WE WANT TO BE YOUR FIRST INVESTOR

Cyrus funds Israeli pre-seed and seed software startups. Our investment comes together with active involvement in team building, strategy and business development.

ABOUT US

Cyrus Venture Partners was founded by entrepreneurs. Our aim is to become the first investor for innovative software startups, allowing the founders to tap into our long entrepreneurial and management experience, and helping them build successful companies.
Our sweet spot for initial investment is between prototype and initial market traction (we will typically not invest in presentation-only stage). Following investment, we work closely with the founders to build and study market traction. We then allocate more significant investment to the best performers.
