About Our Name

The Pitango is a semi-wild cherry that grows in almost every Israeli neighborhood. Finding the ripened Pitango fruit takes persistence, as the best Pitangos are always the hardest to find.

To enjoy the Pitango fruit at its finest, one must have a venture capitalist’s eye for opportunities. The best ones hide within the dense foliage, posing a challenge to reveal, that which is hidden to others. This requires experience, perfect timing, skillful handling and a very keen eye for opportunity.

This Pitango picking know-how is mirrored in our team’s ability to discern the most remarkable opportunities for our investors and invested companies. We believe that the life cycle of the Pitango, as described above, truly reflects our values and our experience.
