared us for. While some investors pulled back and the world questioned whether Israel’s startup engine could keep running, we never took our foot off the gas. If anything, our conviction grew stronger.
The resilience we saw from Israeli founders was extraordinary. Engineers who served in reserve duty came back to their startups and shipped product. Founders who spent nights in shelters came to pitch meetings the next morning with the same fire in their eyes. We were determined to match that resilience with our own — by staying active, conviction-driven, and committed to supporting exceptional entrepreneurs at the earliest stages.
This ecosystem is built different.
As a first-check investor, our role goes beyond capital. We’re often the first institutional partner these founders work with, and that carries a responsibility we take seriously — from helping shape the go-to-market to making introductions that open doors. Being active means being present, and 2025 demanded nothing less.
Some of the Companies We Backed
While not all of our 2025 investments have been announced yet, here are a few that I’m excited to talk about:
- Pandorian AI – Engineering teams spend enormous amounts of time on code reviews, enforcing standards, and making sure best practices are followed across repositories. Pandorian turns that entire process on its head. Their AI-powered platform lets engineering leaders define architectural rules, security guidelines, and coding standards in plain English, and then enforces them automatically across all repos. Think of it as going from manual policing to system-wide governance. For any company scaling its engineering org, this is a game changer.
- Tapp – Retention is the name of the game in consumer apps and mobile gaming, and Tapp has built a clever platform to tackle it. They extend the app experience beyond the app itself, through Live Activities, home screen widgets, and other engagement tools that drive users back. If you’ve ever wondered why some apps feel “sticky” while others get forgotten on page three of your home screen, Tapp is building the infrastructure to make sure your app stays top of mind.
- Bridge – In SaaS, the real revenue game isn’t just about closing deals, it’s about keeping and expanding them. Bridge is an AI-driven revenue platform built specifically for post-sales teams, acting as a “revenue continuity agent” that manages retention, expansion, and net revenue retention. It connects to your existing tools, automates customer success workflows, and provides AI-powered insights to scale operations without scaling headcount. In a market where NRR is king, Bridge is helping companies protect and grow their existing revenue.
- Keewano DB– an agent-native database engine for the next wave of software – AI agents that don’t just write data, but continuously explore and reason over it. As organizations deploy thousands of concurrent agents over massive event streams, warehouse stacks hit a wall: schema friction, pipeline rebuilds, JSON compromises, and expensive data movement to compute.
We’re excited about what’s ahead
What ties these investments together is our belief that AI is reshaping every layer of the software stack: from how code is written and governed, to how consumers interact with apps, to how companies retain and grow revenue. We look for founders who see these shifts early and build with clarity and speed.
Kevin and I are excited for what’s ahead. We’ve already completed 3 investments in Q1 2026, and we’re keeping up the pace. Our thesis remains the same: we back exceptional Israeli founders raising their first check. Now investing out of our second fund, we’ve expanded our coverage to include everything around the digital economy: from AI infrastructure to vertical AI/ agentic AI and applications, including consumer. In fund I we stayed close to the intersection of technology, entertainment, gaming, and commerce, and while we still like those verticals, I’d say that overall our view is wider – these technologies will impact every vertical.
The IVC report validates what we’ve believed all along: that the best time to invest in Israeli tech is when others hesitate. The founders coming out of this period are battle-tested, capital-efficient, and building with a sense of urgency that you simply don’t find elsewhere.
If you’re an Israeli founder raising your first round, we’d love to chat.
