Cardumen Capital was founded in 2018. Our vision was to create a leading venture capital and alternative investments company. We began with an Israel focus leveraging our networks in Israel and our track record investing since 2010. Part of our team was responsible for the founding and leadership of the the Samsung Ventures and Accenture Israel offices. Hence, it was only natural that in our first fund we would leverage our expertise to continue with the success we had at Samsung and Accenture.
Our first fund focused on early stage B2B Deep Tech for the Israeli market closes at $75 million. Our fund I is composed of 21 portfolio companies.
Cardumen Deep Tech Fund II focusing in early stage B2B Deep Tech startups in Israel is launched. We are now actively investing for this fund.
