Technology companies require less capital and more innovation in order to succeed. Many venture funds have grown too large to effectively deploy the smaller amounts of capital more appropriately required by early stage companies. This phenomenon has been especially true in Europe and Israel, the markets in which the fund operates.
YL Ventures calibrates the amount of capital invested in early stage Internet, mobile and digital media companies to both milestones and the likely exits. This preserves the ability to reach a successful investment across a full range of exit scenarios and helps to keep the interests of the investors and entrepreneurs aligned. The fund also assists portfolio companies by maintaining relationships with potential partners and acquirer’s in Europe and the US.
