Viola Ventures

Viola Ventures is led by its two co-founders. Shlomo Dovrat is co-founder and managing partner, and Avi Zeevi is co-founder and general partner, with Zeevi also active on the Viola FinTech side. Omry Ben David and Zvika Orron serve alongside them as managing partners, Alex Shmulovich as partner, and Tal Abuloff and Alon Cinamon as principals. Itzik Avidor holds a dual role as chief financial officer of Viola Group and partner at Viola Ventures, keeping fund finance inside the venture team rather than fully centralized. Across the wider group, Harel Beit-On is founder and general partner of Viola Growth, where Natalie Refuah, Igal Shany and Ayal Shiran are general partners, and Daniel Tsiddon is founder and general partner of Viola FinTech. Shared functions sit at group level, including data, human resources, marketing, legal and a dedicated investor relations team, infrastructure more typical of a private equity house than a venture fund.

Viola Ventures is the early-stage arm of Viola, which describes itself as Israel's leading technology investment group with more than $7 billion under management across four independent strategies, Viola Ventures, Viola Growth, Viola Credit and Viola FinTech, plus a feeder and co-investment vehicle called Viola Partners. Each arm runs its own investment team, investor base and pool of funds while sharing platform services, best practices and insights at group level. The venture franchise is deep into its fund sequence. Viola Ventures VI, L.P. filed a Form D in December 2020 from Herzliya, and Viola Ventures VII, L.P. filed in November 2025, both as indefinite-amount offerings, the usual pattern for an Israeli manager raising predominantly outside the United States. The firm added Viola Ventures Secondary SPV, L.P. in October 2025 out of Tel Aviv, a vehicle type that signals an active approach to generating liquidity for LPs in older vintages rather than waiting on exits. Viola positions the venture fund as backing early-stage Israeli companies through to category leadership.
