POWERING YOUR INNOVATION
4 years ago, we invested in a small startup @OMB from Gush Etzion. This wasn’t an easy decision; investing in a startup far from the ecosystem of Tel Aviv was a calculated risk. Since then, the company has raised successful rounds of funding, sold thousands of its products and scaled its growth worldwide.
This made a few things clearer to us: In the past several years we've witnessed a massive influx of Israeli start-ups breaking new records; however, close to 80% of these companies were from the center metropolitans - What about the rest?
Naturally there are many great entrepreneurs and ventures in the periphery - The need is vast and the talent is beyond great.
So, we decided to act and founded TIGA - A Venture Builder forming great companies from solid technologies hidden away from the main-stream.
Our drive combines the need to reignite Israel's tech eco-system with the capacity to reach untapped opportunities within Israel's innovation landscape. Our mandate and DNA is to provide all it takes to de-risk the venture Journey during its critical early stages.
